Not going to give details, just going to provide a link to a webcast. Just sayin, big day. More to come tomorrow.

The Bachelor is nothing more than a crowd pleaser

Posted on 16. Feb, 2010 by in Television

Ugh. ABC’s The Bachelor. I have to admit… I’ve been drawn in. After weeks of resisting it, I’ve succumbed to one of the greatest traps a young professional will ever be faced with: the love of reality TV. Lock up your children, this isn’t going to be good for anyone. I’ve started to assemble a [...]

Chemistry

With it being Valentine’s Day and all, it only seemed fitting to post on a romantic topic. I want to caveat this entire post by saying that my Valentine’s Day consisted of eating my feelings at The Parlor with church friends. In case you couldn’t tell, I’m hardly Dr. Love. That said, I have been [...]

My Thoughts on the iPad

Posted on 31. Jan, 2010 by in Geeking Out

It was only a matter of time before I started using this blog as a forum by which to expose and exploit my inner nerd. So with profuse apologies and without further adieu, a few thoughts on Apple’s most recent unveiling – the iPad. In short, I’m not sure I get it. I was following [...]

Ten Years in Ten Days: The Year 2003

Posted on 24. Jan, 2010 by in Memory Lane

It’s really interesting how time can make something that was really serious into something really funny. It was 2003 – my junior year of college. Starting a week before all the other students, the resident advisers (aka the cool kids, right?) would assemble on campus to participate in a number of training and bonding activities. [...]

Feeling Bold in Orchid

Posted on 19. Jan, 2010 by in Life at Microsoft

It’s Monday. And Mondays are usually an interuption to my regularly scheduled train of weekends. By Monday morning, enough time has passed that I can’t remember what items were still open from Friday (or lately, Saturday) – and I’ve found that I’m rapidly moving toward a 2 coffee minimum just to get in the door. So when [...]

Huminatarian Parole

Posted on 18. Jan, 2010 by in Humanity

In the wake of all of the despair in Haiti, I found out today about an initiative that could bring a lot of hope to an otherwise extradordinarily bleak situation. At any given time, there’s a lot of adoptions pending between American families and adoption agencies in third world countries. Right now about 1000 kids [...]

Last night I hosted my lifegroup Strings & Friends for some dinner. It was great seeing everyone, and it was our first time back together in the New Year. This lifegroup sesh came with Hybrid Synergy Drive, as we brought in some new friends to join. Here are some highlights in photos. Carrie addresses Keira [...]

Ten Years in Ten Days: The Year 2002

Posted on 16. Jan, 2010 by in Memory Lane

There’s a guy sitting 2 tables away from me at the coffee shop. He’s having a conversation with what seems like an interviewer. Guy A is talking loud enough that I know a couple things: a.) he’s a college senior about to graduate in the spring, b.) he considers himself a designer, but goes to [...]

Back from CES 2010

Posted on 10. Jan, 2010 by in Tradeshows

This past week I was in Las Vegas for CES 2010. The interesting thing about Vegas is that you instantly feel dirty… literally. After about 4 hours your eyes start to burn from the smoke and all the strange scents each hotel and/or casino tries pumping into their respective ozones. At the end of day [...]
