I got to Houston on Thursday and when I started using my MacBook Pro, I noticed that my battery died rather quickly. I charged it up, tried again, fifteen minutes later it was dead again. I’m not sure how long my battery has been fried (although if I would have to guess, I would say from the storms a few weeks ago) since I mostly use it plugged in with the new display.

Well, today I made an appointment at the Apple Store in Galleria for 2:10PM, by 2:25PM I was walking out of the store with a new battery. Apple service rocks! (In the US at least).

Nerd Cake

This is probably the best way to sum up my birthday. Look at that cake and tell me it doesn’t rock! I had an awesome time yesterday with Cesar, Coraly and of course, Ana. We had a really nice dinner at Austin Land and Cattle and then just chilled out at my place for some drinks.

I made out pretty well on presents too! Highlights include some tech books (parents), some dvds (sister), a whiteboard!, which I was really happy to get and then noticed how much of a nerd I am (thanks babe!) and a bottle of belgian beer to share with my buddy Cesar.

Overall, Awesome!

Interesting how people feel threatened by what they don’t understand, even simple things like language.

American Family Association - AgapePress news: “Junior Zach Rubio was suspended for one and a half days from Endeavor Alternative School in Kansas City for speaking Spanish, his father’s native language. According to one Washington Post report, the teen says another boy asked him a question in Spanish in the school hallway during a bathroom break, and it only felt natural to Rubio to reply in the same language, which he did.”

First the whole ID debacle, and now sending kids to the office for speaking spanish. Kansas has to be the most retarded state ever.

I particularly love this part:

Boulet feels the school was in a no-win situation, where if it does not stop someone from doing something bad it gets sued and if it tries to stop someone from doing something bad, it gets sued. Now, he says, as a result “we have a situation here where the [Rubio] family is all ready to file a lawsuit because the father is a new American citizen, and evidently he learned in citizenship class that whenever you’re unhappy with someone, file a lawsuit.”

WOW!!!, can you believe this! Speaking spanish is BAD!. There you have it all Spanish speaking American citizens do bad things when you speak Spanish. Wow, just wow, the ignorance, closed-mindness and intolerance in this country are sometimes unbelievable.

UNCLE!, yikes, I’m going to be an uncle in around say, 9 months. Scary.

Hey everyone, I’m glad to let everyone know that Ana and me are back together. Third time’s a charm, Wish us luck.

As most of you know, I just got back from my 10 day vacation in PR. I have to say I had an awesome time there. I saw a whole bunch of people I haven’t seen in a long time, and I got to spend quality time with all of them. I pretty much hung out every night while I was down there, and I managed to go to the beach at least once (It was rainy most of the time there because of hurricane Dennis). this was one awesome vacation!.
