Yesterday afternoon (about 3:30) the development team at SuperSweetCo were treated to a couple hours at Ground Kontrol (yes, on top of the dinner thing last night). Pretty fun, though I wasn’t fully in the mood to leave the office when we did, as I was getting work done and had a lot more to [...]

Today Kelly and I went to see Cloverfield. It was good, though be sure to bring motion-sickness pills. And maybe ibuprofen. I think I will enjoy watching it again on a smaller screen, but even with the constant shaking camera, it was a good movie.
Today I also watched this interesting History Channel show “Life After [...]

Tonight Kelly and I decided to go out for dinner. We’d looked up a bunch of restaurants near our house, thinking we were going to try Amalfi’s finally, but as we drove by the Alameda Brewhouse (site seems to be down at the moment) and noticed how pleasantly empty it looked we decided to stop [...]

My, where to start? Oh, I know! I got my first ever speeding ticket last Sunday. Kelly and I were on our way to my folks place for dinner and were running late. I was zooming down the highway, not really paying much attention, when I look in the rearview and see a large, manly-looking [...]

Today is Kennedy School’s annual J.R.R. Tolkien Birthday Celebration, and I met my friend Snooks in the Cypress Room bar around noon so we could sit with our laptops, sip on beer, and do some work. I managed to get a few hours in before a combination of low battery power and low brain power [...]

It’s been a crazy busy week, so I haven’t really been able to write. I’m having a relaxing night at home while Kelly is at class. Last night I went out to Moon & Sixpence with my brother T, and later were joined by a coworker (who was celebrating his birthday) and his wife. I [...]

I spent my day today working (yes, Saturday). It all started when I woke up at 8:30, sat down at the computer with my coffee and thought “maybe I’ll get a couple hours of work in”, and it ended up a full 8 hour day… I kind of got ‘in the zone‘. The reason I [...]

Yesterday early afternoon Kelly picked me up from my work so I could driver her to the airport. After dropping her her off, I got halfway home before noticing her phone sitting on the passenger seat. Drats! So I turn around and speed back to the airport, park, rush in and find a paging phone. [...]

One of my cousins(-in-law) got me one of the most awesome gifts a beer lover could get, ever… a few months subscription to the Beer of the Month Club (more specifically the Microbrew Beer of the Month Club). Today my first shipment arrived (!!). I received 12 bottles, four different styles, two each from two [...]
