New Apartment!
I’m almost done moving in…! My new place in is the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, close enough for me to be able to get to the markets and such that I like and far enough outside of the city to still be quiet. Now some of you may ask why it’s taken so long to…

New Place for me!
I’m moving this weekend and I’m already packed… The only thing I was worried about is a net connection and I solved that today, Clearwire. No phone, no cable and I still get to have high speed Internet. It’s not the fastest available but the price is good and the speed is good enough for…

Where am I again?
I think I’m at home, but it’s hard to be sure. I’m a little out of it as I just got back from Australia yesterday afternoon. But I’m pretty sure I’ll live, the time change has screwed my body clock up to no end and I’m sure it will take a few days to get…

4:00 AM and the train out of Sydney
I had to get up at 4:00 AM to catch my train this morning… I’ve never been a fan of early mornings, but for some reason 4:00 AM was pretty easy to do. Although I’m not very happy with the train trip this time, at least I don’t have to try and sleep on the…

Alice Springs…
Has the only airport I’ve been to in the world that has a proper bar and pool table. It makes the whole airport, which is pretty small, feel like a proper pub. I love it! Oh yeah and the only TV in the bar is set to a Russian news station.

Boat + Drink + Aussies = fun?
The question of the day is what happens when you mix 15 Aussies, 2 Americans and 1 Brit, in a situation with lots of alcohol, some boats and a bar-b-que? Something that almost resembles fun. In all seriousness, we had a great time with a bunch of folks we didn’t know before we drank with them. …
