Another snow day

Fri, 02/26/2010 - 7:17am

Snow.Our office is closed for today due to snow, so I'm working from home again today. Sasha's flight is today, let's hope it will go.

I had plans for dinner yesterday but had to cancel it due to the weather.

Here are some pictures I took two weeks ago; it's much the same outside now.

Saturday in Somerset

Sat, 02/20/2010 - 8:11pm

I woke up early today and spent the morning programming. I'm now managing a second team, and that product using Adobe Flex technology. I made some small UI changes to get a feel for the technology and how to do builds.

Then I went for a long run until 2.30 pm, followed by an afternoon of shopping. At the Franklin Township Library I picked up some books. I read David Brinn's Uplift Novels in the last few weeks (a great find) and I was without a book for a while.

Avatar

Avatar.Sasha arrived in New Jersey on Friday. On Saturday we went for dinner and a movie.

We went to the movie theater in New Brunswick and watched Avatar.

The film showed a beautiful alien world, with great flora and fauna. It was an entertaining movie and great to see it in 3D. It's been a long time since I've seen a movie in 3D.

Kroket

Wed, 02/10/2010 - 8:00pm

I know, I know, not healthy... but so delicious!

Tonight I made kroket for the very first time. It's a deep fried meat snack, and very popular in the Netherlands.

I compared three different recipes to create my own, and it worked well. The crust was great, the filling tasty. Not 100% like in the Netherlands yet, but very close.

To the snow

Mon, 02/08/2010 - 8:50pm

Car in the snow.Saturday evening we had a fun dinner with friends at home and the dessert turned out quite well. On Sunday morning I traveled to New Jersey.

In the plane I met a researcher from Penn State, and I gave him a ride from the airport to Princeton. The car, parked near the airport, was covered under a foot of snow which was kind of cool. The roads were are all clear. Pennsylvania is obviously better prepared to deal with snow than southern states.

In the evening there was a Super Bowl party which was a lot of fun; very diverse crowd of people.

Tonight I cooked koolraap -- rutabaga in English, as I recently learned. When I was a kid I didn't like it at all, but it was delicious. Simply boiled, with boiled potatoes and a meatball.

Snow days

Tue, 02/02/2010 - 10:36pm

Car with snow.Sunday the world was still covered in snow. We went for a walk at the Al Buehler trail, around the Duke golf course. It was beautiful. We even saw a few runners, braving the icy conditions.

When I cleaned the car on Saturday I used a kitchen utensil to get rid of the snow. Worked pretty well. This is a rental, our own car is at the airport in Philadelphia.
