Reading back through old entries is super-weird.

Ok, here's another of my million-dollar ideas. Ok, perhaps not a million dollars.

Here's a typical toggle bolt:

I've been working out a lot in the last year and training for nothing in particular - but now I have a goal! Mat emailed out about the Mass Dash relay race. From Mt Greylock to Boston Harbor, 200 miles. It'll be around 12 of us taking turns doing 6 mile legs of the run. The race is a fundraiser for Dana Farber and Jimmy Fund. I'll post more ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to get back into writing on here, and this seemed like a good a time as any. What's new since I last wrote?
I went to Yosemite on an epic backpacking trip

Amazing trip! I've never done anything quite like it. The whole experience was amazing.

Traveled to Israel and Egypt
More amazing. Not sure what I was expecting, but it was a ( Read more... )

I emailed Sony to ask about a refund for my PS3. They recently released an update that disables linux support (a feature that was advertised when I purchased it). Refusing to install the update removes your ability to go on the PlayStation Network as well as play new games and BluRay discs.

Our flight leaving from SJU was delayed by 45 minutes due to weather in Chicago (the plane was coming from Chicago to Philadelphia before coming to San Juan). We were concerned that we might miss our connection, so we talked with an agent in San Juan, who reserved seats for us on another flight the next day.

Last Monday I spent 3+ hours with Verizon Customer Service after their many attempts to activate my phone resulted in the ATT phone not working and the Verizon phone ALSO not working. I get up the next morning and try it again. Still no luck. I'm pretty sure I'll have to mail the phone back to Simplexity or whoever the company is. I'm worried about ( Read more... )

6 days after opening the box, and I still can't make or receive calls. Things were promising today when I was talking with the porting dept at verizon and they were able to make a call to me and receive a call from me. They also were able to disable my ATT phone. I made some calls that night even - I called up a couple of verizon stores, ironically ( Read more... )

I finally got a smart phone! This was a pretty big jump for me - I've been out of contract with ATT since 2006 and buying replacement phones on eBay. I jumped in and got the new Motorola Droid, $120 on sale through Overstock, with 2 year contract at Verizon. $70/month ($40 voice plan, $30 data). Pretty standard for PDA/Smartphones, same cost as the ( Read more... )
