Things You Won't Learn on My LinkedIn Profile

Shaping up with FitBit

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.
Bike Week - No Pictures
I'm sick of taking pictures. I dislike carrying a camera everywhere I go. I went down to Daytona Beach this past weekend to check out all the awesomeness that was Bike Week. I must say it was a good time. A few weeks back I asked my buddy
