Woo, because of this e-mail conversation with E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) registration:

I wrote to E3 customer service:
>E3 Industry Registration requires 2 forms of ID on this
>list:

> * Resale Tax Certificate
> * Company Credit Card (with Applicant's name)
> * Insurance Card

They wrote back:

No, I believe you. I see other* in the database from XXXX
1. I have qualified you so no need to send anything.

What Happened to Spring?!?


It's HOT. Like, mother fucking Samuel L. Jackson hot. It feels hotter here too because the air is dry as hell. I can say that because I know what East coast hot is like-- Nasty.

My ambient temp sensor on the GLI read 104 degrees the whole drive home. WTF BBQ, literally, with my car equaling the BBQ.

I'm so spoiled by the humidity & temperature controlled data center I spend most of my day in, so now I try to run to any air-conditioned room I can find.

Today's the first day of my night time Linux 3 class. It's especially hot here in Walnut/Pomona, so naturally, I ran to the 1st ice cold room I could think of: my professor's office. I spent about an hour there before he kicked me out, so I ran to the English Writing Lab for refuge.

I liked last week better. 71 degree drives home all week.

Now, It's so hot, even with the dial to full cold & fresh air, it only takes the HVAC 6 seconds to warm up after A/C is toggled off.
