Yet you still got up at oh-dark-thirty. We have very different ideas of how to spend a day off. 
Iām more inclined to get up crazy-early on a day off because it means I get to do more of the things I want to do.

I was totally home alone Saturday night, everyone was gone.
I got up at 6:00 on Sunday. It was glorious.
More of the things I want to do usually includes sleeping longer. 
Yeah, but youād have stayed up far later that I did last night. 
I rode my motorcycle to work today. The after-market EEPROM has totally transformed the engine dynamics. Compared to the old (stock) EEPROM, itās like being fired out of a cannon when I give the throttle a twist.
So if any of you out there have a fuel-injected Aprilia, get yourself one of Gabroās EEPROMs.
The OS upgrade on my home server went smoothly. This is quite different to last time, when I ended up having to do a complete re-installā¦
Siglet Prime turns 6 today. I took the day off and we are going to the Seattle Aquarium. Walking across the Bremerton ferry, so I donāt have to actually drive in Seattle.
Going to the Zoo yesterday with Mrs. Viking and Little Miss Viking.
Little Miss Viking now knows how loud a lionās āRaaa Raa Raaaā really is. 
And this picture makes me giggle like a loon at times.
Frozen won Best Animated Picture and Let It Go won Best Original Song at the Academy Awards tonight.
I got a five-page story written, which was the last step in submitting my application for one of the grants/scholarships my writersā community hands out every year. Now the wait for the resultsā¦

You ever listen to Writing Excuses? I have a couple times and itās pretty cool, I assume itās good for writers too.
Wrote my first SQL query using windowing functions today. Even better, it worked right on the first try!
Iāve not heard of that, Woodman - more info please?
Sounds like a podcast
Podcast with Howard Taylor (From Schlock Mercenary), Brandon Sanderson (From many World Building books that are fun), Dan Wells (Who I canāt remember), and Mary Robinette Kowal (Who I think Iāve read but canāt remember again, I think she was someone in SFWA too).
About 15 minutes long āBecause you donāt have that much time, and weāre not that smartā, there are nine seasons worth of things. They also have guests and special episodes, and end with a writing challenge to get people to write.
Cool - thanks Woodman, Iāll definitely check it out.
[size=4]The funniest thing? People believed it and then got angry when they found out it was a prank.[/size]
Half day vacation today so I can head down to Toronto ComiCon where I have a booth in Artists Alley for my buttons. Three hours and Iām outta here!

Iām no longer a manager! It was something I had to try, but after a year and a half, I have come to the conclusion that I donāt have the people skills or the interest in politics required to be a manager of people.
I am not returning to being a tech, but I am exploring the world of databases. I get the relief of letting something go that I wasnāt good at and the fun of learning a new skill.
