Unfortunately, I didn’t make it to Orcas today. The card I use to get in ran out of punches and the new one I ordered last week hasn’t gotten here yet. Still, I swam at the Proclub for 45 minutes instead. It’s actually been a while since I’ve swum there and it [...]

I admit it’s been a while since I’ve blogged, but I was busy traveling all over creation (that’s the bay area) with Jason, Sarah and other assorted characters.
I flew into San Jose on Wednesday night and was greeted by Jason, Sarah and Jeff T at the airport. We promptly had dinner at a tasty [...]

Yesterday was of course another warm day (although not as hot as the past few I guess). At work, I got to see Steve Ballmer talk for about an hour at this event for interns and new hires. It was pretty sunny and hot out there, but it was still neat to see [...]

The heat wave continues in Seattle. My apartment has been like a furnace even with the windows open. I should really go invest in a fan or two I suppose. Today at work, I was actually freezing though. It wouldn’t surprise me if the A/C was cranked up because of the [...]

The photos (all 212 of them that came out) are up now here. A couple of highlights:

This weekend, I went to Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands with Outventures for a joint event with Cascade Flyers. We camped at the airport with the flyers. On Saturday, we ate several meals, went swimming at a nearby lake (refreshing alpine lake on the island with lots of eye candy around) [...]

Well now that Wednesday is over, I guess we’re over the workweek hump.
I got up this morning ready to face the day, but after cleaning the bathroom and finishing my breakfast of one banana while running out the door, my stomach started to feel kind of funny. I also felt a little woozy and [...]

This morning I spent way too much trying to get Parallels Desktop working. Apparently the wonky USB situation with the product is affecting my smart card reader (which i need for remote access to work). Everything installs and the reader shows up in Windows but then Windows claims the wrong driver is installed. [...]

My friend/coworker Shepherd wanted to go see the new ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movie the other week, but since it was opening night we decided it was probably best to wait a while. So we finally saw it tonight over at Pacific Place. It was entertaining and suspensful, but I think the first [...]

Today I went to Orcas for the first time in quite a while. Monday was a lot busier than the other days of the week I’d done before (Wed and Thurs), but also the coach had workouts taylored to each lane. I kept up fairly well once I got the hang of things, [...]
