We went down to New Braunfels for tubing today. We were a total of 11 people and 3 coolers (so 14 tubes). You basically sit on a rubber tire for 4 hours or so while drinking beer (or any other liquid you bring). Usually you get horribly sunburned, scarred and disfigured for life; but a good combination of industrial strength sunscreen lotion (did you ever see RoboCop?) and clouds saved me.
Some advise for future floaters: avoid banging your head with the rocks!
Last Saturday, my friend and former roommate (in Jerusalem) Abraham Braverman got married to Galit Margolis. Of course I flew to Mexico City. I got to see tons of people, some of them I hadn’t seen in almost ten years! (shit I’m old – and yet I look just as young and full of energy).
Update [9/1/2005]: Mario Kahn sent some extra pictures, including some with Abraham in them. Thank you Mario!
Last week, Nathan Finkelstein moved to Austin to pursue an MBA in UT.
Also, Arturo Karakowsky moved in as an exchange student. He is also as of last week my housemate. He is a decent FIFA player… goodbye productivity.
The Marcos Kirsch Experience® welcomes them both to the beautiful city of Austin.
I just judged my first cooking contest ever. Some observations follow:
Today I went to the supermarket and bought some Topo Chico. I really like that thing. Sixty-nine cents a bottle, “not too bad” I think to myself.
I just payed $7.32 mexican pesos for what is essentially a bottle of carbonated water. I’m a sucker!
If you think that the introduction of iTunes for Windows was a big deal, or that the switch to Intel was earth-shattering, think again.
Apple has done the unthinkable: they released a computer mouse with more than one button. And it’s very, very nice. The scroll wheel looks very handy, and you can configure it as a one-button mouse if you want to.
What will they think of next? A small cube-shaped computer? A color iPod?
No mention of this anywhere on the website now. Anyway, I thought it’s interesting. Sadly, either my security is too tight or nobody cares about hacking The Marcos Kirsch Experience
Carlos got us passes to go to a Maxim/Budweiser party last night. Click on the photo above to see a few pictures.
What you say?
Somebody set up us the bomb!
Damn it. As you can see, the .Mac sidebar thingie is broken, so there are no links to my .Mac albums on this page for now. This happened because Apple changed the way they generate the album pages. I need to fix it, but I don’t know how soon it’ll happen.
[Update 7/19/2005] There is also a warning at the top of the page. Man I suck!
[Update 7/24/2005].Mac sidebar has been fixed. You can now see the links to the albums directly over there.
