Comcast question and options?
My new apartment in Capitol Hill only has Comcast to offer. I don't think I've heard anything good said about Comcast. However, it's a necessary evil if I want to get the programming I want as far as I can tell. I'm big on SpeedTV in HD (gotta have my Formula 1 racing (but at what cost?)) along with other shows like HGTV, Discovery, etc., and I ( Read more... ) -
Establishing roots in Washington
Yesterday was a rough day flying into Seattle. That leg from IAD to SEA was allmost 6 hours long. Add to that a chorus of screaming babies, having to take the middle seat and one of them was very fidgety. Back was not happy by the time we got into Seattle ( Read more... ) -
Move in progress (literally)
I'm finally chilling out a bit here at a WiFi hotspot at Barnes & Noble. I'm relying on my iPad now with no home network and trying to minimize the 3G charges ( Read more... ) -
Last day of work at UNC-CH
Today. Another surreal day. The entire day was just odd. Routine, but it did not feel normal ( Read more... ) -
iPad = <3
I did it. I caved and picked up a new iPad (16GB + 3G) this last Friday. Absolutely loving it. I was not in the market for one when it first came out, but then the new job came up and realizing there may be a few weeks with no computer while moving to Seattle next month. This was cheaper than a new laptop (old one belongs to work and gets ( Read more... ) -
It's video post challenge time
OK, it's back on. This challenge goes out to all of my LJ friends to post a simple one minute video clip of yourself to your own blog. YouTube makes it really easy to do and most of you have the technical means for this simple challenge. I had quite a few responses last year to this (maybe two years ago?) and I'm hoping for many more ( Read more... ) -
Videos from my hike earlier today
Here are the two videos from my hike up the Chirico trail at Tiger Mountain State park. It's been years since I posted anything to YouTube--they've improved quite a bit. One video is 1 minute long and the other is 1:45.

Great hike today, Chirico Trail
Woke up to another sunny and cloudless morning. I still find it weird that I see daylight at 0430--daylight is actually 16 hours long right now in Seattle this time of year. Had the windows open all night long to keep cool.
I finally settled on Chirico Trail at Tiger Mountain State Park. I had my Garmin Forerunner on for this and recorded and ( Read more... ) -
Sleeping, driving, shopping and getting lost in Seattle
It was definitely a lazy morning yesterday around the house. We finally ended up getting out and doing a little shopping for a change. Still cloudy out and cool and wondering when the sun was finally going to come out. Even though I have an REI store back home, it was good to visit the mothership version here in Seattle. Had a delicious lunch ( Read more... ) -
Long, long day in Seattle to kick off vacation
Plane ride was rather uneventful, so that was good. I ALWAYS underestimate how long it will take me to pack and ended up scrambling to get out the door to make the flight on time. Some confusion in ORD where there was a last minute gate change and confusing information on the flight display screens ( Read more... )
