So yesterday was my birthday. Closer to 40 than 35 now.

I spent the day programming. I'm trying my best to get a nice iPad app of Money done before this weekend. It's definitely coming along and I've manage to get one value-add in over the original, which is that it takes advantage of the iPad's slightly different screen size (one value add other than the fact that everything is just going to be larger and easier to read, that is).

It's totally unclear if I can get this in for the iPad launch, both because of my time constraints and other issues that I probably can't speak of due to NDA, but if not it'll be there slightly thereafter and I'll have a good model for all of our card games going to the iPad in extended forms.

In the evening K. and I went out to Oscar's for dinner, which was my request. Tasty chicken sandwich and fries.

Then I biked up to EndGame by an unusual route (again). This time it was Milvia to Shattuck to Telegraph. Shattuck is a tight little road down south that's quite busy, but if anything it was nicer than Telegraph along the same stretch because of the lower total car count.

(I've ridden that section of Shattuck before, but never on the way to EndGame, and never all the way down to its end.)

Gaming was good. I played only things I'd played before, and all stuff I liked. Tigris & Euphrates was the best of the day. I was very happy new-guy-at-Endgame, Evan, asked me to bring it. According to BGG, I hadn't played the game since 2005. Ah, how the classics are lost to us in the Cult of the New.

It always rains on or around my birthday. I actually took BART home last night due to the rain. Then it *poured* this morning. Pretty and sunny now though.

Woke up very early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep, so I was up before 7. Up and programming, actually That's about as unusual as it gets for me.

Guess I don't sleep as well now that I'm old.
