California!!!

September 29th, 2007 | General

Yes it’s true.  I’m here in the Golden State until next Sunday starting just about 30 minutes ago.  While I’l be spending almost all of the time in Norcal, I’m sitting in the Long Beach airport terminal right now… so if you are here, you’ve got just about an hour to catch me!
I’m ready for [...]

Jersey Shore – Part 2 (The epic conclusion)

September 25th, 2007 | General

Shortly after being coated with a thick layer of blown sand, our party retreated from the beach to find some wind-blockage and warmth. We found neither at the restaurant we landed at. The place was spotted by a few of us on the drive into Sandy Hook, particularly for its terribly cheesy and [...]

Animal Justice

This is how it’s done in the animal kingdom. It’s worth the 8 minute watch and better than hearing more about Jersey!

Jersey Shore – Part 1

September 17th, 2007 | General

In an effort to squeeze out some fun in probably the last fairly warm weekend, Audrey and I made our way out to “the Jersey shore” on Saturday afternoon. You can’t call it the beach here… they get all weird about it. Sorta like when you say “hella” in SoCal. Anyway, my [...]

So this is Happy Hour

September 14th, 2007 | General

I’ve been to a fair share of happy hours in my 4 full years of legal drinking experience.  Of course, most of those have been in Southern California, which meant the idea of manning one of the Tacomas home was always in the back of my mind.  Happy Hour turned into more of a series [...]

Corporate BBQ

September 12th, 2007 | General

A few weeks ago my office took a Friday off to make a huge trek to Connecticut and the house of my company’s CTO. I have now realized that Connecticut is where corporate executives live in large homes and have large offices inside of these homes that allow them to work from home. [...]

Praise the Glory of the Slingbox

September 11th, 2007 | General

One of the big problems of being on the other side of the country for me is severe lack of interest in local sporting events. I do not care at all about the Yankees, Mets, Knicks, Giants or Jets. For me, I’ve always been supporting to hometown NorCal teams. But of course, [...]

Intern!

September 10th, 2007 | General

Today I learned that our company has been approached by a private high school to do some sort of internship program.  No one else really seemed interested in getting an intern, but I was stoked at the idea! So, I said I want one and now I’m getting a high school senior once a week [...]

I am not dead!

September 6th, 2007 | General

Despite non-existent rumors, I am in fact alive and well.  OK, maybe not quite well.  I have been pretty sick all week and since Ben is coming tonight, I’ll be officially ill tomorrow as well.  But alas! Lots of exciting and certainly blog-worthy topics are stored on the SD cards around my doublewide, so you [...]

This is going to be where the search and other helpful things go. Patience baldies!
