Weather in Newport, RI

Before moving up to Newport, RI, I was told by everyone that I was going to enjoy the amazing weather here! But since moving up here in June, it has been constantly raining and surprising cold! So I wanted to see just how the temperatures for this June compared to the average temperatures for June. (I used the data from www.weather.com.)

Yup, definitely some random crazy cold weather this year. But hey, all this cold and rainy has definitely motivated me to stay inside and work longer hours, haha. I heard it is going to get nicer in July...maybe?...Anywho, it's good to have things to look forward to :)

Starbucks in Arlington

Inspired by the following YouTube video,


I wanted to see just how many Starbucks there are in Arlington.

In the GoogleMap below, I mapped all the Starbucks (SB) location in Arlington.


14 in "North" Arlington, 8 in "South" Arlington
All are in very close proximity to a metro...

So how does Arlington compare to some other citys?
Through the use of the http://www.starbucks.com/ and wikipedia, I have aggregated the following Starbucks/person and Starbucks/sq mile ratios...and the winner is DC for the most Starbucks per person, just edging out Manhattan!

Good Bye Xanga

I have been talking about starting a new site to blog about my random thoughts (hence the blog name) for a while now and I figure now is as good a time as any.

This site may seem like a random collection of thoughts, projects, observations. And you are right, it is. I hope the entries can be random, nerdy, and interesting :)

I actually have a xanga site (http://nemesis059.xanga.com/) but I haven't updated it since September 2008. I hope I can be more consistent and more focused with this blog, so Good Bye Xanga, Hello Blogspot!
