Viva Mas Vegas
I’m waiting here at LaGuardia Airport at 5 in the morning, waiting for my flight to Las Vegas. P- just touched down about an hour ago in Los Angeles with a crucial transplant shipment, and then is going to make the 4 hour drive to be reunited with me sometime tonight. I’m here for a [...]

Veterans’ Day Observed
Take a moment to think about the veterans (hoped you did it yesterday, on actual Veterans’ Day, too). This week: Downtown for Dinner 2007 – $25 to $35 prixe fixe at participating downtown restaurants. Reading: Time Magazine, with an interesting article on green roofs. I had read about it in an ABA publication too – [...]

Mainstream people aren’t doing so hot; the lawyers are protesting and getting punished for it.

Precious time — sleeping
Tired last night…. came back from the IPMF2007 workshop in Taipei and crashed in bed. Didn’t even bother to eat dinner. Woke up briefly to say hi to B- and take a bio break but that’s it. Now back to the IPMF Conference for some more project management learning and PDU capturing. Was a rough [...]

November Begins!
It is November, and I have now entered National Novel Writing Month, where the goal is to write the first draft of a 50000 word novel by the end of the month. Man, is that nuts – in a month where I supposedly have other things to do. But, it’s a challenge, and I think [...]

Seattle recap
This is a food recap for my trip last week to Seattle for a tech conference. Many of the sessions were very long-term career oriented, reflecting upon the fact that many that started in the 70′s PC era are now on their way to retirement. Food for thought.
