Since my morning report, we've been all over town. Took the tube to Piccadilly Circus, and walked from there to Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery. We got to see an amazing amount of paintings from the 12th through the 19th centuries, by artists such as Renoir, Manet, Michaelangelo, Van Eyck and Van Gogh. After [...]
After my last post we walked up the street to the local pub, The Globe, for a pint. Afterwards we continued our walk up to the beautiful Regence Park for a bit, saw some herons and geese and swans (along with a lot of pigeons), and after about a half hour we walked down out [...]
Kelly and I have made it to London and are in our hotel. I found an open WiFi connection from my room (if I sit in the right place). We got up at 8am in Portland, finished packing and getting ready, and by noon we were on our way to Kelly's sisters house. We made [...]
Tomorrow we leave for London, to spend eight days sightseeing and pubcrawling! We spent the night packing and getting everything in order (including having our friend Miranda over to get keys so she can take care of our cat Guinness, and then taking her out to dinner as a thank you). I think we've got [...]
Today SuperSweetCo launched a new version of the fancy new web-based collaboration software. To celebrate, the team who make it go went out after work for food and drinks. We started off walking up to Jake's Grill, which is on the ground floor of the historic Governor Hotel. The happy hour menu at Jake's is [...]
This afternoon Kelly and I joined Mr. & Mrs. Ghost Dog to see Hot Fuzz. The movie was hilarious, and anyone who likes Shaun of the Dead will like Hot Fuzz. Both films were written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, and star Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. And both films do the same thing, [...]
What a week, and what a day.
The past week has been pretty crazy at work. SuperSweetCo is prepping a new version of the software that I worked on a few months back. The UI is changing a little bit, which means that there's quite a bit of work for me to do. I can only [...]
I've been busy the past several days. Work has been very stressful. I have a lot to get done prior to a new software release (coming in a couple weeks). On Wednesday I worked from home, and had an "Orkin Man" come over and look into the ant issue. To my great relief, we don't [...]
So something I didn't write about earlier like I should have, Kelly and I booked our flight to London late Sunday (yup, after I ate two full plates of meat, maybe that had something to do with my complicity?) We're leaving Saturday, April 28th, flying British Airways direct from Seattle to London, and will return [...]
To follow up on yesterday's post, we went to the Brown Derby with my family, and though I wasn't able to get the burger I wanted (they were only serving their champagne brunch) I did eat copious amounts of meat and potatoes. My mom informed me that I celebrated my first birthday at the Derby, [...]
