  • CCIE Voice Written Recertification – Passed

    I passed my CCIE Voice Written last Friday. My CCIE is now recertified. There was some new material I hadn’t seen before, but I still managed to squeak by with an 827/1000. Passing was 790/1000. To celebrate I went to the beach (Emerald Isle) with Kenneth and friends. We had a pretty amazing time, although…

  • CCIE Voice Written Studying + Bayside

    I’ve been studying like crazy lately. The CCIE Voice Written has become more difficult since the last time I attempted to pass it for recertification. Every two years I have to pass the multiple choice part to keep the certification active. I’m at a bit of a disadvantage because I’ve heard a lot of the…

  • Draw Something

    Thanks to my friend Shawn I discovered the awesome game Draw Something. Come play! You can find me through the Facebook integration.

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • PS3 – Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time

    After a night out for Drinksgiving, I wound up at Brendan’s house because I was unable to drive home. Woo for passing out on a futon. In the morning I woke up and realized that video games are awesome. I tooled around on Brendan’s PS3 hooked up to a big ass HD TV and had…

  • Handgun Concealed Carry Permit

    I’m taking the class for the NC Concealed Carry Permit. I’m thinking of a 9mm CZ P-07 Duty. Marv says he loves his, and it’s pretty light. Anyway, the instructor for this class is pretty awesome.  Here is a typical exchange between student and instructor. Student: So the Habitation Defense says  once he crosses your…
