Sorry if I haven’t posted lately, at least I’ve been more consistent than my favorite fictional burnout from The Onion, Jim Anchower, who is probably ending his 16-year run in prison. I on the other hand have been more fortunate. … Continue reading →

It started out as an experiment/training exercise after I learned that Mac OS X Server 10.4 had a built-in weblog solution. Although blojsom (I think this was its name) wasn’t very elegant, the software became an effective successor to my … Continue reading →

The Summer of 1982 officially concludes this upcoming Friday with TRON. I do plan to watch the original theatrical cut of Blade Runner at home via Blu-Ray, then take in The Wall and Fast Times at Ridgemont High later, the … Continue reading →

The Radman of Phoenix celebrates what I think would be number 42. Hey he’s now the Doug Adams answer to everything for the next year. Drop him a line if you know him. I need to get a late card … Continue reading →

The former has the day off so I’m sure he’s celebrating at home with his lovely wife and cool kid. The latter is living it up in Belgium with his neat-o sister. I sure hope Mark M gets to sample … Continue reading →

It does seem that my site is slowly evolving into a running journal but I’ve been hitting all these landmarks recently. Yesterday’s involved mileage or distance. Last year, I was cruising along decently, getting closer to Jose’s house, aka destination … Continue reading →

Mondays are always hard but Jose made my day by sharing his personal good news, then topped it off with his announcement to be in Austin during my birthday weekend! Last year, his in-laws canceled our plans. This year he … Continue reading →

Here’s the big shock, it’s raining in Austin for a change. I can hear the thunder and we experienced some sprinkling on the way in. I have another question/peeve too. Why is our calendar all set up this way? Shouldn’t … Continue reading →

Today I virtually passed through Clovis, New Mexico. I readily admit the gap between this destination and Ft. Stockton was much smaller than say my first target (Jose’s first Dallas abode at 208). I just have to go with what … Continue reading →

I am now entering unexplored territory for my adult running career…three miles! This may not be unprecedented because I was in track during my freshman year in high school, a sport not requiring much skill. Those days didn’t involve me running … Continue reading →

Last year I achieved this running milestone by July and shortly afterwards my treadmill’s motor crapped out. This year I’m ahead by 20 percent of where I was by the end of June 2011. If I maintain my dedication, I … Continue reading →

I used to wear a Bugs Bunny-based watch on my left wrist from 1996 until the two I owned broke several years ago. Getting the talking one repaired requires numerous annoying hoops to jump through with Armitron; I’ll get to … Continue reading →

The short version: really well and I will apply the next opening to be a Technical Account Manager (TAM) should one appear. The longer version: It was a great experience. I had a decent idea what a TAM did but … Continue reading →

Our annual vacation together almost slipped through because of other obligations (namely house/catsitting), work (Somara’s on a project, I’m trying for at least two promotions), Summer movies and whatever. We finally put plans into action which required some karma, aka begging … Continue reading →

A happy day to my Chicago-based niece! I think she gets to celebrate twice, obviously her birthday with a some kind of party/dinner (something) to acknowledge being in the double digits. The other would be school letting out, I think … Continue reading →
