Braindump

Been a little while since the last post, so here’s the rundown.

Bryan and I went up to shoot Oak Creek in Sedona last Saturday. While the weather report claimed it would be cloudy, there were almost no clouds to be seen. It was a beautiful day, and there were tons of tourists.

Relentless Arithmetic

Good paper on money management and the market

Sick and Twisted

So, this morning I went to see a doctor concerning a weird pain I’ve been having in my shoulder. Doctor seems to think that I’ve angered a nerve in some odd way. I thought I had a strained or torn muscle given the nature of the pain, but she said that because there

Money Quest

Some of you have been noticing a much more serious approach to money from me recently. It’s part of my “Prepare to be 50″ plan. Being 30, I’ve realized that I’m going to be 50 before I know it, and I don’t want to be in a bad place financially or health wise

If you’re seeing this post, the DNS has propagated and this page is being served from Textdrive. Huzzah!

The whole process of setting up the domains is sort of a pain in the ass, so it might take a little longer than I thought, but I’m going to try and get everything over tonight.

Qwest has Failed Me

Qwest was out here for the last time today. Turns out that at the phone room, there’s nothing more than 608k/sec available for the upstream, even at the server room. We checked speeds out at the box, and it was at 1228 down and 512 up. On either pair into the condo,

I’m a moderator

Well, in a few short hours, I will have moderated four focus groups for some of our internal people. Two more to go next week. I was telling Kelli last night that it has been almost two months of arranging and conducting research across the country with our customers and in most of
