So let’s see…
The big news is that Katie has accepted a position with Arch Wireless. What her job function precisely is, we’re not sure. Where we will be living, we’re not quite sure either. But hey, it’s a job – and it’s more than I’ve got. My job search continues, and has been nearly entirely fruitless…but losing hope isn’t going to get me anywhere.
The wedding has hit the home stretch and is even more stressful than it ever was before. If you need my assistance with something wedding related, please be patient with me – everything is very touchy. On better news, we’re taking a honeymoon! Yes, we will be in NYC for 4 days right after the wedding in a nice hotel and all that jazz.
MWNY has turned into a fiasco this year. For those of you who aren’t entirely up to date on the sordid world of Macintosh journalism, Apple’s PR people came up with a press blacklist this year for sites that are not to be given press passes. Of course, this story quickly change to “IDG has requirements that not all sites are meeting” – and despite utterer.com meeting all of the requirements, we are being denied press passes. Taking that, adding the fact that I have virtually no money to get to New York on, and multiplying by the fact that nearly all of the big name companies are skipping the expo…it’s not going to happen. Sorry to those of you who were hoping to see me there.
DDR front – passed Kakumei on Heavy. Full comboed Tsugaru on Heavy. Still cannot pass any Oni courses.
That’s most of the big news. If you need me, you know where to reach me.
Incidently, the title of this article roughly translates to “They Can Kill You, But the Legalities of Eating You Are Quite A Bit Dicier.”

Good God
The DDR 3rd Mix Korean v2 machine a mere 2 miles away was converted to a 7th Mix, and it’s still 75 cents for 3 songs.
To celebrate, I’ve updated the bio and percents page, and a wedding page will be up soon.

Alright, let’s see what’s happened since the last time I posted…
**Katie graduated.** Her big todo – which she was underenthused about – was on the 23rd. She should be getting Cum Laude honors (Towson is a little slow on the calculations), and I’m very proud of her. We immediately jumped in a car and drove back up to Ithaca.
**I graduated.** My big todo was on the 26th, and it was surprisingly pleasant. The main ceremony was absurdly large, and the CS ceremony was absurdly disorganized, but all in all it was nice – Hunter gave a decent speech. Danny Glover, who spoke at the Congregation the day before, was terrible. Oh well.
**I got a new iMac and an iPod.** My parents are too good for me, as this was my graduation present and birthday present – except that I’ve gotten more for each occasion. The iPod is badass, the iMac is great, and I’m rounding out my accessories (new mouse because my old one is causing system crashes, more RAM, etc).
**I got a PlayStation 2.** How sad is it that this is a highlight? I’m up to four games as of press time (GTA3, FFX, SSX Tricky, TM:B), and thanks to the Blockbuster Games Freedom pass, I’ll probably have played every other major release by the end of next month.
**I moved out of Quarry.** So my old address no longer is any good.
**I moved to Maryland.** That’s right, I’m officially gone from NY, much to the sadness of my family. I also switched over my new cell phone (Motorola 120t) to a Maryland number, so that’s changed too. Katie and I are living out of her room, which is working surprisingly well given how small the room is.
**I still haven’t found a job.** And not for lack of trying, either. But we’ll keep on trying.
**I turned 22.** That’s today. Woohoo.
So what’s in the future? Tomorrow Kate and I take a much needed vacation to NYC, and then spend the weekend in NJ for a White family reunion. DDR will ensue, and we’ll head back home on Sunday. Outside of that, everything’s up in the air.
On the wedding front, invitations have gone out – sadly, not everyone I wanted to get one will get one. I apologize to all of you who feel shafted. :/
I think that’s about it on the Dan front. Please feel free to email me – it’s still the same address.
