I was walking home from work the other day (my favorite non-specific temporal qualifier), and I witnessed probably the single best thing ever since my arrival in Seattle.  After crossing a street, I noticed a black guy ride by on a bicycle, followed immediately by a black guy on a Segway.  Upon closer inspection (I love Segways), I noticed that this particular specimen had been painted with a bright red racing stripe, and…could it be? Yes! Shiny plastic spinners.  It was basically the best moment of my entire life.  Also one of those moments that I desperately wanted my camera with me.

In other news, work is going well.  I’m acclimating to the new environment pretty well, and definitely getting along with my team.

Outside of work, I’ve started going to hip-hop and breakdancing classes at Velocity Dance Center, which 2 times a week for hip-hop and once a week for breakdancing.  The classes are really great, and I think I’ll make a lot of progress by the time the summer is over.  Barring that, I’ll at least be in decent shape.

In another series of highly improbably coincidences, seven other interns and I have formed The Funktors, an all-male a capella group that meets about twice a week and sings contemporary arrangements.  We’re pretty much the best a capella group made of male software development engineer interns ever.
