Last week I was offered a job at Thomson West as a Software Engineer and I accepted it! I start on January 30th. I’m pretty excited although I’ll miss Red Oak a lot.

Well, as I posted, the mayor of Rochester decided to kill the Fast Ferry. Probably all for the best, it just wasn’t making any money. But I regret that I never got to take it for a ride.
The Utica OD had an article about the Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Seminary/Monastery in Jordanville the other day. They also have an interesting slideshow about the same- it’s really cool because they have a recording of the Monks chanting in the background. You can view it here.
(Jordanville is in Herkimer County near Ilion)
Calin and I went to the Royal Dynasty Chinese restaurant last night; we called ahead and ordered a Peking Duck- I had it once in Manhattan, but Calin had never had it. It was really good; I wanted to take a picture, but we thought it would look weird if I took a picture of our meal at the restaurant.
We also got to visit the two indy coffee houses in the area. On Saturday we walked to Webster Village and got coffee at Joe Bean. It had a really good atmosphere- better than I thought it would. Then today we went to Earthtones after church; they also had an awesome atmosphere. Both served Finger Lakes Coffee, and both had free wireless internet, so we’ll probably be visiting them more often.
We still haven’t found (or actively looked for) any really good bars in the area, but there is a billiard hall that we want to try out sometime.
Apparently the Consumer Electronics Show is going on in Las Vegas this week, so the blogsphere is reporting on all sorts of cool stuff I don’t need; here are a couple things I saw that I wanted to share:
