Been an interesting December. A tornado around 0400 on the 10th made off with my ham antenna and two car covers and left my neighbor's carport on my roof (and trees down everywhere). Then a tornado on the 21st took out my HVAC unit. Last night another tornado made off with my garbage bin, tore apart one of the car covers I recovered from the ( Read more... )

Saw a couple movies lately.

Skyfall I saw in IMAX, which was worth it. There are a few minor faults in the film, but overall it is an excellent movie with great cinematography and some amazing performances by both Daniel Craig and Judi Dench. There are a few minor faults, but some of it is just nitpicking. Go see it in the theatre while you ( Read more... )

I went down to Texas to visit a good friend on Columbus Day weekend, mostly around the Ft. Hood area. Drove down one day to visit Austin, my fisrt time hanging out in that city. I really liked it there and hope to go back and try out a lot more of the restaurants and music venues. I watched the bats come out of the bridge at sunset too, which ( Read more... )

Been a while since I last updated. I went to California for work and scheduled some extra time to visit friends. Drove down to L.A., met some close friends and saw a couple movies and ate some great food. Headed back to Silicon Valley and spent a week there working. Got a call that one of my best friends had passed away and I had missed the ( Read more... )

I'm boarding a flight for California and will be in the Santa Clara/SF Bay area for two weeks. Anyone want to meet up for food?

Been a stressful week with a lot of last-minute problems piling on, but I got most of them sorted by yesterday evening. After work today I'm driving up to FCN in Detroit (well, Novi anyway) and will be DJing there tomorrow night. FCN has usually been pretty relaxing for me most years, and I'm looking for a break from everyday right now.

I worked through lunch and got out of work an hour early on Thursday, then threw the bags and gear into the car and made a run for FWA, arriving around 2130 hours. Met up with the AV crew and set things up for the Thursday night dance, where I was scheduled to play at 0030 hours. The crowd cleared out during the DJ before me, but I think my set ( Read more... )

Last weekend I went down to Elliott's Winter Carnival in Orlando, FL. I go to as many of the Elliott's events as I can, and they just keep getting bigger and better. The party pavilion is coming along nicely, now with a wooden dance floor, tile in the hallways, and carpet in the headless lounge. Lunch and dinner were very tasty and plentiful; I ( Read more... )

I'll be DJing and partying down at (A HREF="http://ewc.elliottsliveevents.org">Elliott's Winter Carnival this weekend. It's always an awesome time down there: food, games, music, and just partying and hanging out with friends. Plus it's in Florida so it'll be a good break from all ( Read more... )

I'll be in California (mostly northern) touring wine country and visiting friends for the next couple weeks.

Is there anyone that can give me a ride to the airport tomorrow morning so I don't have to leave my car in long-term parking?
