I should close on the new house within the week, so now I need to choose some colors to paint before I begin the full moving process . . .

too many choices . . .

Burning Man 2009 Pictures

September 12th, 2009

The rest of the pictures are up in the Gallery.   As always, Burning Man was an intense, rewarding, and refreshing experience for me.  Aside from the amazing art and explosions, taking a week to disconnect from the multi-tasking distractions of my everyday life always refreshes me and serves as a reminder not to get too distracted by the toys and technology of modern life.

Since I already have most of my other gear from previous years, this year I decided to invest in some improved shelter for my trip to the Playa.

The preparations begin…

Blogging from 30,000 feet

August 5th, 2009

Now that I can blog from 30,000 feet using my iPhone, maybe I’ll actually remember to update my blog more often. I have to say, though, that I’ve gotten into the habit of updating Facebook with a lot of the kinds of things I used to put up here. Brightrock seems to only get an update when I have a big trip to brag about.

(Writing from a Delta airlines 757-200 at ~30,000 feet. )

we go live . . .

From what I could tell scanning through the morning news on the Tivo, there was about 2.75 hours of Michael Jackson coverage on CNN, with the remaining 15 minutes devoted to other less important stuff: Iran, Iraq, North Korea, health care legislation, etc.  This cartoon sums it up nicely . . .
