The climbing trip was amazing! Everyone who came loved it and are totally hooked!! We're already starting to organize the next trip (hopefully next week). I have to admit though..the whole idea was a selfish one. I just wanted to have a regular climbing partner.. I didn't expect such a huge turnout and didn't expect people to get so hooked! I figured that once people took lessons and got certified, they were more likely to go again :P Anyhow, it's turned into a big bonding event at ScanSoft and people are now stopping me in the hallway and asking to be added to the climbing mailing list...eek!!! What have I started??! haha! So on Monday I attempted this one wall which has a ceiling that you have to climb across and pull yourself over. It's my nemesis. I got close to the ceiling but lost my grip before I could get on it. GRR!!

Yesterday, I stopped by the Eaton center to buy some gifts for this weekend (Shan's engagement party, and something for Pat...okay, and something for me too :P ). So not only did I get all my gift shopping done, but I also bought some stuff for me, including a pair of velcro shoes...I feel like a goofy 5-year-old wearing them, but I love it!! PLUS, I even managed to go the gym for a 1 1/2 hours...I was on FIRE!

Interested in SALT? Well this is what I've been working on for the past month or so. I'm creating dialogmodules for the MS SALT Platform. Super cool stuff!

Today on Slashdot...the Earth Simulator. I think I'm a nerd because I really like reading about this kind of stuff.
