As Maggie pointed out on her blog, I was one of the many who braved the crowds Friday night and got us both an iPhone. My friend Jim has a pretty good account of what we went through to get our phones. After a fairly quick activation, and after having my corporate discount removed, Maggie […]
I’ve now been in Atlanta since Monday for a Microsoft Certification Bootcamp to get a certification to help please my company. I’m going to continue to be here until Monday, and even though the company put us up in some nice accommodations, I’m still missing home a lot. The only thing that’s helping is that […]
Well, according to Time Out New York, my New York age is: My New York age is 33 This New York age puts you into a middle category between young and old (but not “middle age” per se). Be proud. You’ve got a nice balance between going out hard-core and staying in. You care about […]
Before I left on the cruise, I had one last test for the week in Calculus, and I knew I’d have grades to check either during the cruise or after it. I’m happy to report that I got a B in Calculus and an A in Financial Accounting. So 2 more classes down, so many […]
The week after the cruise ( the next day in fact ) I left for Durham, NC to attend a training program my employer runs there. The purpose of this training to have the attendees asses areas about their work and life that might be out of balance. The goals of the program is to […]
I saw a cool site today: Speed Demos Archive . It features movie recordings of people playing games from start to finish as fast as they can. I think my personal favorite is: Super Mario Bros. done in 5 minutes (using the world warps) and just under 20 minutes, playing all 32 levels. I played […]
Over the course of the past few weeks, I’ve been lucky enough to be taken along to entertain clients at a couple of Stars games. The seats were very, very nice. I went to the Minnesota game on February 6th and the Red Wings game on February 14th (yes, I have the best wife in […]
Ok, so maybe it’s not the day after like I talked about before, but here are the pics I took during the YoungStars/NHL Skills competition here in Dallas. Our seats were pretty awesome. One of the cool things was that for every team that has a mascot, they were there. I got shots of several […]
I saw this on Fark today and it made me laugh. Thought I would share.
This week, the NHL will hold it’s All-Star Game here in Dallas. I’ve been lucky enough to obtain a ticket to tomorrow night’s YoungStars/Skill Competition. It should be high scoring in the YoungStars game (average goals scored by winning team is 9.3) and I’ve always enjoyed the skills competition when I’ve watched it on TV. […]
Ah rabbits, should we think of them as cute and cuddly, or something very different: Thanks to Brian M for the YouTube link.
I found this little game today. It’s a test to see how fast you can type the alphabet. The clock starts when you hit the “A” key. My best time so far is around 7.1 6.1 5.5 4.3 4.2 4.0 seconds. I’ve read others in the sub-4 second range. I don’t believe the high scores […]
Well, here we are in 2007. Maggie and I kept it pretty low key. After putting Brenden to bed, we played a rematch game of Trivial Pursuit: Totaly 80s in which Maggie soundly defeated me ( I won the first game, so we’re tied 1-1 ). But I had the last laugh when I completely […]
As if to emphasize my previous post, Maggie and I ran across another interesting vending machine at DFW Airport on our way to NYC: (sorry for the blurry pic, it’s from my phone) That’s right, for all your emergency Sony product needs while traveling, there’s a Sony Kiosk at the airport. The items range from […]
I found an iPod Vending machine at my local mall recently: Yep, that’s right. You can buy any of the current iPods and several accessories right at this machine with your credit card. I was actually amazed it was in a hidden corner of the mall. I figured something like that would be put out […]
Maggie and I had a kinda odd moviegoing experience this weekend. We left the theater in pretty bad moods. And amazingly, it wasn’t about anyone that was in the theater watching the movie with us. It was all the theater and its staff. We saw “Happy Feet“, a cute kids comedy about a penguin that […]
Below is a video of Stephen Wiltshire, who has autism, drawing the city of Rome from memory after a 45 minute helicopter flight over the city. Oh, it was his first time to ever see it as well. All I can say is, I really, really wish we could figure out how to tap more […]
So I broke the streak yesterday since I didn’t blog. But I’ve definitely gotten the grove back. Today was a great celebration with family and friends. I’m so very thankful for my beautiful wife and son. They show me everything I need to be thankful for. Love you guys!
I can’t believe we’ve already been back from New York for a year. It just seems like yesterday we were packing up the apartment and heading out on the road to come back to Texas. Man how times flies. So here’s the next year back home amongst so many friends and our families. We really […]
You need to get up really early and your alarm clock doesn’t go off? That’s what happened to me this morning. I really needed to get up early so I could workout before work. The reason being I had a staff meeting at 11:30, leaving me no time in my day for a workout. Sadly, […]
