Singapore, January 12, 1991. I was in the military and we were about to make our way into the Persian Gulf for the Desert Storm...the whole friggin U.S. military was actually waiting for us. The higher ups were worried about air cover for special forces already in Iraq and we had the best tech for doing that. Problem was they put that tech on a ( Read more... )

A few weeks back one of my bosses and I were talking and we decided to create a little CYA spreadsheet for ourselves (when I say we, it means I will be creating this spreadsheet) that lists the attachments from this one 400 page production that we produced. No big deal, I figured during some of the down time I can put some basic information ( Read more... )

I used to live next to the damn thing - hated it then. All the people thinking it's ok to park in front of our drive (Although, the moronic Oscar crowd was far far far worse). Now that I've lived away from the place for about 5 years now, I still really don't like the venue. Granted, it's fucking with my Tuesday night soccer and volleyball so it's ( Read more... )

Somehow one of my external hard drives has been wiped - since I'm white I shall blame the cleaning lady. This was the one I used last time I did a big music/movie data transfer with friends. A full terabyte - GONE! Must get a hold of Keith to see when he and the rest of the Myspace crew will have another data transfer party - hmmm, or more likely ( Read more... )

LAst weekend I went up to Santa Cruz to hang out with some old SD friends. Nannette turned 40! We're all getting old. It's actually kind of nice. My friend Monica and I still dominated the 2 person beach volleyball tournament that was happening on Saturday - we made it all the way to the semi-finals. Pretty good seeing that everyone else in the ( Read more... )

The next couple of weekends will be filled with road trips and activity for me - and it couldn't have happened sooner! Soccer and volleyball during the winter was just not cutting it for killing the stir crazies ( Read more... )

Been following the whole new settlement shenanigans in Jerusalem this past week - what with Netenyahooooooo doing as much as he can to sabotage any chance for talks - and wonder what the middle east region would be like today if the west backed the Arab side all these years instead of the Israeli side. Alternative history is purely subjective, but ( Read more... )

Lately I've really been in the mood to hop in the car and just drive for a few days. Bust out of Los Angeles and spend some time in the boonies. It must have been the trip out to Nevada with my brother that triggered the mood. The desert this time of year is sunny, yet cool...clear air (although because of the rain LA is pretty darn clear right now ( Read more... )

Well, it's a new decade so it must be time to finally buy a new pair of shoes. Mine are a looking pretty ratty . Lucky for me I live in southern California where nothing is truly formal...no matter how whiny some 'hosts' tend to get. But now, there's holes in the bottom of my boots...those I can have fixed. My work shoes are so lopsided that I keep ( Read more... )
