I got up early this morning, early being around 7:30am or so. Since nobody else was up, I decided to head over to the pool to catch a few quick laps.
Later, Jason and I drove up to SIGGRAPH this morning. After trekking over to the convention center to pick up our credentials, we [...]

This morning I got up at the very reasonable time of 7:45am to try my luck at the neighborhood pool. I ended up getting over there around 8am and there was absolutely nobody there. I had the whole, albeit small, pool to myself. The laps went by quickly since the whole pool [...]

I took some cool videos of Bandi and Cosmo swimming in a wide spot in Seely Creek. They’re both in MPEG format, so should be viewable on just about any platform.

I’ve been at my parents’ place in California since Tuesday night. On Wednesday, I went for a run with my Mom and her friend Barb. It was longer than I’m used to (about 35 minutes of actual running compared to the 20 I normally do), but it was still enjoyable. Later that [...]

Fortunately, I’m heading out to sunny southern California for two weeks of dry warmth.
Today I had one of the best swim workouts in a long time. [...]

Photos from Maine are now up here with captions and tags.

I’m officially back from Maine for Jason and Sarah’s wedding now. It was a great time, but I’ll avoid going into excruciating detail since it’s late and I’m tired. Here’s the executive summary:

Wednesday: got up at 5:45am, swam in Bowman-Gray, left Chapel Hill just after 8am, in Durham realized I forgot my tie [...]

As described earlier, I bought a suit a couple of days ago. Not just any suit, but my first suit ever. Wow, I don’t feel any more mature.
Anyhow, the whole set can be seen here.
Tomorrow morning, I’m off to Maine [...]
