Quite the day

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Interesting day today. Beside some time spent doing typical work tasks early in the day, I had my review (which went really well), and the afternoon was spent doing filming & recording for a video demo of a new feature of SuperSweetCo’s flagship product. I was picked to do this work since I was responsible [...]

Just Hangin’ around

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Last night was kind of funny… funny in that “I’m, like, an old man now” way. My ‘plans’ to stay up irresponsibly late, with the stereo cranking out the heavy metal and dancing in my skivvies (what with having the house to myself and all) were ruined by a combination of a couple beers and [...]

How to be the perfect girlfriend

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Saw this video via Digg.com just now. Hilarious (and yet, oddly accurate).

Yup, still slacking off.

Happy Birthday Travis, & “all byyy myyseeellf”

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Happy birthday Travis! You’re 30 now. Not only a parent, but an old man too!*
Last night we drove out to the home town for dinner at my parents house. We arrived just in time to hear my brother shooting old hard drives with his semi-automatic assault rifle thing (I can’t remember what it [...]

Spamalot!

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

Saw Spamalot tonight, but first, a recap from my busy week: WORK. Yup, that’s pretty much all I did. I spent my time working on a new feature for SuperSweetCo’s flagship product. It was a lot of fun to create (from creating the mockups to the actual development) but it was really complex and demanded [...]

Nerds, Beers & Pubs

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

After a long and hectic work week (including some big news for SuperSweetCo), I had a day to myself.
Actually, it kind of started last night with my friend Miranda coming by to hang out, stopping me from working until the wee hours. She and Brian are in the process of buying a house just a [...]

Lincoln City for a night

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

Kelly and I spent last night at Lincoln City. Someone Kelly goes to school with (who’s spouse is part owner of what was described as a beach-front “Condominium Motel”) got us a sweet deal for a night, so we drove down after a filling late breakfast at Cup & Saucer (mmmm… breakfast burrito).
After a [...]

Recapiness

Friday, August 10th, 2007

Craziness, business, stressiness (yes, like Stephen Colbert coining truthiness, I hereby lay claim to stressiness)… that describes my week. After meeting my new nephew Hank (who is doing well) last week, Kelly and I have been busy. The work week was a crazed blur, with the first half of the week spent designing some new [...]

Meet Henry

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

Meet Henry, a.k.a. “Hank”, a.k.a. Bart. Henry was my grandfather’s name, though his nickname Hank was what virtually everyone in my home town knew him by. Bart (from the previous post) is my nickname for him, and though I’m not sure I’ll stick to it, it’s fun for now. Click on the photo to the [...]

You can call me uncle

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

Yup, as of sometime around noon today, my brother Travis is a father, and Chad and I are uncles. Congrats to Mr. (and Mrs.) T.
I think Kelly is coming to pick me up and I’m going to be headed out to the hospital way out in Hillsboro for a quick visit before I return to [...]
