brief status report

Still working at Microsoft, splitting my time among a whole raft of different projects. Still reasonably satisfied with that.

Still not sure what I'm going to do about my PhD.

Still not finished unpacking boxes yet...but we have a working Internet connection and phone. The big things left to be done are the study, the master bedroom, and the art (of which we have a lot that we now have to decide where to put). Haven't done as much painting as we probably will relatively soon.

Still don't have all the furniture we're planning on getting (still missing: bed frame+mattress, bureau for Megan, probably a couple of futon frames), but OMGWTFBBQ we've dropped a lot on furniture and appliances since we moved in. It's a good thing we have a decent income, because otherwise we'd be scroooood.

Still haven't posted Corwin photos for June.


Still not King.

the wonder and majesty of the ukulele

Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain performs Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" [Google Video]. The vocalist isn't great, but it's otherwise quite interesting as a performance.

Jake Shimabukuro plays George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" [Google Video]. V. impressive.
