Outside Red Rock Canyon, Nevada

April 2009

Back safe & sound in Orlando. Driving back to Tallahassee tomorrow. Had fun on this trip. Pictures to follow.

On our way to Hoover Dam, our last "must see" for the trip.

This has been a great vacation. I really needed this to recharge. We come back to Florida tomorrow, but first: Hoover Dam!

Back at the hotel, making decisions about dinner. Grand Canyon National Park was crowded but impressive.

Greetings from the Grand Canyon! Where there is free wifi and full cell service.

@otaku1 is loving the remote start feature of our rental. (Pontiac G6.)

On our way to Grand Canyon from Las Vegas.

I'm going to beat you to a Twitter post, @otaku1!

I can't believe it's cold here! I did not pack for this. Grand Canyon: 22F tonight! It'll be 66 tomorrow.

Greetings from the Pacific time zone! Where it feels like midnight, even at 9pm local time!

We have arrived in Las Vegas!

Our flight to Las Vegas has a stopover in Kansas City, MO. And it's raining. And we're waiting for a gate.

Waiting at Orlando airport for my flight to Las Vegas. Going to see Grand Canyon, Death Valley.

Bill was/is my favorite Freaks & Geeks character.

There's something very satisfying about listening to a podcast version of "Marketplace" while programming.

Watching the FSU Budget Town Hall Meeting webcast.

Do not send me txts; I am over my 250 limit and paying 20ยข for each one. But I'll be fine after Thursday, so hang in there, txting friends.

The Girl Scouts FINALLY deposited my $10.50 check for the cookies I bought months ago!

Woke up with a massive headache, enjoying some West Wing on DVD at home.

I was cranky on Monday for no particular reason. Today is much better. I got a great night's sleep, too, which is always nice.

Monday morning: tired, don't really want to be at work, and it's one of those "don't mess with me" days, I can already tell.

Is it an Easter thing to wrap your ankle like it's sprained? Can't be coincidental that I've seen so many sprained ankled people today.

it's official, we found our first conficker infection!

Halp! Why would outgoing e-mail in Outlook suddenly stop working? I thought it was isolated to one computer, but it happens on others...

Pandora just came up with this gem of a band name: Twilightning.

Going to Las Vegas at the end of the month & will drive to Grand Canyon & Death Valley. It'll likely be my last vacation for quite a while.

Freaks & Geeks was/is a great show. It is a real shame that it never found an audience while it was still on the air.

Twitter post via ping.fm. The last one erased the previous one! Testing...

This is a test of the ping.fm post by e-mail feature. Sorry if this spams anyone.

Just set up Ping.fm and Friendfeed. Tired of trying to update a gadzillion different things with similar messages.
