Here’s the rundown:

Bagel egg sandwich for breakfast from one of the 45 delis within sight of the hotel More conference! Met someone who knew about Lulu! Walked over to Central Park Taxi to the airport Went home

So, I’m in NYC for the Search Engine Strategies conference, and we (myself and co-workers) took the oppurtunity afforded us by our early flight to do some touristy stuff. The first thing we did was hit the MOMA (it was only two blocks from our hotel) to see all the famous pretty pictures. Afterwards we […]

Love in the time of TiVo:

Mitch, a 23-year-old tech consultant whose favorites were “Lost,” “West Wing” and “Natalie Portman,” was desperately silly to find at least one of the women on his list by the end of the night. After winning a free TiVo box and lifetime service in a raffle, he yelled […]

Hey Triangle bloggers, Anton Zuiker is planning a local blogger party for next month!

Well what do you know, my friend (and former roommate) Bill Woessner has just started a blog called Out of the Box Politics. His first post is on a topic near and dear to my heart — taxes.

In recent days I’ve found myself feeling stupid with alarming frequency. I’ve been asking questions I should have known the answers to, gotten frustrated by problems with simple solutions, and generally felt foolish on too many occasions. On one occasion I discovered that downloading a directory with about 5000 small text files (most around 4k […]

My new toy — I finally admitted that I needed a road bike when Erica kicked my ass on every hill during our last ride together.

I rode a closeout 2004 Cannondale T800, the Trek 1000, the Allez Sport, and the Allez Elite. I was also interested in the Felt F80 but didn’t get a chance […]

We went out to Lake Crabtree County Park and did a practice swim for the Triangle Triathlon next month. To my surprise I swam the 1/2 mile course in 13:20 and 14:20 (we did the course twice). I was expecting about 15:00 to 16:00 so I’m really psyched that I might actually be able to […]

In an interesting twist of fate, the JCDL conference has been (or will be) hosted in the three cities (or at least right next to them) that I’ve lived in since my family left California when I was 5. Tucson (ages 5-15). Denver (Boulder, ages 15-24). Chapel Hill (Durham, age 24-present).

I think it’s a testament to how much I miss living in the west and in Colorado in particular that everytime someone I know travels there, I get all excited and grill them on where they spent their time, where they ate, even where they drove. I like living in North Carolina and Durham, I […]

Ack. I’m supposed to working on my Management project, several NeoRef projects, a Knowledge Management project, my master’s paper, or getting caught up on email. Instead I feel like ass, am wasting time reading Bloglines, playing with wists and thinking of going to bed early.

I can see my house! Actually, that’s not quite right.

E-filing your federal taxes just got a lot harder

Got together with friends to watch the Duke/NCSU/UNC games

Gray gets old after a while

Just checking in

All my stuff is falling apart

In order to prepare ourselves mentally and physically for the new school year (and to decompress after the wedding), Erica and I secluded ourselves for five days at Napili Kai on Maui for rest and relaxation.

What I’ve been up to, July 2004
