A Month in Pictures

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007

I haven’t posted a lot in the last month, so I thought I’d catch up by pointing to a few pictures from the last few weeks.

First, for those of you who don’t live in Champaign, we got hit by a pretty big blizzard a few weeks ago. About 15″ of snow, 35 mph winds and a lot of stuff was closed. Things probably shouldn’t have stayed closed as long as they did, but that’s another story. I was excited about the snowfall until Minnesota got 25″-30″ over the course of last week and I realized missed out. Still, it was nice to get a good snowstorm here in Illinois. Too bad it melted a week later.

Next, the Hilldores were finally able to get their hands on a Wii. Wii-ve had several partys over there the last few wii-ks to play. Wow, the puns just keep on coming…

A couple weeks ago, we hosted a dinner party for Brian & Amy, Michael & Katey. We played classic video games, DDR, guitar hero and karaoke. Good times.

And finally, Kim Labs had a happy hour after which people came back to our place to hang out.

*whew* I think that gets me pretty much caught up…

Speed Up Mail.app

For those of you using the Mac mail program out there, you may want to check out this housekeeping trick.  Basically, it cleans up the inbox database, which can become fragmented from extended use.  I don’t have any hard evidence to prove things are faster, but things do feel a bit more zippy when I’m navigating my mailboxes.
