GMSV had an interesting blurb in their newsletter today:

"Two Columbia University scientists have developed an algorithm that can create detailed images from reflections on the surface of the eye. The algorithm, which works with high-resolution digital photographs as well as conventional film, is expected to reveal quite a bit of new information ( Read more... )

... Part 2 (the Ass-Kicking), completed. The ride back was not nearly the easy trip the ride to was. Pain. And lots of it. That basically describes our trip home ( Read more... )

...is on. The first leg was completed this morning, with a minor incident (Henry lost his chain halfway through). Took about 1/2 hour to get in using the Rose Bowl path ( Read more... )

What a busy weekend! On Saturday, we went and got my birthday present - a new bike. The Dreamer and I are going to start biking to work on a regular basis, in an effort to up our weekly exercise quotient. I'll be joining the ranks of Carter and Erich at work doing this. It's funny how little memes like this can sweep through a company. The ( Read more... )

So, yesterday was my birthday, and it was a happy one indeed. Both Henry and my parents sent me bouquets of flowers to my office. However, the company who delivered the one my parents ordered got the order incorrect, so they brought the real bouquet later. And didn't take back the first one.

Friday night Cameron's parents, Monica and Jim, hosted a "pre-wedding Fiesta" at Mi Casa in the city where the wedding was located, Breckenridge. The margaritas flowed like water, the dinner was *very* tasty, and the service was impeccable! It was a great ( Read more... )

Just taking a break from finishing up some work tonight. I've got a presentation to finish up and get out the door for review before our big Product Strategy meeting on Friday. With me leaving at 3:30 tomorrow to fly out to Denver, life until then is not going to be too fun.

I'm definitely looking forward to unstablehuman's wedding this weekend ( Read more... )

So, it was a good Independence Day. Carter held the BBQ over at his place (The Ultimate Party Pad) this year.

If my wedding this year wasn't enough, my family has come through once again to help me out in the best possible of ways.

I've been having trouble getting my condo in Denver sold. We put it on the market in February, and over the past few months have had it thoroughly cleaned and the carpet replaced to try to make it more attractive to a ( Read more... )
