Calling Doctor Jones…?
Went to see the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones franchise yesterday, I use the term franchise simply because that’s what it has become. I laughed at the parts you should laugh at and at the end when the plot, that was so transparent it hurt, was reveled I said “holy shit they’ve jumped the…

Chicago
I just got back from Chicago, we had to attend a conference for people who are in our industry. It was surprising the kinds of things we discussed and how open we all were in sharing information. It’s not like we directly compete with each other, in fact we are all working towards keeping the…

Public Transit… How many ways can we fuck it up?
As a person who has traveled a fair bit I’m going to make mention of Melbourne Australia and it’s transit system, I even included a link. http://www.railpage.org.au/railmaps/melbourn.htm It’s a combination of light rail and street car, accidents are few and far between and ridership is huge. The system on a whole works much like a…

Sometimes I wish I could just fly away…
I don’t really know what to say. I had a “talk” with my boss today about how I was standoffish when she first met me, and how some of the people and vendors we have to work with don’t appreciate it. Something about how I seemed to look down on how they do things and…

Golf… How do I love / hate thee…
In the last seven days I’ve broken three clubs. Since coming home to Seattle I’ve broken four clubs. So far every time I’ve gone to the interbay golf course I’ve broken a club. Maybe it’s time to re-examine my golf hobby.

Wish I wrote this but I didn’t, just quoting
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1940’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s !! First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn’t get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, our baby cots…

Live to work… Work to live?
The jobs I’ve had in the past haven’t really prepared me for the politics involved with my new job. While I don’t mind the politics, I dislike that they get in the way of doing the real work. We have to be nice to this guy even though he’s a prick, don’t mind her she’s…

Bicyclists take note
You’re either a car or a pedestrian, figure your shit out and pick a place to ride. That goes for all of you out there who ride a bike. I know there are some of you who follow the rules and ride where you’re supposed to, but unfortunately there is a minority of cyclists out…
