A tasty, delicious bottle of “looks like orange, tastes like grape.”

I love obscure sodas.

Yet again, more posting on topics I dont discuss publicly. Funny how things work out that way. There’s a million things I want to say, one or two that I want to shout to the world. But as I said, some topics are off the table. So I end up being really vague.

There are moments in your life that can be defining. Moments where something changed. And ( Read more... )

Of course, you would think that with a holiday weekend, I’d be slacking. No. Of course not. I was up at a decent hour this morning, and made what I think turned out to be a pretty awesome looking American Flag.

And we skip ahead to the 7th, technically the 8th, since its’ almost midnight. I unfortunately got distracted earlier on the 4th, and ( Read more... )

Its been an interesting 3 weeks. I spent the last two in San Jose, CA for (CENSORED). As is obvious, I wont mention my employer by name, nor can I mention what I was doing in CA. All I can say is that I was there for (CENSORED), for (CENSORED).

Over the course of my time, I made it to the computer history museum, In-N-Out Burger, San Francisco, ( Read more... )

Things continue on as normal these days. I could almost say I’ve got a routine going. Not that it’ll last long, but hey, I’ll take what I can get. Of recent, I re-certified again, which means this is year number nine. I came close to lapsing, due to various issues, but I managed to resolve them, and get it done. At the same time, It looks like I’ll ( Read more... )

So I havent posted since election day. There’s been a lot in the mix since then, as one might expect. On the home front, Chris moved to portland on the 10th. Having known him for a decade, I knew it’d be good to have him here. As expected, he’s a damned good housemate. In the last ten days, we’ve managed to get a ton of stuff moved here from VA, ( Read more... )

Some things in life please me.

I have an awesome apartment.

My girlfriend is, well yeah. I adore her.

It’ll be winter soon, and I’ll be able to get a new board this year.

Chris moves out in November.

These are all good things. And then the universe decides to make my day. I find out that GWAR is coming on tour. And not only will they be coming, ( Read more... )

So after getting off (Censored!) I headed home. Not long after, Mr. Kirby arrived. Much conversation about all things technical took place, and many subjects were delved into deeply. By all accounts, it was a damned good evening’s conversation. Its always good to solidify a new friendship. However, things must come to an end, and I was yawning way ( Read more... )

As per normal, updating during the week seems to not happen, and its only on the weekend when I seem to get the chance to put something down and post it. Go figure. At least I still remember to post, update wordpress, and update my plugins. Its probably for the best that spam is automatically destroyed

I havent said too much recently, and I know that. Things have been hectic for sure. But, It feels good to be on to new things. Of the most positive, I’m no longer commuting to Lake Oswego, Beaverton, Eugene, or Seattle for work. No more blowing through a tank of gas a week. No more freezing my ass off in winter, and dripping with sweat in the ( Read more... )
