Upgraded my Wordpress install to the latest, and my theme started throwing errors on every page. I added a comment to the first line of every PHP page, and that fixed it. I don’t know why it fixed it. It shouldn’t have done anything at all, but whatever.

My computer suddenly lost its wireless network card. I jostled, rebooted, even fixed permissions. Nothing. So, I cracked it to reseat the card. In the process I dropped one of those teeny, tiny little screws. I peered, brushed, even got a magnet. I found a rock, some bits of wood, some lint, something I couldn’t begin to identify and enough dust to choke a bunny, but the screw remains determinedly missing.
The computer works. I have a network again, but I remain thoroughly unsatisfied.

Saw a dude at Supercuts getting a mohawk. Now, if you want a mohawk, that’s fine, and Supercuts is OK (though they feel overpriced to me these days). But a mohawk at Supercuts?! I can’t make those things fit together in my brain.

I headed downtown to check out the soapbox derby. It was CRAZY crowded. I heard one estimate of 100,000 people, and I’d bet good money that about 90 percent of them were all within about 1 square foot of where I was. There were plenty of crazy cars and costumes to make pictures of.

Finally saw Elvis in concert. Finally saw a concert at the Greek. That crosses two off my life list.
It was a fun show, but a very weird encore. It seems like the encore may have been longer than the show itself with a few song choices that seemed to kill the show’s momentum. It was good though. I should have ponied up for the better seats. The Greek is a small venue, but even still, I could barely see the stage, and the TV monitors didn’t do much to help. An extra $50 would have gone a long way, and in the scheme of things, what’s $50?

Over the weekend, I went to the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, CA. It’s free on Sundays since Target is sponsoring them, which certainly bumped up their goodwill with me. I’d never been to that museum before, but I really liked it. It’s not too big, and the art is all really interesting.

I took a drive through Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks making pictures of soaring vistas, tall trees, playful wildlife and deep, dark caves.

I heard about something called Taguchi split testing. Now, you’d think I’d know what this is, being that I’m a marketing professional and all. Unfortunately, it turns out I still don’t know everything. So, off to Google where I found Taguchi Explained… For Dummies. Now, at least I understand what it is. I still have absolutely NO clue how it works. In fact, I wonder if it really even does work. I need to find a good statistics class.
