At the end of last year (December 2010) I set out to change a few things. The biggest one being to try and burn 10,000 calories a month through exercise. The first few months I kept track of my calorie expenditure base on a heart monitor, when my heart monitor met an untimely death I [...]
In my never ending attempt to punish my body and hate my knees I’ve been training to what I hope will amount to another full marathon this year. Along the way I figured it would be a good idea to give a half marathon another shot. If you’ve never been to Pittsburgh, I recommend you [...]
This week I received a text message from an “Unknown sender” and it read: “This is an automated message from Franklin Bank.Your ATM card has been suspended.To reactivate call urgent at 866-545-2647″ Being the curious little monkey that I am, I just had to call it.

So, my hotel in downtown Columbus used to be a bank. Here is a picture of where breakfast is served. The whole place is really nice and if you’re ever in Columbus, I highly recommend it. ~david
I was done with my last project and was only supposed to do remote support for a few weeks. However, some issues starting popping up and I was flown in to help smooth things out. We came in on Monday and by Wednesday things were really bad. However, the customer had discovered some bad hardware [...]
So, I was doing my weekly backup of my work laptop and noticed that I have close to 10 gig worth of stuff in My Documents folder. Looking a little closer, the breakdown is as follows. 2.0 gigs worth of email. 3.5 gigs worth of Cisco related documentation/training materials. 2.0 gigs worth of customer related [...]
One great thing about having a job which requires 100% travel is having the chance to take in the sights and sounds of the city that you’re in. This time, in Omaha, Ne, it was the 2008 College World Series. Unfortunately, Texas A&M didn’t make it and Rice was kicked out early, but overall it [...]
