I took another trip to California, this time with Norman. It was a pretty crazy day hours. We left at midnight, got to Sunny’s around 6 hours later, left her place, and then ended up Morgan’s by the end of the day. I think exhaustion hit Norman and I pretty bad, because we ended up [...]
Snow Day 12/11
Oh man, we just got hit hard and wcco predicts up to 20 inches of snowfall by end of day today. Pretty amazing, and more amazing to see all of the cars and trucks that can’t make it through. Good thing I am on my bicycle with slicks. Definitely had to make a photo run, [...]
First Snow
We had our first snow in Minneapolis a couple days ago, so I went out and took some photos. Definitely a beautiful sight. I plan on taking more before I head back to Arizona, but I have also been working a lot to get a new system up and running.
Norman’s Visit
Norman arrived on the 3rd and I totally forgot to take photos when he came up to Minneapolis for a visit, but we did have a chance to look through some old photos of Phoenix from back in the day. He was able to take a look at the grad program offered by Minnesota State [...]
Best Week Ever
Story time for future Matt. On the 15th of this month I headed to California to see about a girl. While at Fyf Fest Fran introduced someone named Sunshine in a pleasantly diabolical scheme to provide me with a reason to move to California. She did freelance design work and had a sweet smile. It [...]
Laura Stevenson and the Cans
The amazing band Laura Stevenson and the Cans played a show at The Trunkspace this past Monday. I was running late getting there so my mom ended up taking me and my bike, which actually made me early. I got a chance to talk to Laura for a little bit and she is super nice. [...]
Numeric equivalent of an Excel column name
I wrote this little php function to see how small I could make the code. I think I did pretty well and figured I would post it here as to not forget in case I needed to actually use it some day. There might be a better way, but I had some fun with this. [...]
Up Late
I have realized writing at night isn’t my strong suite, so this is me working on correcting my poor night-owl writing skills. I figured this would be a good time to write about my day with Norman. We finally saw Scott Pilgrim vs. the World which was AMAZING! Before the movie went over to Green [...]
Fyf Fest
So it turns out I suck at updating. I haven’t reread my last entry, but I ended up not having a broken wrist which was good. Not sure if that was in there or not. I also went to Fyf Fest with Norman which was pretty awesome. I got a chance to see John Darnielle [...]
