Winter Jeeping
As usual it’s been forever since I’ve updated my site. I went to see all of those shows in the previous post and they were awesome. Especially Menomena and The Thermals. Say Anything was pretty sweet too. I finished a simple Android app that can be used at work. I don’t use it. I’m trying…

Tonight I started and almost finished the framework for my first Android app. 1. Edit my manifest to give me permissions to receive and read SMS. 2. Edit my manifest to point to a receiver class for SMS events. 3. Create a main class to stop and start the background Reader service. 4. I create…

Awesome Concerts: Who’s with me?
I’m pretty frickin excited about some upcoming shows. I haven’t yet bought tickets because I think I’m the only one that expresses any excitement. I’d prefer to drag someone along with me so here is my sell: Menomena – Thursday, October 7th @ 8PM @ Cat’s Cradle. Menomena is phenomenal. They thrive on an interesting…

Buffalo Visit – Tiffany and Don’s Wedding and other great friends.
This past weekend I went up to Buffalo for Don and Tiffany’s wedding. You can find some great pictures of the wedding here: I drove the Z up on Thursday to stop by and have dinner with my dad, and to go see Jaime. That’s an interesting story because I “met” her at my HS…

Home PC – diagnosed at least
Thanks to a very helpful Devon Kerr I now know what parts of my PC were causing my prior trouble. I was running a Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz LGA 775 in an Asus Striker Extreme mobo with 4GB of DDR2 800 RAM. I played around with every possible video card and ram combination (since I…

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…

Busy lately – Camping, Jeeping, Motorcycling, Partying
I haven’t posted in quite a while. That time has been filled with all sorts stuff. I’ve been riding my motorcycle around, going camping and Jeeping, Ward’s wedding, more motorcycling, and just hanging out with people around Raleigh and Chapel Hill. I guess I’ll start with links to albums in chronological order, just to document…

2010 Kawasaki Concours 14
I went down to Team Powersports in Smithfield on Saturday morning. Justin let me test ride the 09 demo model they had there. First, everyone in the shop seemed very cool. Second, this bike is big and heavy, but once you get on it that all disappears. It handled like a featherweight at slow city…
