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 – [...]

Novembery November

It’s starting to feel a lot like November… Mark “The Minimalist” Bittman of the NY Times demonstrates the making of a pan-fried pizza. Pan-fried pizza! It looks sooo good… Seems quite interesting that the New York City Bar is putting out its statement in support of the Pakistani bar. Plus a rally to support the [...]

I watched the opening skit – Hilary Clinton’s Halloween – funny stuff; plus a real Barack Obama!!! Oh, yeah, and Brian Williams. I watched the opening monologue – funny; part of the skit where he’s a firefighter [...]

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. Elephant & Castle: Originally an English pub [...]
