Fort Reno event  I heard a Dj on WMUC say there was a show this thursday at Fort Reno Park. Sure enough I hit up the web site Fort Reno 2005 which usually lies dormant most of the year and there is a show, and they hint darkly at a summer schedule to be posted later. The Fort Reno shows are great largely unheralded DC tradition featuring indie rock and allied bands playing in the big patch of grass in the neigborhood of Wilson high school and Deal Jr. high.  The show this Thursday is slated to feature The Rude Staircase, Sentai and Gist. These events if I recall, usually take place in the early evening before the sun goes down. 11:57:49 PM    comment [];trackback []; Marble Solitaire vs. deep teal Followed a, well I guess I was following a ping... at any rate it lead me to a subsection of a web log called _ The Tale of Dusty and Pistol Pete - Obsessions. One of these individuals seems to be a guinea pig, the other a person. No idea which is which. What he had is a solution to the marble solitaire game I have. (he has a link back to my original post which was back in January). I didn't want to look at it. Picking up that game is one of my few consistent pleasures. Moreover; how far I get with it is usually a good indicator of how well my thoughts are organized at any particular moment. I never get very far. I like that I have a solution, that I can ignore, and that somebody else finds themselves interested by this little puzzle. Not only did he solve this puzzle. then he made it harder by adding and extra row to each limb. After that he wrote a program to solve it. I can make a slinky walk down a flight of stairs. 11:54:31 PM    comment [];trackback [];
