No puedo creerlo, ya paso un anio mas en mi vida! y que manera de festejarlo, estrenando house en compa;is de muchos amigos queridos, mi adorada esposa y, por supuesto, cookie :)
La reunion estuvo super padre y la comida soberbia!!! Nancy se apunto un ultra mega 10 con mil y un platillos mexicanos que fueron el deleite de todos. Para cerrar con broche de oro, un face-off en el postre con un pastel de tres leches cortesia de la chef Clau (aka chinchirrin special) y un pay de queso cortesia de Bere...mmmm creo que el pastel gano (porque tenia mi nombre je je je).
Muchas, muchas gracias a todos, me hicieron pasar un excelente cumpleanios!

Snow!!
Everywhere around Seattle!!.... I would say that about 60-70% of all Microsoft employees in the Puget Sound area ended up working from home today. My wife and I lived in Pittsburgh before moving to Seattle so we are used to the snow... however I can’t be anything but impressed on the amount of snow it fell today; it was pretty bad. If you add that to the fact that Seattleites are very ill prepared for situations like this (I mean it usually doesn’t snow that bad) it turned out to be one of the most peculiar days we’ve experienced here.
Not to pick on my neighbors but it was fun to watch one of them attempting to drive with a road fully covered by snow… he moved about 20 meters from his drive way and.. .well, lets say that neon is still parked in the middle of the street since 9am (it is now 7:30 pm). (And not he didn’t have an emergency, it was pure curiosity combined with a lack of common sense… I mean 2wd, no chains, sport tires…that is just asking for trouble).
The personal downside that we encountered is that our dog got so excited with the snow that he decided to run and run and eat and eat snow…of course he ended up throwing up and a bit sick but he is fine now. Other than that I think I actually enjoyed this day.
Seems that tomorrow conditions won’t improve much; good thing the remote access is holding up so far :)

Good thing thanks giving and december holidays are coming; this time around I'm reeeeaaaallly looking forward to them.

Wii component cable
In spite of reviews stating that the Wii component cable didn't help at all I purchased one for my 37 LCD TV and what a difference!! Images are crisp and vivid as opposed to blurry and washed out with the normal RCA cable.
I highly recommend getting the component cable if you have a HDTV. If you have a SDTV you probably won't notice the difference.
Something obvious but that still some people may be missing; once you connect the wii using the component cable you have to manually switch the resolution to 480p, otherwise the image will look the same or even worse as before.

Cookie aprende a ir al banio
Pues parece ser que despues de varias semanas nuestro perrito, Cookie, ya aprendio a ir al banio. Fue genial estar en la sala y ver como de repente cookie se levanta y corre a la puerta, agarra su correa con la boca y me la da.. y despues corre directo a la puerta, rascandola para indicar que queria salir; y efectivamente mas tardamos en salir que llego a su lugar preferido e hizo su asunto :)

I hate car dealers
Why is it that purchasing a new car has to be such a distasteful experience?
Dealers offer their fancy web pages where you supposedly ask for a quote and what do you get in return? Nothing... just a bunch of junk email urging you to visit them TODAY... it doesn't matter that you answer their emails and give them specific details of what do you want... no, they have to have you right there in the dealership so they can play all sorts of annoying selling games.
Why is it that buying a car can't be like buying a pizza? Seriously... I know exactly the car I want with all the options that I want and I know the maximum price I'm willing to pay... so, let me pick the damn car and click "purchase"!!!
The irony... the software that I help develop as part of my daily job gives these folks more tools to provide a "Better" customer experience... yeah, sure.
