Stefan Rusek | After much work we finally did it

After much work we finally did it

December 2, 2007 @ 4:00 pm

Last night and today, Aneta and I have been holding an A-Team marathon, and the thing I’ve been wondering about for a while has finally happened. It took us a long time but we finally did it. We ran out of minute on NetFlix Instant Watching. I have continuously been amazed at the dvd quality streaming that those great guys at NetFlix have been able to pull off. If you’ve been putting off getting a NetFlix membership you should do it right now. We love it! (I don’t even get anything if you sign up, and I still think you should do it.)

Stefan Rusek | Our garden is in bloom again

Our garden is in bloom again

October 19, 2007 @ 5:17 pm

I took this at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in September 2007.

This morning I noticed that the plants in the garden in front of our apartment have started blooming again. Aneta and I had thought they were done and so we stopped watering them. Well it turns out that global warming has its perks. (Though I doubt that having an extra month of flowers it really such a great trade-off of global warming.) One of the bushier plants that Aneta planted mid-summer has started blooming. I didn’t realize that it was flowering at all, and it has lovely purple flowers.

Niagara Falls

Last weekend (Oct 4 through Oct 8), Aneta and I took a trip to Niagara Falls. The falls were great. Aneta took some great pictures. We saw them from high up and from low down, from the US and from Canada, early in the morning and late at night.

Me and Aneta Chill'n by the Falls on the US Side

I love watching Aneta take photos. She does such a great job.

People are generally right when they say that the falls look better from the Canadian side and there are plenty of great things about the Canadian side. The best thing is of course the view of the falls, and the absolutely best place to see the falls from is the top of the Skylon Tower (I kept accidentally calling it the Canada 311 (2) Cylon Tower, which I probably would have done even if I hadn’t watched Battlestar, but since I have I would then think "It looks nothing like a cylon.") We had lunch up at the top. It was a lot of fun and we had a great view. At the bottom of the tower, there is an arcade. Aneta and I played a couple rounds of air hockey, which is always fun. The highlight of our play was the round of Daytona USA that we played (in Canada). The game is over ten years old and it is amazing to me that it is still around. After a close race, Aneta pulled ahead and smoked me.

Since my last post, Aneta and I have lived in New York for about 1 year and 10 months. I work at Fog Creek Software, and it is as great a place to work as you might get the impression it is from reading things on the internet. Aneta just started her fourth semester at New York University. Maybe she will write about her opinion of NYU. We have two cats. Lusia has been with us for about a year and a half. She is about 2 and a half years old. Escupito is our new adoptee. He used to be a indoor/outdoor Tennessee cat, but now he is a happy little city kitty.

I am very lucky. I have a sexy wife, a great job, 2 wonderful cats, a few fantastic friends, and live in a beautiful apartment.

So far I am pretty annoyed with WLM! I don’t have any invites so I can’t try any of the new features out, GRRR!

Pounding the Pavement

@ 1:05 pm

I am so glad that the subway are running again. We went apartment shopping yesterday and today. Each day we walked well over 100 blocks. We have found one that we really like. It is only 3 times what we were paying in TN. (I know you’re thinking 3x is a lot, but we were expecting 4x.) The appartment we found is also about twice the square feet of our apartment in TN. The only problem is that we wanted to apply today, but we can’t so the application is sitting on my desk here in the hotel.

After a long time, I am finally graduating from college. I am finishing up with a BS in Physics and Computer Science. I am graduating on December 17, 2005 at 2:00pm. You are invited to come, and we can all get together afterwards. Email me for more info if you would like to come.

Additionally, Aneta has applied for admission to New York University and has been accepted for this spring. She will continue to study Biology (Premed) and Music. I am super proud of her and excited for her.

I have accepted a job working for Fog Creek Software (http://www.fogcreek.com/). They are located in New York as well, so we will be moving to New York real soon.
