Monthly Post

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

I promised myself I would blog more often and on technical subjects. Lately, I've been hacking on some cool networking stuff at work and hacking on my house in my spare time (finally finalizing my basement!) and traveling. So, I haven't done anything super-exciting tech-wise that I feel comfortable blogging ...

Detroit and Cleveland

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Before I start on this, I find it at least a little funny that I haven't yet blogged on my trip to Ireland. I hope I get to that soon. I like to travel. Unfortunately, a side of my personality -- the frugal side (both with cash and paid-time-off) -- seems ...

House

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

I feel like I've been juggling a dozen balls all at once for the last few weeks. Finally, I have something to show for it! Firstly, I'm finally (with Myles and Kim!) making the trip to Ireland I've wanted to take for the last few years. The dates are firm, the ...

A Tale of Two Saturdays

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

The longest Saturday I can remember just came to a close. It all started with the 0738 beep of my alarm to rouse me from a very restful sleep. By 0810, I was showered, dressed, and driving to breakfast. 0830 - Breakfast at McCoy's with Myles, Kim, David, and Shane. I ...

The Plan

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Did you know that Colorado has the lowest obesity rate of any state in the nation, hovering around 18-19%? It's easy to see why. I, for one, became much more active in the months and now year since moving here from California. I've been riding my bike to work most days ...

New versus Old

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

In what may be curious symbolism of the trip; I recently had the pleasure of flying from LAX to DEN (by way of LAS) and was utterly shocked by the stark difference between Los Angeles's older airport and Denver's nearly new (mid-90's) one. The first thing that struck me was the ...

Return Redux

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

Whew. After a bit of travel stress, I've made it back home to Fort Collins. The snow is lovely. I scored a sweet seat on a United Airbus A319; row 6, window seat, behind a bulkhead separating the First Class and Economy Cabins. I really enjoyed having the little extra legroom ...

Party Travel

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

With many thanks to Pelco, I'm happy to say that I am once again enjoying the hospitality of my home state of California. I've been back for about a week now, having spent the first part of my trip in the Fresno area with my friends Myles, Kim, and David. The ...

Travel Redux

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Back from my last (latest and final) "trip" to Fort Collins. Since July 16th, I've traveled to Fort Collins on 3 separate occasions, each trip precisely 2 weeks after the previous. With my trip out in April, that makes 4 times this year. I've had a blast each time. I can't ...

Feelin’ Chilly?

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Saw this delightful sign today at Denver International. Who knew there were flights to the great icy south -- from Denver? Interestingly, this terminal had no passengers-in-waiting, nor a gate agent. One suspects that this is not a very popular route... :-)
