I have to say, traveling with an iPhone is pretty damn awesome. There’s very little that I couldn’t do with an iPhone that I do on my laptop. If I was so inclined, I could make this post with my iPhone, but I just happen to be on my laptop and it’s that much faster [...]

No work for about 2 weeks. Nice. Tomorrow I fly out to Wilmington, NC for a few days. I’ll be back in Boston for two days. Then I’m leaving for Portland, OR on the 10th, returning on the 18th. It’ll be nice to get out of Boston for a bit. The real stress will be [...]

I’ve been super busy lately and haven’t been updating like I should be. The week of 12/8 I was nighttime upgrader and I was scheduled to work the weekend of 12/13. That got bumped, but completely ate my Friday night. Then from 12/18-12/25, I’ve been on-call, which means 24-7 support coverage by phone. I also [...]

I have just under 9 vacation days (70 hours) that I need to take by the end of the year. If I don’t, then I’ll lose that time… which would be dumb of me to let happen. To help combat that, I just booked a trip at the beginning of December to visit my Mom [...]

I just got through updating WP and all of my plugins to the latest versions. It takes some time because I’ve made modifications to about half of the plugins and it’s a PITA to upgrade my test system, test it, make sure I’ve made all necessary changes and then upgrade the production box and make [...]

Corinne and I randomly decided to head to NY this weekend. We just finished getting a place to stay and tickets. If you’re in the area and might want to see us for a drink or meal, give me a ring.

Here’s a pano I took this afternoon from my visit to Bald Head Island in North Carolina. Naturally, click for larger. I’m happier with the results than the last two panos that I posted.

I’m in North Carolina visiting my mother. Weather is pretty hot with high humidity. We’re talking low to mid 90′s. This evening we had some thunderstorms roll through. They were over fairly quickly, but they were definitely pretty heavy for a bit. The video doesn’t really show the rain (though you can see it hitting [...]

Corinne and I took a day trip up to the Kancamagus Highway today. While thoroughly exhausted, it was a great time. I took a bunch of photo gear with me, but didn’t end up doing a lot of shooting. While the weather was nice, there were tons of clouds that ruined a lot of otherwise [...]

In 2008 we went to Grand Cayman for about a week and a half to do some diving. Due to some technical issues, the underwater shots really didn’t turn out, but I got a handful of good topside shots that I’ve posted. They’ve been added to the regular galleries and you can check out the [...]
