The vacation is over!

A week in Florida and no updates thanks to a forgotten power cable for the iBook. Photos will start going up soon (1200 plus to sort through) and more text as well. Vacation I miss you already.

DCon survived sucessfully

DragonCon 2008 has come and gone. Best of the past several years, had a blast, saw panels, people watched, drank some, and laughed way to much (is that possible?).It was a wonderful little geek/nerd vacation and I'm actually looking forward to doing it again next year. I might try to go into more detail later but right now I need a little sleep. Check out the pictures and look around Flickr for even more.

Just a good day.

I was feeling good about the day and thought what a novel thing to blog about, no insightful thoughts, no gripes or grievances, no epiphanies, just simply a satisfying day. Have you had one of those days lately? Nothing too hard nothing too easy, just right. Learned a couple of things (and probably forgot a couple) made a couple steps forward without falling back any, I guess this is what Goldilocks found...does that mean there a couple pissed off bears waiting for me around the next corner? Oh well it might just be worth it, if I see Goldy I'll make sure and ask.

Social?

I was just thinking, I belong to a fair number of "social" networking sites, and they all seem to involve me sitting alone in my house typing on a keyboard. Doesn't seem very social does it?

New Day Rising

It is my favorite Hüsker Dü album, but it's also what's happening, that's all I'll say for right now.

Independent soon!

The 4th is upon us again folks, cookouts, a long weekend, fireworks, and all the trimmings. I can't wait! Had dinner and drinks this evening with friends in celebration of a birthday, I'll keep the names and ages out to protect the innocent. Camping again soon, and this time a little more rustic, I can barely contain the joy!

Why don't yards mow themselves?

I really wish they did, I tell you that for nothing. I have more important things to waste my time and money with, like, well, I'm sure I can come up with lots of things I could be doing, later. I mean like ridicules posts on my blog, daydreaming about better jobs and places to live. Any number of possibilities jump to mind. I just saw my house on Google Street View, I think my yard was mowed then. The sun was just coming up, my old car was in the drive way, rest it's soul, and my house didn't look too terribly bad. A little bland but not bad.
