I am now all moved in to the new house. By all moved in I should clarify: everything I could fit in the Jetta. As you can imagine the trunk was dedicated to computers, monitors, parts, and cords exclusively. Clothes and other miscellaneous items (including my favorite plant that has been with me for over a year now) consumed the main cabin. 12 hours of driving and only one U-turn later, which is impressive to anyone who understands my sense of direction, I made it. There were only two dramatic moments. The first was a realization, 2 hours into the drive, that I had left my ATM card in the ATM machine on Franklin Street. Whoops. With some clever maneuvering (thank you Google Mobile Maps) I was able to make it to a Wachovia before reaching empty and without having to backtrack. It’s been interesting living on limited cash funds since. The other drama was driving through New York City on I-95 at 5:30pm on a Friday. Whoops.

Work at the CIT began on Monday. I’m trying to learn the Tablet PC API’s as quickly as possible. It turns out to be pretty neat stuff – recognition, at least in some forms, is less black magic than one might imagine. Today I played on the Computer Science softball team. Good fun, for sure. I had a homerun and a few base hits. We wound up winning 43-11. Good game. Good day. Tired as heck. Good night.
