Sun Days

3:09 PM April 26, 2009

I'm stuck at home today, on this beautifully sunny day, doing some contract work. So I decided to make the most of it by working wirelessly from my laptop on the balcony. We have a pretty decent view from our condo, and we can even see the ocean and all the way to Port Angeles in the states on a clear day. It's great working outdoors on such a sunny day while my cat chases bugs around the balcony, but the sun glare on my monitor is terrible. It seems to glare no matter what I do (even if I cover the sides and top of the monitor). Any tips on how to improve that when you are out in the sun?

Asuka has been sick with a virus for the last few days so she's been stuck at home too. I went to pick up some stuff for her at the store today, so while I was out I also decided to pick up a MatchaChillo from Blenz for myself. I've probably mentioned how much I love these drinks in my blog before because I love anything flavoured with matcha. The relaxed energy the tea gives you is really nice too. So mixing matcha with ice cream on a hot day like today is bliss!

I remember blenz coffee, i used to go daily after teaching overseas since it would be on my stop home to check emails and the lot, so id grab one..! as for the laptop glare... its a hit or miss.. They have hoods, but they look kinda ridiculous, when im outside with mine, i try to find a shady spot. I also used a wireless mouse and keyboard.. and made the fonts slightly larger / easier to read when im outside.. A pain but its doable for the time being.
