While surfing to see what the upcoming Olympic Mascots are, all I can say, is Beijing Mascots rock!!!
This one is my personal fav, they have 5, one more each ring. Check them all out here.
Now, my least fav in a LONG time, please note, it’s from Atlanta.
EDITOne of the “action” logos is just too […]

Watching the closing ceremony, why is God’s name is an Italin band playing YMCA with LOTS of Italian’s dancing it out?
I’m not drunk enough for this!
Than followed by the national anthem of Greece!??!?!

Mood: confused

Having (finally) had some success with Twisted and Jabber, I am taking a moment to celebrate with a bottle of Harp. The NerdBooks.com party was pretty cool, though mellow. They have an insane selection of books — everything from animation to signal processing. As it turns out, they have insanely great prices […]

My head is full of drippy goo, and the wireless network keeps flaking out on me; this combination makes it really hard to focus on getting anything done. In Twisted terms, getting dog-ass sick was a Deferred, and I’m now living through the callback.
Joy.
Small victories today…

Got ahold of Paul McGuire during brief periods when […]

Thanks to the magic of wireless, I can announce (now quite belatedly, as I’ve been trying to pay attention to people’s presentations today) that we survived the Big Scary Presentation. Well, more than survived; it actually went really well, and folks were generous with their compliments. Warm fuzzies all around.

I […]

I’ll update this entry with some pictures once I manage to get something Bluetoothy going that can pull photos off of my phone…
We stopped in tonight to have a look at the ballroom where we’ll be presenting in the morning… and holy cow, are there a lot more chairs than I’d expected, which implies that […]

David and I did a dry run of our PyCon presentation for our tech folks here at AG a little bit ago. The response was solidly positive, and our timing is starting to gel really well, so I am upgrading myself to a level of optimistic anxiety from my earlier complete and abject terror. […]

I know, I have a rough life.
I’m picking out mixed drinks to play with for girls night. After changing my mind about 15 times, I think the theme is finally Champagne Cocktails and Champagne Martinis.
The worst part is I got a new cocktail recipe book. 500+ recipes, but only […]

It’s been a busy, busy week: one symphony, two wine dinners, the year’s massive traffic spike (thank you, Valentine’s Day), two celebratory drinking adventures with co-workers, and I survived a two-hour meeting with our CEO and the SVP that I fall under. Whew!
I got high praise from multiple levels of the chain of […]

So, I’ve suck with studying this week. Between wine dinners and the Olympics I haven’t been as good as I should be.
What’s been so interesting to me is how the US overall has not delivered on the medals that thought they were going to get. And it hasn’t been because of […]
