Via the Face Transformer, this is apparently what I’ll look like in a couple decades or so:
Speaking of aging, I think I’m going to need glasses soon. I was talking to a friend about this on Sunday, and the very next day I got a letter in the mail saying I have an appointment with an ophthalmologist later this month. This was interesting news, because I made no such appointment, the phone number they have on file for me hasn’t been mine for two and a half years, and the appointment is at UCD Med Center — which I’ve never even visited before — with a doctor I’ve never heard of. Nice of someone to think of me, though.

- The Shins performing on the streets of Paris, courtesy of Blogotheque. That led me to a lot of great videos in the Take Away Shows series, but the Shins entry is still my favorite of the ones I’ve viewed so far.
- A blind man on roller blades. He had a sighted person with him, and he was holding a cane and wearing an orange vest that said “BLIND” on it. I would have gone with a dog instead of a cane, wouldn’t you?

Today was my first day as an employee of the County of Sacramento — and also the midpoint of a nine-day work week for me. I worked Thursday through Sunday at Apple, and now I’m working a regular week at DHA. Actually, I’m glad I did it this way, because I was kind of sad to leave Apple, so it was good to plunge into my new job right away.
I think I’ll enjoy my new job, too. The first half of the day today was spent in New Employee Orientation, so I only had about three hours at my new job, but they issued me the tools of the trade — one of these and one of these — and showed me around the office and to a couple of remote sites. I think I’ll fit in pretty well.

That’s it — I need to get a motorcycle just so I can wear one of this guy’s helmets. Some favorites: Boba Fett, a knight’s helm, the doctor, and of course Spidey.
