  • Celebrity Crush – Mary Steenburgen

    Just finished watching the latest 30 Rock. The Valentines Day episode. I have a new celebrity crush.. this one is a bit different because usually they’re a bit younger. After seeing her in 30 Rock and Stepbrothers though.. /shrug I guess my love of cute brunettes knows no bounds. Mary Steenburgen

  • New Years Snowboarding in Vail, CO

    I spent my Mandatory PTO / New Years in Vail, Colorado. I really wish the snow could have been better – but the front side of the mountain was open and it was an awesome time! The place is huge. I went with Pete, Kenneth, Paul Harvin, Pete’s friend Brandon, and Kenneth’s brother Jeff and…

  • New Job and Thanksgiving

    Things have been busy with work. I spent some time in Atlanta and some time in Maryland. After that I’ve just been reviewing documents, making recommendations, and being involved in conference calls. Soon this will translate into actual software configuration and upgrade work after the conference calls are over. I took a trip to Florida…

  • Coffee and blog posts

    I’ve taken to making myself breakfast and coffee on the weekends. Turning into an adult is actually pretty awesome (even if it took me a LONG time to start the process). When I was a kid everyone was like “you’ll have to work so much” and “you’ll have bills to pay!” Now that I’m actually…

  • Raleigh Apartment and Esther’s House Warming

    It’s been a month since my last update. That sounds about right to me. The first big change is that I moved to downtown Raleigh. I’m in an apartment building called “Hue,” which is pretty nice. The view is awesome. My Jeep and the FZ6 are living at Pete’s house, along with power tools and…

  • Snow Boarding and Mardi Gras Motorcycling

    I’ve been extremely busy being eXtreme lately. Here are some pictures of a snow board trip I took to Tahoe with Brendan, Kurt, Lauren, and Marcy. I also rode 1000 miles from Raleigh, NC to New Orleans, LA and back. I tried to get my Iron Butt certification (1000 documented miles in < 24 hours)…

  • Camera Updates: October – January

    I got back from my Jeeping and Biltmore escapades with Heather and emptied out my camera. Here’s the result. Back in October I went to Matt and Candra’s wedding. I wore a kippah (yarmulka) and did a reading. I bumbled a bit of the reading, but didn’t do so bad for never having seen the…

  • Random thoughts and confusion

    My home PC died. I could fix it but just don’t care enough. I’m posting from my phone now. I’m addicted to the computer anyway. Maybe a few weeks off will help. Maybe I’ll just be addicted to my phone instead. When I think of girls that catch my interest I think of Say Anything…

  • A Midsummer Night’s Blog Post

    I’ve been ridiculously busy since my last blog post. I’m starting to keep track of things by having my picture folders include the full date in the folder name. Otherwise I’d have no way to remember what order things came in. In chronological, photographical order here is what I’ve been up to: Marcy came down…

  • CCIE renewed + Beach

    I passed my CCIE Voice recertification. It wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be. I did pretty well and spent more time stressing about it that I should have. It’ll be nice to get the recert money. Brendan invited me down to the beach. I have pictures here: Now back to work after…
