Where have I been?

We went to London a few weeks back to visit my S-i-L. It was great: we rode the London Eye, took a tour on the Thames, saw a museum exhibit on video games, and ate my new favorite food the Cornish Pasty.

Unfortunately, when I got back I found out that half of my co-workers had been laid off and I have been in a rush to get everything done here and at school.

Wii Pre-order, um, Madness?

This store in Towson, MD said they had 14 Wiis for pre-order. Yes, there’s one dude there (lower right corner). That must be his car because at 8AM on Oct 13, 2006, he was the only one in the shopping center. Did I mention it was 41 F out?

Contest to design a better Pratt St corridor

One downside to living in Baltimore is the lack of a shopping “district” for normal day-today things like clothes, electronics…just stuff. We always find ourselves driving to either White Marsh or some other suburb which kind of defeats living in a city. Hopefully, one of the new proposals that will enter the contest to redesign Pratt St will include a shopping area that is nice enough for a tourist area but not so upscale no one really shops there…it should be a functional part of the city.
