My one good deed for the day done. :-)

It has been a long while since I’ve had any time to breath. While I enjoy the non-stop days and nights of working all day and rocking all night… well rocking perhaps not, but sleeping yes, it is nice to just take a break. A break where you can just sit, relax, and exhale. This past week my currently project reached a major milestone. Even though we had multi-week delays, we were still able to come through and deliver. At the end of the day, when under the gun, we all realize that sleep is over rated and not really necessary. Now that this date is behind us, we can all go back and ensure everything is configured correctly and ready for production, which comes around in March of 2009. Here are some pics from my last week.

The answer is 7.

I want this sheep!

No relations.

One of my favorite authors passed away recently. I’ve been so consumed by work that I had not even realized it. He was a great author and I absolutely loved his books.

1. Andromeda Strain
2. Jurrasic Park

Two of my favorite all time books. I will have to check out his other stuff now that he has passed away.

In case you didn’t know earlier this week (Monday) Best Buy got Sprint’s new PDA phone, the HTC Touch Pro. Then around Friday, all Sprint stores got them. I’ve played with it a little and love how responsive it is compared to the Mogul. However, I will still need to play some more with it, before making the decision to upgrade or not. Since I’m no longer under a contract, I’m hoping to get a good deal on it.

Edit:
So, talking to a friend, I’ve realized that I missed one year when doing my calculations, my site has been in operation for 6 years. :-)

Original Post:

Wow. I was doing some maintenance on my site (see previous story) and noticed that my first entry was in Oct 13 of 2003. Yes, six years ago! I really can’t believe I’ve kept up with it this long. So, here’s to another 5 years. By the way, this was my very first posting.

13 Oct

So things are starting pretty slow, expect very little until my life slows down some, or I miraculously discover that I can slow down time, or travel back in time…

Perhaps you will be waiting for a while in order for this site to be any where near completion.

Five years later and life has not slowed down and I have not figured out how to travel back in time. :(

I need to come up with an easier way to update WP, although it only take 10 minutes, it really could be streamlined.

This song is amazing. The duet between Martha Wainwright and the lead singer from Snow Patrol is great. My favorite part is the first verse specially if you’ve ever had a long distance relationship and you long for that loved one.

I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from ‘A’ to where you’d be
It’s only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I’d find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I’ve found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

I’m miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so far
We’d set the fire to the third bar
We’d share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can’t keep in

I’m miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

I’m miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

So, it seems that when recording his latest albums, Ben Folds, decided to record a second album with the same song titles, but fake songs and leak that on the p2p networks. While this does seem a bit funny, it really doesn’t have much point. Either way, it was interesting to hear some of the fake and real songs played right next to each other. All in all, Ben had a lot of energy and the concert had a pretty good vibe. Missy Higgins opened for him and she had a great voice and some good tunes… reminded me a bit of Fiona Apple.

Some pics from the show.

I can’t believe it’s been close to a month since I last posted anything on my website. My new project is really kicking my butt, but I’m learning a ton and it will be a multi-million dollar solutions once everything is said and done. Regardless, it is not all work and no fun in Columbus, OH. This past week, Death Cab for Cutie, strolled into town and rocked hard. This was by far better than the DFW show I had seen a few months ago. The sound was so much better and the venue was so much cozier. A great show.

We had a great view, but my camera didn’t do any justice to the band.
