  • Something Somewhere Sometime

    Just before I was about to leave Vancouver, I noticed my laptop acting up. While I normally handle such issues easily, this time it was a sign of impending doom. The video card failed the day before I was supposed to fly to Chicago, putting a wrench in my plans as the gig I was…

  • An open challenge to myself

    That’s right I’m challenging myself to write something on the old blog once a week for the rest of the year.  This may seem like a low goal to some and to others it may seem like there’s no point to this exercise, but it’s not for them it’s for me! 

  • Rambling

    Yesterday was a great day.  Started out with an awesome ride in to the office.  The ride isn’t the same as the ride I used to have in Seattle.  What used to be a 4.5k ride from my place in Seattle to my office is now a 9.8k ride from my home to my office…

  • Holidays 2008 – post production report

    The 2008 holidays started with my having to purchase new tires for my car…  It was needed but at the same time I was hoping to avoid doing it until after the first of the year, but as the quote goes, “Life is what happens while you’re making other plans".”  So I accept the fact…

  • Work + Alcohol + Brain = Bad Dreams

    I’m surprised I woke up as early as I did this morning…  I was up and ready to go by 5:00 AM?  What the hell, 5:00 AM is not a time I need to worry about for at least another year.  Something must be wrong with me, besides the obvious things, here I am up…

  • Water

    I went swimming tonight at a friends place.  It’s the first time I’ve been in the water since I went to Hawaii with S.  I realized over the last few months I’ve been getting more and more uptight.  I couldn’t put my finger on it until tonight while I was swimming laps.  I’ve been missing…

  • Politics – Why?

    So I’m normally a person who votes their mind not a party. This year I was looking over my ballot and I discovered I was voting along a specific party line and not necessarily my mind. I had to take a step back and do some research on why I was voting along a specific…

  • The only debate on Intelligent Design that is worthy of its subject

    Moderator: We’re here today to debate the hot new topic, evolution versus Intelligent Des— (Scientist pulls out baseball bat.) Moderator: Hey, what are you doing? (Scientist breaks Intelligent Design advocate’s kneecap.) Intelligent Design advocate: YEAAARRRRGGGHHHH! YOU BROKE MY KNEECAP! Scientist: Perhaps it only appears that I broke your kneecap. Certainly, all the evidence points to…

  • Mushy in the middle

    In an effort to get in better shape and to combat the high gas prices I’ve recently decided to start riding to work.  It’s good exercise and it’s actually a nice ride.  The route takes me past some nice little sights, the Fremont bridge, some nice marinas (something I’ve taken a more active interest in…

  • The sickness within

    I’ve been home for the last three days, I only managed to get enough energy to venture out yesterday to pick up some more NyQuil and more juice, other then that I’m going slightly stir crazy.  I have some form of a virus that my nephew gave to me when we all met up at…
