Thu, Mar 19, 2009 17:20:38 still feeling miserable but able to get food down and headache has finally broken a bit. moving in the right direction.
Thu, Mar 19, 2009 12:17:04 stomach flu = no fluids = dehydration headache. then along comes caffeine withdrawl headache. two to nine days to get over cw? ouch.
Thu, Mar 19, 2009 12:08:05 worst headache of my life, last two days, still happening. and i'm a person who's had migranes since age five.

Wed, Mar 18, 2009 01:08:27 new package design for gatorade. like tropicana, seems a more generic value-brand look is in vogue during a slow economy.
Wed, Mar 18, 2009 00:17:13 terp and ava puking right now... emme got hers yesterday. kroger for gatorade... terp didn't like endurolyte capsules broken in h2o.
Mon, Mar 16, 2009 22:35:51 chatting with my mom on facebook chat... how cool is that? proud of big c!
Mon, Mar 16, 2009 16:44:37 @mlevchin 240w x 1.5hrs on take it easy orders is some pretty serious kit. you sure you're not really a cyclist who happens to start cos?
Mon, Mar 16, 2009 16:17:58 charter sucks. may go w/directv but am worried about hd/digital reception on cloudy/rainy days (problem w/dish ~10yrs ago.) thoughts?
Mon, Mar 16, 2009 14:45:58 @mlevchin road only, good man! love the computrainer. Do you race? @ghincapie rocked "290 watts average today for 6 hours 45 min"
Mon, Mar 16, 2009 14:38:41 headed over to sr's to pick up a check, carry a too-heavy whiteboard to storage and chat about dNeero, life, taxes, etc.
Mon, Mar 16, 2009 00:58:55 off the bike, felt pretty good to put a workout onto the books a few minutes before midnight... or as i call it these days, mid-morning.
Sun, Mar 15, 2009 19:46:35 set my phone to "mmmbop" when terp calls (got the idea from house). she now seeks retaliatory sound for when i call. ringtone war!
Fri, Mar 13, 2009 05:34:00 another 16 hr day and my sleep schedule is obviously way out of whack
Thu, Mar 12, 2009 10:52:50 weather.com lists rain for the next five days. it rarely works out that way but i'll enjoy any sun and dryness that today has to offer.
Thu, Mar 12, 2009 01:56:19 ending a 16 hour work day with few breaks. will watch some tv and then crash. repeat tomorrow.
Wed, Mar 11, 2009 23:41:54 still at it. no break longer than five mins today. i'm going on 13 hours. consumed, i am.
Wed, Mar 11, 2009 14:13:53 i bet there's a high correlation between my caffeine intake and facebook/twitter interaction rate... would love to see the graph
Wed, Mar 11, 2009 10:17:58 @twinathlete two hours on the trainer is hard core! a little over an hour seems to be my solo limit even with tv, music, etc. rock on!
Wed, Mar 11, 2009 10:03:16 @metamarshall big morning... i can finally click view history on my whs shared folder and get a graph... woOT! oh, the little things.

Wed, Mar 4, 2009 13:06:10 losing today to file server issues which always have to be taken seriously because they protect critical data. still, not fun.

Wed, Dec 17, 2008 13:53:02 @metamarshall good screen setup. consider a last lap pace instead of lap pace. you can check it at any point and it represents a full mile.
Wed, Dec 17, 2008 12:36:44 researching email-to-db and email-to-data structure stuff... automated accept input/data from people replying to email... o/s java projs?

Wed, Nov 19, 2008 12:33:53 Draggin' now. Trying to decide between caffeine and a nap.
Wed, Nov 19, 2008 08:53:13 Sleep deprived.
Mon, Nov 17, 2008 11:21:26 Back home with the server.
Mon, Nov 17, 2008 10:19:39 Enya relaxing.
Mon, Nov 17, 2008 10:19:14 Heading downtown to pick up a server.
Sat, Nov 15, 2008 20:30:59 UFC91 tonight at Kindzia's. It's on.
Sat, Nov 15, 2008 14:28:51 Yep, two weeks behind on the race report.
Thu, Nov 13, 2008 10:16:14 Science is willing to change its views as new evidence comes in. In this case the manner in which civilizations formed has new evidence from which to adjust the model.
Mon, Nov 10, 2008 11:55:21 Up a lot of last night with server issues.
Sun, Nov 9, 2008 12:27:24 I'm tired.
Fri, Nov 7, 2008 10:55:11 Hard disk on the lappy getting low. It's one of those fancy (and underperforming) SSD devices... no moving parts.. basically RAM. So it's small... 32Gb. Deleted a bunch of crap and am back up to 6Gb free now.
Thu, Nov 6, 2008 12:23:14 Running late on the race report front.
Wed, Nov 5, 2008 16:55:19 Got a haircut today at Jon's new salon. He put gunk in my hair. I got home and washed it out... lol. I was getting pretty bushy.
Wed, Nov 5, 2008 00:39:55 Back in Atlanta.
Sat, Nov 1, 2008 05:40:21 Alarm clock worked. Race day.
Thu, Oct 30, 2008 09:07:27 Great. My planned big night of sleep netted me about four hours. I got to sleep at 8p. Then I was up and down for the rest of it. Still exhausted.
Wed, Oct 29, 2008 20:19:00 My goal now is to stay awake until 8pm local time and then I'll crash hard and get a good night's sleep. Really fighting exhaustion right now.
Wed, Oct 29, 2008 20:18:24 Long drive getting down here. Emme screamed a lot. Terp did a good job taking care of her. Took four hours to find a freaking gas station with a working air pump... frustrating. Minivan's heating/cooling fan chose today to break. I'm working on way too few hours of sleep over the last four days.
Wed, Oct 29, 2008 10:14:01 Ice on the deck this morning. Cold out.
Tue, Oct 28, 2008 22:40:51 Packed stuff up for the trip this evening. Moved the kids' car seats into the minivan. Cleaned out 500 used PowerGel packets. Inflated the race wheels and spare last night to check for slow leaks. Put the 11x23 gear onto the disc. Learned that my iPod Nano is dead... battery catastrophic failure. Loaded up the laptop with the latest files for the trip. Ran out of whey protein. Final leg Nairing before the race. Busy day tomorrow. Last workouts in the am and then the drive to Destin with the fam. No drive through (bike on top.) Cool weather here in Atlanta.
Mon, Oct 27, 2008 13:52:04 Now already behind on my day. Have already been working six hours. Need to run to All3 and then get an afternoon swim in. Haven't been away from the stupid servers in three days.
Mon, Oct 27, 2008 08:43:07 Was up early and planned on swimming but got dragged into work. Or did I drag myself?
Sun, Oct 26, 2008 08:12:42 Awake again. About 4.5 hrs of sleep.
Sun, Oct 26, 2008 02:33:19 Can't sleep. Can't relax. It's very interesting because it's similar to my inability to sleep after a race or big day of training. It's like the engine just won't shut down. I was going, going, going for so long and now I want to sleep but my brain's still going a million miles an hour.
Sun, Oct 26, 2008 01:48:12 Turning alarm off... don't think waking up at 5:30a makes any sense, despite my desire to move my sleep pattern for the race. I'll catch back up.
Sun, Oct 26, 2008 01:18:35 Not asleep yet. Just can't quit yet.
Sun, Oct 26, 2008 00:08:14 Still awake past midnight. Must get to sleep.
Sat, Oct 25, 2008 22:30:20 Need to get to sleep to keep shifting sleep pattern. Need to stay awake to fix servers.
Fri, Oct 24, 2008 21:11:57 Ok, normally I'd work for the next four hours but tonight I'm gonna continue shifting my sleep pattern. Off to bed early.
Fri, Oct 24, 2008 20:36:08 So who's gonna have my Ultegra 11x23 cassette? I should know by now to call ahead. Performance and REI didn't have one. Need to call around tomorrow.
Fri, Oct 24, 2008 07:12:43 Rainy day all day today.
Fri, Oct 24, 2008 07:12:05 Got to sleep early last night, up at 6:30a today. So the sleep shift continues.
Thu, Oct 23, 2008 20:17:37 The stink in farts controls blood pressure. Finally I am vindicated after all these years.
Thu, Oct 23, 2008 07:47:24 Up 'till 2:30a last night, awake at 7:30a this morning. Starting the sleep cycle shift gently.
Thu, Oct 23, 2008 01:03:34 Sleep cycles are out of whack. Lots of late night work. Which happens whenever the work gets technical and all-consuming. But I need to be freshly slept at 4am in 10 days so it's time to make a shift.
Wed, Oct 22, 2008 22:04:10 "The birds would have gobbled up energy at some eight times their resting basic metabolic rate (BMR) during their week-long exertion, he said.
Peak human performance is measured in professional cyclists, who can only manage about five times BMR for a few hours. "Lance Armstrong would be no competition for these birds," he said." More here.
Wed, Oct 22, 2008 12:32:41 An hour of my life evaporated on the phone with USAA getting our homeowner's policy canceled on the old house and moved to the new house.
Tue, Oct 21, 2008 22:35:49 Another friend in trouble. Apparently the 30s suck.
Tue, Oct 21, 2008 13:48:22 Charter internet customer care is useless.
Tue, Oct 21, 2008 11:14:05 Good call with Paul Carriere who's steadily recovering from his wreck a couple weeks back.
Tue, Oct 21, 2008 10:13:43 Headache. I think I got behind on my water intake.
Sun, Oct 19, 2008 23:36:15 So just spent the last three hours at the computer working instead of watching the tv I had planned on watching... Nova, Dexter, Entourage, Californication. Thankfully my PVR can back me up. But I've got to get better at this rest and relaxation stuff.
Sun, Oct 19, 2008 22:49:38 New Nova on tonight about the space shuttle disaster.
Sun, Oct 19, 2008 16:30:07 Chilly out today. High below 70. Overnight was down in the mid-40s.
Sat, Oct 18, 2008 10:55:31 Good luck to Lucho who's running the Kansas Marathon today. He's hoping to go under 2:30. He may already be done, actually.
Fri, Oct 17, 2008 21:24:50 Pineapples seem to be a crapshoot this time of year and I just got a nice sweet juicy one. Love it with my Odwalla Super Protein Vanilla Al'Mondo Protein drink.
Wed, Oct 15, 2008 21:21:24 Oh what the hell? Good news, bad news. My life's a freaking roller coaster right now. Has been for five years. The best things ever have happened and a bunch of really tough stuff has gone down.
Tue, Oct 14, 2008 09:59:01 Catatumbo is a neverending electrical storm.
Tue, Oct 14, 2008 09:24:21 Headache still here. Annoying.
Mon, Oct 13, 2008 23:54:09 Getting a headache right now. Caffeine yesterday. The headache is always delayed by about 24 hours. Which is why I avoid caffeine like the plague. Usually.
Mon, Oct 13, 2008 19:25:01 Unintentionally inappropriate science papers can be found here.
Mon, Oct 13, 2008 09:56:34 Guy named Russell just called. Found on the website that I've tried the Selle SMP saddles.
Mon, Oct 13, 2008 09:23:21 Currently awake after a good night of sleep.
Sun, Oct 12, 2008 21:53:16 Currently caffeinated.
Sun, Oct 12, 2008 02:04:12 Can't sleep. Stress of life.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 22:37:49 Looks like Jeff took 5th in the overall amateur race.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 22:35:49 Heh... there it is... they switched the clock back the 15 minutes for the amateurs... I never knew when they did that but always wondered. It's the little things.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 22:15:25 Well, great Ironman Haqaii for 2009. I'm hangin' up the coverage and getting ready for tomorrow's ride with Kindzia, Caplan and Spencer. I shall hurt.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 22:14:40 Jeff Keil goes sub-3 on the marathon. Nice. Finishes 40th overall but I'm guessing that'll move up a bit because he started with the amateurs, fifteen minutes back on the overall. He took 2nd in his age group.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 21:58:13 And Chrissy seals the deal! Commanding win.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 20:47:50 Craig Alexander doesn't like being called Crowie. Apparently it was a lifeguard named Crowie that he looks like. Funny.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 20:42:09 Chrissie Wellington tearing it up. And Crowie's gonna win.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 20:07:16 Crowie, Craig Alexander, just took the lead. Eneko Llanos about ten seconds back. Great run race.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 19:13:52 Great run competition today. Crowie and Brownie close with Stadler leading and Eneko looking strong.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 17:26:30 Jeff Keil still looking strong well into the bike.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 16:52:46 Macca's out!
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 13:02:24 Didi leading for the ladies. Hill Biscay in the mix.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 13:00:04 Potts, Sasson and Faris Al Sultan out in front of the swim, as expected.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 12:50:03 Just. About. Go. Time.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 11:47:14 Sindballe did three altitude camps this year.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 11:42:45 Norman Stadler's well-slept and healthy. Andy Potts is ready to swim like mad. It's gonna be one of the best Ironman races ever.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 10:14:10 Ironman's 30 years old.
Sat, Oct 11, 2008 10:08:17 Ironman Hawaii live online coverage is beginning! It's all ads right now. Which is actually great to see. It means money is coming into the sport which will allow it to expand. Only a couple years ago the webcast was devoid of adverts. It's a balance of course... on the one hand we don't want things overly commercialized... on the other we do want the sport to grow. You know, so more people can suffer the joys of dehydration and sugar depletion in spandex!
Fri, Oct 10, 2008 18:25:42 It's the weekend. Why the f am I still at my stupid computer?
Thu, Oct 9, 2008 20:03:06 8pm and I'm just getting a moment to reflect on the day.
Wed, Oct 8, 2008 13:34:54 Internet seems to be back up.
Wed, Oct 8, 2008 08:08:22 Still no internet or cable at the house this am.
Tue, Oct 7, 2008 21:05:14 Internet and cable down at the house. According to Charter they'll be back up four hours ago.
Tue, Oct 7, 2008 09:39:26 I watched all of one show last night. Lots on the PVR now.
Mon, Oct 6, 2008 19:57:44 Good TV night tonight. Chuck, Life, CSI: Miami, Prison Break, Heroes. The TiVo (well, the cable company rental PVR) will be working overtime tonight. No way I'll catch even half of the new stuff.
Mon, Oct 6, 2008 14:22:54 Victory fail. This is how I've always imagined my first attempt at the arm raise finish.
Mon, Oct 6, 2008 09:37:50 It's Monday! Yipee!
Sun, Oct 5, 2008 00:09:15 Got a haircut today too. Jon's new salon in the Highlands. Nice place... I'll have to post specifics.
Sun, Oct 5, 2008 00:05:21 Getting up early tomorrow to ride the Serrano ride. Only committing to 60 and a short run. Marc and Kindzia'll be there.
Sun, Oct 5, 2008 00:04:50 Just watched some MMA on CBS. Surprise at the end.
Fri, Oct 3, 2008 09:31:24 Way early for a meeting... no traffic this morning heading into Decatur.
Thu, Oct 2, 2008 19:23:44 VP debate tonight. I was able to stand all of 25 minutes of the prez debate before my bs meter exploded and I gave up. But I am interested to see how Biden treats Palin. He's in something of a no-win position here and subtlety isn't known to be his strength. Could be interesting. Worth a peep.
Thu, Oct 2, 2008 19:22:15 Need to blog about my blogging... I know, funny. I was thinking about how I'm so lame these days compared to Kindzia, Nat, LoveOfShoes and other bloggers. But maybe I'm not that lame. Maybe it's part of a natural progression. Not towards lameness. But the way that hobbies tie up thoughts for a while and then your thinking moves on... even though you're involved in the thing. Just a theory. Maybe a rationalization for me to be lazy. Will explore more at some point but wanted to get quick summary up.
Wed, Oct 1, 2008 11:42:37 Haven't had my instant messenger on in many months. Starting to turn it on a bit again.
Wed, Oct 1, 2008 11:26:17 Leaves just started falling today.
Wed, Oct 1, 2008 09:08:41 Gas crisis seems to be ending.
Tue, Sep 30, 2008 19:27:56 Father bought me a new 22" lcd monitor. Heading over to pick it up. Thanks dad!
Mon, Sep 29, 2008 20:32:03 Chuck season premiere on tonight. Missed the first nine minutes but, hey, that's life. And another Heroes episode. Not sure if I've ever been bold enough to announce that I watch How I Met Your Mother... NPH rocks! Dang, really??! Now I have to turn in my Man Card?!??
Mon, Sep 29, 2008 18:22:14 Cool helmet on eBay... I think this'd scare Kindzia and help me win! Tip from Marc.
Sat, Sep 27, 2008 21:58:27 Kroger had run out of gas when I checked in at 8:15p tonight.
Sat, Sep 27, 2008 16:57:57 Lines around gas stations have been long all day. Not a statement of freaking-out-ism. Just observing.
Sat, Sep 27, 2008 12:45:57 Got 62 people watching my eBay Selle Italia auction. Usually I only get three or four people watching auctions. More people watching each day. Auction done Sunday evening.
Sat, Sep 27, 2008 11:25:00 Heather and I went out to look for gas this am. She's got a real estate showing today and is running on fumes. I've got the Six Gap thing tomorrow. We saw nothing but long lines at stations within 6-10 miles of the house. Heather had to wait through them. I went home.
Fri, Sep 26, 2008 10:29:41 Lots of new shows on the air these days. Watched The Mentalist last night and found it pretty good. Been watching Fringe for a couple weeks... enjoyable but jury's out on whether they can keep it so. Jay Mohr's always awesome so I checked out his new family-esque sitcom (why isn't he a hard-cussing Ari-rival in Entourage yet, btw?)
Thu, Sep 25, 2008 19:15:47 Awesome Ari Gold quotes.
Thu, Sep 25, 2008 17:20:09 I believe it's uncool for Kroger to have a lady with a cold/flu coughing all over my 15 PowerGels as she puts them into the bag. It didn't help that she was very short and her face was 5 inches from my 15 PowerGels. And it wasn't fun manually rinsing 15 PowerGels down with hand sanitizer before my workout.
Thu, Sep 25, 2008 16:24:30 Haaa... police fail from the absolutely hilarious Fail Blog where people upload pics and videos labeled with a simple "Fail" tagline. Give it time... you'll fall in love with it too.
Thu, Sep 25, 2008 07:55:48 Made it through Heroes. Can't believe they all blew up like that.
Tue, Sep 23, 2008 09:18:25 Never actually made it through Heroes... but have it TiVoed. Don't tell me how it ends.
Mon, Sep 22, 2008 20:23:53 Didn't realize Heroes was starting back up tonight. WoOT!
Sun, Sep 21, 2008 12:17:34 Gotta love The Onion... "our whole friggin' universe might be just one big atom in, say, some super-duper huge thing out there somewhere, or something. "
Fri, Sep 19, 2008 16:06:54 From Marc's latest post: "Uninspired and mentally broken I drifted over to Reger's" If I had a nickle for every time somebody said that...
Thu, Sep 18, 2008 18:17:30 Workout sucked.
Thu, Sep 18, 2008 16:50:20 Meetings done. Time to workout.
Thu, Sep 18, 2008 12:40:20 One mtg down. At Tamarind Seed for second.
Thu, Sep 18, 2008 10:11:11 It's our fourth wedding anniversary! Love you Terp!
Thu, Sep 18, 2008 10:08:10 Marc's here doing CompuTrainer tests. I've got to split at 10:30 for three meetings today.
Wed, Sep 17, 2008 23:51:28 Been traveling for three weeks. Want to take a few days to relax. Tomorrow and Friday will not be those days, unfortunately.
Wed, Sep 17, 2008 23:50:26 Back home. Got to snug Aves, Emme and Terp.
Wed, Sep 17, 2008 21:48:39 Safely back in atlanta. Not an easy flight. Too hot and cramped.
Wed, Sep 17, 2008 17:56:36 At the airport waiting for a 7pm flight.
Wed, Sep 17, 2008 14:38:32 Breakfast with Bob, two meetings and lunch with Bob down. One meeting and a flight back to atlanta remaining. Wandering around downtown NYC right now. Nice day out.
Wed, Sep 17, 2008 06:59:30 Had dinner last night with Uncle Bob and Bran Rolston at Circus. Good food and enjoyable conversation.
Tue, Sep 16, 2008 14:22:56 Just saw Paul Wolfowitz.
Tue, Sep 16, 2008 09:02:31 Stepped into the bathroom and found myself face to face with Evander Holyfield. I won't be signing up for a heavyweight fight any time soon... that dude's big.
Tue, Sep 16, 2008 08:49:16 Just landed in New York City.
Tue, Sep 16, 2008 06:34:20 On what Ava calls the "big airplane." I told her I was flying today and she said "on a big airplane?"
Tue, Sep 16, 2008 04:36:15 Awake until 1 last night. Up at 4 this morning. Heading to NYC. Definitely planning some sleep on the plane.
Mon, Sep 15, 2008 22:01:20 Packing up for the trip to NYC.
Sat, Sep 13, 2008 22:14:23 Got the bike packed into the minivan. Trip to Kroger for some PowerGels. The cashier said she used to work at PowerBar before the Nestle acquisition and knew the founders well.
Sat, Sep 13, 2008 10:54:42 Charter sucks.
Sat, Sep 13, 2008 10:54:37 Mowed the lawn.
Fri, Sep 12, 2008 19:31:45 Turkey burgers. Yummy. We're gonna switch all of our ground meat stuff to turkey.
Fri, Sep 12, 2008 18:25:38 It's the weekend. Like MetaMarshall, my assignment is to cut the front lawn.
Thu, Sep 11, 2008 15:50:18 Terp won our third Scrabble match. And our secund... I mean second. Letters.
Wed, Sep 10, 2008 21:23:56 Terp and I are back at Scrabble. Terp's winning, as usual.
Wed, Sep 10, 2008 12:10:26 A good plain-English graphical animation of the LHC and its data flow.
Wed, Sep 10, 2008 10:24:02 Gutter on the house being fixed by some random dudes who rang the doorbell and said they'd fix it for $100. Rock on.
Wed, Sep 10, 2008 05:15:44 LHC beam coming online today! Big physics geek day!
Tue, Sep 9, 2008 22:30:42 23andme.com drops its genome scanning to $399. Getting tempting. Note, as I did before, that this is genotyping which looks at about 1 million "important" genes. This isn't sequencing which reads each DNA pair. That technology'll take a few more years to develop.
Tue, Sep 9, 2008 18:54:50 Kids were great on the plane again. Ava slept. Emme was chill most of the time. Terp was pretty good too.
Tue, Sep 9, 2008 13:19:11 At airport, through security. Sad to say goodbye to mom.
Tue, Sep 9, 2008 10:00:18 Heading back to Atlanta today.
Tue, Sep 9, 2008 08:54:38 Lance is back?!? Thanks to Danielle for the tip. This is all just because I took a picture of his wax museum figure yesterday.
Mon, Sep 8, 2008 15:26:08 Hot sardine-like boatride. Aves fell asleep in my arms.
Mon, Sep 8, 2008 13:26:10 Lunch on the Riverwalk.
Mon, Sep 8, 2008 13:25:42 Saw the Alamo for my second time, Terp, Ava and Emme's first.
Mon, Sep 8, 2008 09:06:30 Big rain last night in San Antonio. Had a headache all night, and not because of the server. Barometric pressure issue? Or caffeine issue because I used some yesterday on the workout?
Sun, Sep 7, 2008 16:11:05 Back from Sea World.
Sun, Sep 7, 2008 10:34:49 We're heading to Sea World today.
Sun, Sep 7, 2008 00:33:23 Wow. Liddell goes down haaaard.
Sat, Sep 6, 2008 22:00:32 "This hurts me to do... why would you pay for a fight?" says my mother as she hits the $44.95 PayPerView button. "This is your Christmas present." "But they'll bleed," I say. It doesn't resonate. I am now alone, Mark, Carol and Terp have left the room.
Sat, Sep 6, 2008 21:55:41 Gonna watch UFC88. Nobody at my mom's house seems to get why I'm watching a fight. Lots of guilt tripping from Big C!
Sat, Sep 6, 2008 20:19:30 Back in San Antonio. Had some fun with the kids in the pool. Ate some turkey burgers. Ready for spice cake.
Sat, Sep 6, 2008 14:53:27 In Bandera Texas.
Sat, Sep 6, 2008 13:05:28 After a morning in the p double oh with Aves we're heading up into Hill Country for a drive. Texas, here we come!
Sat, Sep 6, 2008 13:04:39 Garmin worked today. I think the battery was just completely drained.
Fri, Sep 5, 2008 18:08:30 Garmin 305's not working. Whattup Garmy?
Fri, Sep 5, 2008 16:10:35 Cell phone's back on.
Fri, Sep 5, 2008 09:08:03 Cell phone's been disconnected.
Thu, Sep 4, 2008 11:00:41 Heading to the San Antonio Zoo with Ava.
Wed, Sep 3, 2008 17:27:06 Air hockey with Ava. She's got some good hand-eye coordination.
Wed, Sep 3, 2008 12:59:38 Target run with mom.
Wed, Sep 3, 2008 12:33:00 Trying to find a doc in San Antonio for Terp.
Tue, Sep 2, 2008 17:52:03 Just landed. Kids did a great job.
Tue, Sep 2, 2008 14:33:42 At the airport with two kids, a wife and my mother-in-law. Through security. At gate. Not easy but also not too hard and we're having fun with Aves.
Tue, Sep 2, 2008 11:30:10 Holy packing mania. Traveling with kids is work.
Mon, Sep 1, 2008 20:32:24 Back in Atlanta.
Sun, Aug 31, 2008 04:31:13 Heading to the race. Not taking phone so I'll have it post-race. Thanks again to everybody for the support!
Sun, Aug 31, 2008 03:59:17 Alarm clock worked. Up and getting ready for race.
Sat, Aug 30, 2008 20:05:01 Yay. Weather.com says a high of 93 degrees tomorrow for the race. Shoot me now.
Sat, Aug 30, 2008 16:40:58 Back at the hotel after the course drive.
Sat, Aug 30, 2008 14:35:52 Driving the course with Keith and Danielle. Hilly. Pretty. Not shady.
Sat, Aug 30, 2008 12:24:02 There's the heat. Starting to feel very hot now. Note to self: hot.
Sat, Aug 30, 2008 12:22:09 Bike checked in. They have this chaperone system, it's not an open transition area. I'm not a big fan. I like to wander around and review my bags, bike, etc. From here forward I don't have access to my T1 or T2 bags. Hope I got everything I need into them.
Sat, Aug 30, 2008 10:41:19 Overcast and cooler this morning in Louisville. Why couldn't the race be today? Tomorrow's gonna be hot. I will welcome any clouds.
Sat, Aug 30, 2008 10:17:18 Got an hour to kill before checking bike in. Will wander Louisville aimlessly looking for easily-digestable food.
Sat, Aug 30, 2008 05:14:08 Awake. Good night's sleep.
Fri, Aug 29, 2008 16:02:00 Twelve minute walk from my hotel to official event hotel. Wow it's hot up here. I shall explode quickly.
Fri, Aug 29, 2008 15:41:16 My hotel location rocks... right between start and finish... a little closer to finish. Got lucky.
Fri, Aug 29, 2008 13:07:44 Reg done. Supereasy.
Fri, Aug 29, 2008 12:41:32 Just arrived in Louisville. First task: get registered.
Fri, Aug 29, 2008 10:29:10 bandwidth died just after crossing into kentucky
Fri, Aug 29, 2008 08:06:26 North of Chattanooga.
Fri, Aug 29, 2008 08:04:35 Second stop for coffee in quick succession... first stop was watery crap.
Fri, Aug 29, 2008 05:38:53 on the raod
Fri, Aug 29, 2008 04:42:02 Well, I got to screwin' around with the computer and I just stayed up.
Fri, Aug 29, 2008 04:01:45 Awake again at 4am. What's up?
Fri, Aug 29, 2008 01:34:48 Popped awake at 1:30am... not exactly the plan. Should be heading back to sleep but instead I'm reading all the great blog posts my friends are doing. You guys and girls really write great stuff!
Thu, Aug 28, 2008 20:50:13 Took some melatonin since I was up until 3am working last night and wasn't able to get up at 5am, which is what I should have done. So I'll try to get to bed early tonight and get onto an early schedule again.
Thu, Aug 28, 2008 20:46:23 About 90% packed. Bike in car. Race bag packed (and was first.) Computer, nutrition and toiletries still need to be thrown in tomorrow am. Having to load some gps maps right now.
Thu, Aug 28, 2008 15:41:37 "The embattled Clayton County school district has become the first US district in 40 years to lose accreditation, according to a county commissioner." Maybe we shouldn't be investing in a branding campaign for Atlanta if Georgia can't do basic stuff like educate.
Thu, Aug 28, 2008 14:21:34 Errands done. Now gotta pack.
Thu, Aug 28, 2008 13:35:51 Wow crazy dude in waiting room. He's an inventor and IBM has bought eight of his ideas.. When asked what inventions he says "internet and stuff." Then silence. Wants to go 50/50 on an idea with me. I decline. Tells me the idea is a button on home security panels to lock individual doors. I decline. Entertaining way to burn some time. Lol. Nice guy and all. But, out there. Heh, waiting rooms.
Thu, Aug 28, 2008 13:29:29 Errands getting ready for trip tomorrow. Tires rotated. Oil topped off. Blinker fixed. Some liquid nutrition supplies. Misc drug store stuff. Sitting at NTB now waiting for car work to be done.
Tue, Aug 26, 2008 13:22:03 UPC power supply just keeps beeping, battery may be dead? pita.
Tue, Aug 26, 2008 13:17:54 Headed to Atlanta Cycling and saw Jim there... sat next to him at dinner on Saturday. Small Atlanta.
Tue, Aug 26, 2008 11:02:07 Half of the back yard was flooded but it's receding quickly now. About a quarter flooded now. Maybe some more rains this afternoon.
Tue, Aug 26, 2008 09:14:38 Slow rain has put the stream out back up to the highest level I've seen.
Mon, Aug 25, 2008 19:38:05 Rain has been a little less than spectacular. Light drizzle all day. Couple good spots of rain. But the main bands of Fay's remnants kind of skipped our house. Too bad.
Mon, Aug 25, 2008 15:23:56 Here comes the rain. Lovin' it!
Mon, Aug 25, 2008 08:47:13 From weather.com: The rain that fell across metro Atlanta on Sunday ? produced by the fringes of Fay as it tracked across north Florida ? was ?just a prelude of things to come,? a Weather Service statement said. ?Monday night has the potential to be much worse with thunderstorms, very heavy rain and possible tornadoes.?
Sun, Aug 24, 2008 22:29:14 Kindzia finished! Congrats are in order and he gets his awesome IMCA medal. He was off of his targets but all this really means is that he, and we through his blog, will learn a ton! Congrats Paul, now go get some rest!
Sun, Aug 24, 2008 20:57:40 Nice little storms engulfing the ATL.
Sun, Aug 24, 2008 19:13:02 Belinda Granger wins the women's race in dominating fashion.
Sun, Aug 24, 2008 18:53:45 Rhoadsie wins it. Kindzia's off onto the run. His splits are a little off his goals but I'm sure he's not sweatin' it. He's focused a lot on the run this year and the conditions at the race changed a good bit since he started (wind, temp, rain.)
Sun, Aug 24, 2008 13:49:50 IronmanLive live vid feed down or not working for me any more. No additional splits for Kindzia.
Sun, Aug 24, 2008 10:45:25 Just saw Gordo finish the swim about seven minutes back from the leaders... live vid.
Sun, Aug 24, 2008 10:41:21 Kindzia's racin' in Canada today! No status update on his athlete tracker page yet but there is some live coverage of the pros happening.
Sat, Aug 23, 2008 18:25:07 Men's marathon @ Olympics tonight!
Fri, Aug 22, 2008 22:55:01 Ok, back from supermarket. Minivan loaded. Alarm set. Clothes laid out (or crumpled up in the front seat of said minivan.) Now I get a little Olympics Mania before bed.
Fri, Aug 22, 2008 21:03:47 Oh, crap, today escaped me. Need to make it to the supermarket to get some stuff for the workout tomorrow. Don't want to do so. Ugh.
Fri, Aug 22, 2008 18:55:49 Thankfully the rain forecast has backed off a bit for tomorrow. Looks like I need to get out early though. I'll probably get hit with some rain in the afternoon but it doesn't look like it'll be a constant rain. And, of course, the wind will be miserable.
Fri, Aug 22, 2008 12:34:26 Windy out today. And it'll be windy out tomorrow on the long ride. Wind advisory through tomorrow evening.
Fri, Aug 22, 2008 08:22:41 The 10 day weather.com Louisville forecast finally includes Ironman Louisville race day... high of 87... but it'll change a good bit as tropical storm Fay snuggles inland.
Thu, Aug 21, 2008 23:32:54 Dom's reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, a book that I've wanted to read for years.
Thu, Aug 21, 2008 23:25:31 Don't drop the baton men's 4x100. Doh! Well, the women'll get it done. Doh! Seriously!?!?
Thu, Aug 21, 2008 20:18:59 Terp and I are playing Scrabble on Facebook. It's a close match.
Thu, Aug 21, 2008 19:52:28 They're starting an investigation into the chinese women's gymnastics team. They're supposed to be 16 at some point in 2008 but an internet geek found (well, google cached) some records that say that one of their key team members is only 14. Not sure how fast or slow this'll be but it could give US gold in the team competition.
Wed, Aug 20, 2008 23:33:02 Women's beach volleyball in the rain is hawt. May/Walsh from the US gunning for gold in the final match.
Wed, Aug 20, 2008 21:04:08 Shawn Johnson gets a gold on balance beam. Nice to see it, she stayed positive throughout despite some unexpected bumps in the road.
Wed, Aug 20, 2008 20:08:00 Lolo Jones, heartbreaking to watch. Sooooo close to gold in the women's 100m hurdles but clipped the 9th hurdle. Showed her emotions in the tunnel afterwords... harsh, knowing what she's done to get there. It was from last night's tivo so I hope I'm not spoiling for anybody. I spoiled myself on the men's 200m today when I accidentally clicked onto nbcolympics.com... doh.
Tue, Aug 19, 2008 22:28:58 More olympics mania! I'm behind by a day but I just saw Nastia get the silver in the uneven bars... she was robbed. Lame.
Tue, Aug 19, 2008 19:56:56 Went to GNC to get some whey protein. Asked the lady working there about probiotics for the immune system. She broke out "the book" of all of their stuff and looked up "immune system." In the list I spotted bovine colostrum. Bovine colostrum? Uh, no thanks. We both got a good chuckle out of it. "Not many people would actually know what that was," she said. I realized a few minutes later that she might have thought I had cancer when she said "many of our other cancer patients use aloe." I went with it. Nice lady. 5lbs of whey protein and no probiotics, or bovine colostrum, came home with me.
Tue, Aug 19, 2008 11:55:10 Gymnastics on NBC... it's fantastic!
Mon, Aug 18, 2008 15:11:06 Headache over-the-countered to a mild existence.
Mon, Aug 18, 2008 08:07:54 Splitting headache today. I think the increased frequency of headaches is caused by the caffeine I'm using on big workout days. Something Danielle said made me realize this.
Sun, Aug 17, 2008 11:18:06 Made myself a banana, pineapple, whey protein and yogurt smoothie this morning.
Sat, Aug 16, 2008 23:57:04 Holy crap, Usain Bolt in the 100m men's final. World record, destroys the field while mocking them. Wow. That said, I feel disrespected because he didn't run as fast as he could have... he was celebrating and decelerating with 15 meters to go. I'd like to have seen what he was capable of doing. Smart marketing, poor sportsmanship. Lance always respected the yellow jersey and traditions of the Tour. I guess there aren't such traditions in sprinting.
Sat, Aug 16, 2008 23:40:28 Phelps does it. Eight gold medals. Great final relay race.
Sat, Aug 16, 2008 20:30:58 Phelps goes for eight tonight on olympics mania. I missed the cycling track finals today.
Sat, Aug 16, 2008 20:10:34 Best salad ever. Garden-grown tomatoes. Avocado. Fresh basil. Soft mozzarella cheese. All chunked and stirred in a bowl with some light evoo. Ate two big bowls and loved it.
Fri, Aug 15, 2008 01:57:54 Watched the women's individual gymnastics event. Pretty dramatic with a US gold-silver. I was rooting for Nastia Liukin to win and she took home the gold. Amazing to witness live a person achieving their life's dream, especially given the scale of the dream in this case. Also watched Phelps do another two swims. I've been able to catch most of his swims thus far.
Wed, Aug 13, 2008 18:43:54 Terp and I are playing Scrabble on Facebook.
Tue, Aug 12, 2008 15:44:26 And Kindzia called too! Talked about office hours, family, fishing and even a little triathlon!
Tue, Aug 12, 2008 15:24:06 Just talked to Dana Greene of Get Fit Atlanta. Very nice and happy to talk about tech stuff with her.
Tue, Aug 12, 2008 14:47:02 Kinda bummed that I won't be able to get my olympics mania on tonight because we have no cable. Maybe in a few days we'll be able to get it turned back on.
Tue, Aug 12, 2008 10:06:30 No cable or bandwidth at the house. It's our fault. And it's awesome. {sarcasm}
Tue, Aug 12, 2008 07:48:59 No alarm clock this morning. Trying to refresh my sleep by working out in the afternoons. Still, I'm up at 7am. Had hoped for a little more sleep time.
Mon, Aug 11, 2008 23:56:06 Olympics mania continues! Phelps gets another two gold. Now the men's gymnastics team is executing some amazing sticks on the high bars. Fun to watch!
Mon, Aug 11, 2008 17:40:27 The Bejing opening ceremony fireworks were faked!? Not transparent. Lame. Bad precedent. Unacceptable.
Mon, Aug 11, 2008 00:06:10 That was an amazing relay! I was yelling like crazy at the end. Heather text messaged me from her bedroom: "pls be quiet." We beat the trash-talking French and did so as underdogs. Phelps' quest for eight gold medals still alive. Lezak's closing leg sealed the deal. Amazing race! Just amazing! Doesn't matter what nation you're from, that was inspirational!
Sun, Aug 10, 2008 23:35:56 MENS 4 x 100M FREESTYLE RELAY U.S. GOLD!!!!!
Sun, Aug 10, 2008 22:00:41 Olympics mania at our house! Women's gymnastics prelims... looks like the US team will get to the finals but wow did we have a number of screw ups.
Sun, Aug 10, 2008 19:34:14 Watching some Olympics. Synchronized diving.
Sun, Aug 10, 2008 18:31:36 Looking forward to some Olympics action tonight.
Sat, Aug 9, 2008 18:46:51 Headache 90% gone. Marc coming over for UFC tonight. Paul C in NC with snakes... oddly I saw two snakes yesterday.
Sat, Aug 9, 2008 09:44:40 Some pics of the olympic opening ceremony. Truly an amazing job done by the Chinese.
Fri, Aug 8, 2008 18:20:21 Olympic opening ceremonies on tv tonight. Looking forward to it. I haven't kept up to date with the myriad political and social issues surrounding these games. I just want to see the best in the world excel.
Fri, Aug 8, 2008 17:59:54 Some of the heat and humidity seems to have broken. Which isn't to say it's cool out for runs. But it's not quite as bad as it was.
Fri, Aug 8, 2008 09:18:45 Slept in to 8am this morning. It's by far the most rested I've felt in the last eight days. I need to work on my sleep. I've mentioned it before but it's hard to get to bed early and when I don't get up at 5am my days quickly slide into me being behind the proverbial eight ball.
Thu, Aug 7, 2008 12:32:36 Eight police cars and suvs escorting an ambulance at high speed down 400 by 285. wonder what's up.
Thu, Aug 7, 2008 05:43:05 Heading up to the Gaps to meet up with Meta Marshall.
Wed, Aug 6, 2008 14:40:35 Just got back from lunch with the Pauls... Carriere and Kindzia. Lots of great discussion... and not nearly as much about triathlon as you might think. Lots about life, finances and other stuff... sometimes as it relates to or mimics triathlon... sometimes not.
Wed, Aug 6, 2008 11:08:16 Heather tells me we're chucking our entire plastic plate inventory because it's leeching petrochemicals into all of our foods. But I love our cheap, unbreakable, battle-scarred plastic atrocities.
Wed, Aug 6, 2008 05:13:38 Oh, the saga of selling 3730 Gleneagles continues. Had somebody "under contract" but the deal fell through after an inspection. We chortled when we saw what freaked them out... tiny stuff. Amateurs. It's all being fixed and none was a big deal but these possibly inexperienced home buyers were spooked by the inspector's doom & gloom language... they always have to justify their fee by finding stuff and without real stuff they just make tiny crap look huge. Amazing how perspective affects things. Another couple (a much cooler couple, btw, who would be better stewards of the place) are hardly deterred after a walkthrough highlighting the issues the inspector found. They're looking to find a way to get the house but are doing a contingent deal where we (well, Heather and her father, my real estate posse) have to sell their house. Not an ideal deal, but one we're considering. The saga continues and Heather/Beep are doing a great job. I just wish it wasn't eating so much of their time, distracting them from their other businesses.
Wed, Aug 6, 2008 05:06:41 joereger.com blogging has been pretty lame lately people. Apologies. I always feel like I'm wasting your time with the book reportish posts. By the same token, echoing a post by Kindzia about his life in general, I'm finding that I also feel that I have few answers in life and don't want to waste your time there either. Middle ground shall be sought and hopefully it'll be better than what's happening right now.
Mon, Aug 4, 2008 20:33:11 Headache all day. Subsiding now somewhat.
Sun, Aug 3, 2008 23:08:35 With Missy, Andy and Greg on Twitter the system has more value. I may have to connect myThredz to Twitter and make them all click the "Ignore Joe" button. Of course, Twitter's all about tiny updates... maybe they'd tolerate it.
Sun, Aug 3, 2008 22:09:55 Yellowjeepgirl's posting again after a long hiatus. She's also all over Twitter.
Sun, Aug 3, 2008 21:03:46 Upgraded to Firefox 3 on the laptop. Had it installed elsewhere but hadn't made the switch because one addon hadn't been ported. Still hasn't because the developer is not responsive but somebody created a hack. Latest version is definitely faster than previous one, something that's rare in the oft-bloated world of upgrades.
Sat, Aug 2, 2008 15:06:41 Beautiful pics of the Large Hadron Collider.
Sat, Aug 2, 2008 15:00:52 Back from the ride... blogged it. Slush Puppie reward gave me a brain freeze.
Sat, Aug 2, 2008 05:43:57 Heading to the Covington Century.
Fri, Aug 1, 2008 20:31:14 Tired, which is good. Hoping to get to bed early. Getting up early to ride the Covington Century. It's going to be hot and humid. My plan is to stay with the lead pack until I explode, limp to the finish and then run for a while. Lots of people'll be there.
Thu, Jul 31, 2008 20:44:40 Another set of storms hits an already-soaked Smyrna. Power out briefly which gave me a reason to finally install the UPC (backup battery) for the three main computers so that a 2 second power outage doesn't cost me 10 minutes getting rebooted, starting apps, etc.
Thu, Jul 31, 2008 13:44:30 Big rain happening. I mean, big drops of rain.
Mon, Jul 28, 2008 16:28:02 Tried to work out on the deck for lunch today. Fail whale. Too hot and humid.
Mon, Jul 28, 2008 08:36:23 No Tour this morning. I miss it already.
Sat, Jul 26, 2008 18:57:02 At La Botana mexican restaurant. Marc's meeting me here and we're gonna see the batman movie. Leslie's out of town so the official story is that we then hit some clubs. Or, wait, was the official story that we didn't? Where's heisenberg when you need him?
Sat, Jul 26, 2008 15:29:22 Back home after the morning work session. Watching the Tour de France time trial that'll determine the outcome. Don't tell me how it ends.
Fri, Jul 25, 2008 19:19:48 Headache almost gone but still annoyingly present.
Fri, Jul 25, 2008 16:42:23 Finally made my hotel resvs for Louisville. I'm a few blocks from the finish line.
Fri, Jul 25, 2008 16:06:40 Headache all day today. Would like to get a run in. May have to settle for a less-brain-jarring indoor stationary bike ride.
Wed, Jul 23, 2008 14:54:28 Avoiding media in case somebody mentions the result of the Tour de France stage today.
Wed, Jul 23, 2008 10:27:55 Big, big, big day in the Tour. Don't tell me... I'm recording it.
Tue, Jul 22, 2008 08:16:05 Ended up successfully waking at 5am, working out and making it back home with time to spare before the meeting. TdF action recording right now. Double HC climbs today. WoOT!
Mon, Jul 21, 2008 22:54:48 I'm up too late right now. Waking up at 5am tomorrow because I need to get the workout in pre-meeting.
Mon, Jul 21, 2008 10:21:18 Good Tour de France action yesterday. Rest day today. Cav's out. Not much separation between main contenders but we did see some cracks in Cadel's armor. Menchov looking strong. Funny how often Phil Liggett mentions Menchov by saying "a man we never mention."
Sun, Jul 20, 2008 19:59:31 Back home after two birthday parties and a home showing. I'm beat.
Sat, Jul 19, 2008 17:30:39 Back home.
Thu, Jul 17, 2008 14:19:56 More doping at the Tour de France. Ricky Ricco. rTard. Jee, I wonder why you and your buddy were able to drop the rest of the pro field like they were standing still. I tell you, the problem here is that I can no longer watch any incredible performance in awe. Now I just wonder if it's the doping.
Thu, Jul 17, 2008 11:19:13 Facebook saves the day. Needed Christian's number and was able to use FB mobile to find it. I suppose Palm wants some love too.
Wed, Jul 16, 2008 12:55:28 Tour's back from a rest day. Tivoing it now. Don't tell me who wins. Vandevelde rocking the monkey. Let's see if he can back up Monday's performance. Cadel's looking solid in yellow.
Tue, Jul 15, 2008 12:19:10 Stuck in a parking garage because so many people are trying to leave for lunch at the same time. Lame.
Mon, Jul 14, 2008 11:54:34 Budweiser running "All-American Beer" commercials today, the day it announces that it's being sold to the foreign InBev for $50B. Odd. Bad planning or perception management/damage control?
Mon, Jul 14, 2008 10:52:35 Versus broadcasts the Tour de France in HD. Just figured this out today. Looks better.
Mon, Jul 14, 2008 10:11:12 Here's a vid that includes Marc riding like a mad man!
Mon, Jul 14, 2008 09:33:08 Possible offer on the house coming in today. After the ball-kick-fest that selling this thing has already been I'm not getting my hopes up... or letting my cup down. I didn't blog it because I was busy but we had a water line break in the main level kitchen and flow into the basement, thrashing drywall and forcing a professional mold cleanup/inspection. pita.
Sun, Jul 13, 2008 11:45:03 Solid storms this morning.
Sat, Jul 12, 2008 02:40:28 Actually got to be early last night because I'm getting up early tomorrow for a big workout. But now it's 2:35am and I've somehow popped up.
Fri, Jul 11, 2008 17:52:16 freegovernment.org Very interesting concept... something I've thought should happen for years. No time right now to get involved but I'm glad somebody's running with it. It'll take a generation or two to happen.
Thu, Jul 10, 2008 08:11:55 Was up until 4am last night because of the caffeine I had for the run earlier in the day. Not cool caffeine... not cool.
Wed, Jul 9, 2008 22:53:11 Just watched today's TDF stage... tivoed. Wow. Breakaway almost survived... I was rooting for him. Peleton caught with 30 yds to go. They had to open their sprint way early. Cavendish wins. Big for Team Columbia (sportswear.)
Wed, Jul 9, 2008 16:03:17 Quick trip to All3Sports today. In and out in eight minutes to get back around I-285 pre-traffic.
Tue, Jul 8, 2008 22:02:16 Been watching the Tour de France coverage. Often on in the background but I always seem to be behind. Yesterday's Stage 3 had an amazing breakaway that lived to the end.
Tue, Jul 8, 2008 22:01:25 More popup showers around the house. Love it, as always.
Tue, Jul 8, 2008 10:35:29 No headache today.
Mon, Jul 7, 2008 15:59:06 Still with the headache.
Mon, Jul 7, 2008 11:44:11 Headache hit in the early morning. Just grinding out the work day.
Sun, Jul 6, 2008 21:28:18 Melatonin a couple minutes ago to get me into bed early. Last night I got home closer to 2am than 1 and was still caffeinated so I didn't get to sleep until about 4. I slept in until 8am when Terp and Aves came knocking on my door. Tomorrow I want to be up early so I've got to use some melatonin to get my sleep shifted a little earlier. Sometimes it works. Sometimes not so much.
Sun, Jul 6, 2008 13:07:46 Decent storm just popped up around us. Watched it on radar. Hard rain and thunder right now.
Sun, Jul 6, 2008 02:00:09 Been up for about 22 hours on three hours of sleep. But thanks to the wonder of caffeine I'm sketching and awake. Yay.
Fri, Jul 4, 2008 07:26:27 Happy 4th! Good luck to everybody running the Peachtree Road Race!
Thu, Jul 3, 2008 20:43:37 Coyote in the back yard!
Thu, Jul 3, 2008 07:48:38 Was up at 5am, got dressed for the swim but was distracted by work. Got about two and a half hours of stuff done and now I'm heading out for a swim.
Wed, Jul 2, 2008 12:57:59 Got a haircut today.
Mon, Jun 30, 2008 14:55:40 Not much in the mood for blogging lately... obviously.
Fri, Jun 27, 2008 22:20:06 Wargames on AMC right now. One of my favorite movies ever.
Fri, Jun 27, 2008 21:15:09 Saw Flog Blog on Nat's FB profile and liked the formatting it uses to bring blog posts in. I've added it and uninstalled FriendFeed which could consume more sources but none that I actually used/cared about.
Fri, Jun 27, 2008 19:48:16 So remember when I said that my little rabies shot cost me ~$300 because I paid on-site? Well, apparently not. They billed us for about $4k. Gotta be a mistake... they probably charged for a full course of rabies shots, not the single administration I got. Left them a voicemail telling them of my intent to not pay, how to contact me. I was told clearly that if I paid on-site my total cost would be ~$300. If I had been told about a $4000 charge I wouldn't have given them a penny at the time.
Fri, Jun 27, 2008 16:51:23 I've got about 1000 pics that I need to post, extending over the last three months. It's a lot of work to choose them, massage them, post them and organize them into blog posts. But it's well overdue.
Fri, Jun 27, 2008 07:11:20 Good sound from The Weepies at http://www.theweepies.com/ Kelly, is this your type of sound? Nabbed the band from Kristin's profile.
Fri, Jun 27, 2008 07:09:44 Last night when I went to bed 14 Facebook friends were online. This morning, at what I now consider the late hour of 7am, I'm seeing zero online. Goose egg.
Fri, Jun 27, 2008 06:58:27 A little late getting off to the pool this morning but no worries... it's Friday people.
Thu, Jun 26, 2008 22:19:04 Kristin Grimes... now Kristin Standafer... just connected with me via Facebook. Great to hear from her!
Thu, Jun 26, 2008 19:50:45 Sitting on the back deck listening as a thunderstorm rolls in.
Thu, Jun 26, 2008 09:50:54 On way to meeting. Google Maps on my Palm is nailing my location to within a few hundred meters, sans gps.
Thu, Jun 26, 2008 08:18:38 The microblogging isn't actually supposed to be read now, dontcha know? It's the spackling... the details... that fill in the gaps of the story 30 years from now when Heather and I are on the front porch sipping iced tea thinking nostalgic thoughts about the past... while surfing our 8.6 Tbps mega intertube.
Thu, Jun 26, 2008 05:37:11 Over $90 to fill up the minivan with 87 octane this morning.
Wed, Jun 25, 2008 23:29:20 New show Wipeout is just horrible but kinda funny. Bonus: that girl from the Mercury car commercials. Thanks Japan. I guess we deserve this after the whole Baywatch fiasco.
Wed, Jun 25, 2008 18:52:24 Have had a headache all day. Annoying and distracting. Tried to take an afternoon nap but abandoned it after a few minutes... just couldn't relax. Likely culprit was dehydration... I jumped into work too quickly after the run and didn't drink a bunch of water. I've got to get better about this.
Wed, Jun 25, 2008 18:52:21 Elswick says via IM that this microblog is hard to read.
Wed, Jun 25, 2008 18:51:10 Gave my father a ride to the mechanic to pick up his car.
Wed, Jun 25, 2008 08:56:39 Nat calls me out on the century bailage: "Joe. Here kitty kitty. Seriously. Nobody likes a quitter. Don't bail on the century."
Tue, Jun 24, 2008 21:30:59 Watching a little Deadliest Catch before bed.
Tue, Jun 24, 2008 20:58:50 Trying to get to bed early so that I'm not as tired tomorrow morning.
Tue, Jun 24, 2008 15:08:06 Marc's mad because I'm bailing on the Cartersville Century. Me skinney legs just ain't up fer it.
Tue, Jun 24, 2008 15:03:22 Sunny days in Atlanta lately.
Tue, Jun 24, 2008 14:49:34 Mom's on my case to get health insurance. She's gonna pay (thanks Big C!) Dad's talking about getting a frogfire health plan going. How/when/if I'll get coverage is uncertain at best.
Tue, Jun 24, 2008 14:46:22 Tired today. I was up with imaginary attackers last night. Sometimes I just keep waking up out of dreams and think somebody's out to get me. Early mental breakdown, I'm sure.
Tue, Jun 24, 2008 07:32:47 Just installed the new Google Maps for Palm that includes MyLocation. It uses cell tower data to tell me where I am within 1800 meters. Pretty cool when combined with Google Maps in the palm of my hand.
Mon, Jun 23, 2008 15:08:41 Heading out to give my father a ride from the mechanic.
Mon, Jun 23, 2008 14:13:24 My days are always so much better when I get a good workout done in the morning.
Mon, Jun 23, 2008 05:18:10 Awake, heading to gym.
Sun, Jun 22, 2008 22:18:41 Power back on.
Sun, Jun 22, 2008 22:05:53 I guess I'll just go to sleep. Still no power. Long outage off of a fairly small storm.
Sun, Jun 22, 2008 22:03:12 Joe Reger from Hartford, CT just befriended me on Facebook.
Sun, Jun 22, 2008 21:56:09 Still out. Pretty long outage.
Sun, Jun 22, 2008 21:40:36 Power out at the house.
Sun, Jun 22, 2008 21:11:43 Gordo Byrn gains more of my respect by quoting Richard Feynman.
Sun, Jun 22, 2008 18:40:04 Popup thunderstorms in the area. One came on particularly quickly so I scooped Aves up and we watched it out the window. Aves told me to put my hand to my ear and proceeded to explain how the thunder sound comes from lightning. All this to prove that it was safe to go outside with her polka-dot umbrella.
Sun, Jun 22, 2008 14:23:42 Rusty came over with a weed whacker and a machete. He took the weed wacker and cleared 500% more biomass than I did. But I had 501% more fun and got a nice thumb blister. Saw the snake that resides in the area. Tadpoles in the stream. Bunny rabbit flushed out. The edge of the stream is now a lot cleaner.
Sat, Jun 21, 2008 12:00:21 Back home.
Sat, Jun 21, 2008 11:14:59 Errands with the fam. Bank. Babies R' Us in Douglasville. Not sure what's next.
Fri, Jun 20, 2008 21:32:45 Kendy got a Palm Centro. Now she's cool. Matt is not yet cool.
Fri, Jun 20, 2008 21:32:16 Large Hadron Collider (LHC) coming to life... first test measurements announced. The canceled SSC would have been larger. Just sayin'. I'm not bitter that I planned my life around the SSC and then as I entered college to get my degree in physics the U.S. govt canceled it. Not bitter at all. Go euros!
Fri, Jun 20, 2008 16:18:15 Ice on Mars.
Fri, Jun 20, 2008 15:08:02 Back from golf and a little real estate adventure with Lee Marks and his business partner/friend Andy. Good time and great seeing him. Waffle House, a fox and an exotic dancer were involved. We'll leave it at that.
Fri, Jun 20, 2008 07:50:09 First shot at the driving range: dead center perfect connection. All downhill from here.
Fri, Jun 20, 2008 06:28:29 Beat the headache with ibuprofen. Got back to sleep. Heading to play some par 3 golf with Lee Marks.
Fri, Jun 20, 2008 03:16:07 Up with a headache.
Thu, Jun 19, 2008 10:17:58 New phone has slightly better reception at house so calls aren't as choppy and broken up (so far, at least.)
Wed, Jun 18, 2008 20:42:27 Terp made her parmesan chicken, green beans and butternut squash. Yummy.
Wed, Jun 18, 2008 15:51:48 First post from the new phone.
Wed, Jun 18, 2008 15:04:32 Went to the Verizon Wireless store a couple miles from the house. Upgrading to the Centro cost me $5 and I can now sell my Treo 700p on eBay if I want to. Since I hadn't gotten a new phone in years I qualified for a $100 discount and then I also got a mystery rebate of $70. Sweet.
Wed, Jun 18, 2008 14:02:15 Looks like Verizon has the Palm Centro... finally.
Wed, Jun 18, 2008 08:54:26 Feeling. Very. Tired.
Wed, Jun 18, 2008 07:21:36 Up at 5 for a swim, weights and run. A couple hours of work and then a meeting at 10:30.
Tue, Jun 17, 2008 21:48:35 Enjoyed chatting with Leslie and Vanessa.
Tue, Jun 17, 2008 20:58:25 Terp and I watched some John and Kate Plus Eight. What a zoo.
Tue, Jun 17, 2008 14:26:51 Dell found my blog post and offered some help. Will have to delay following up with them until later in the day but I did want to note their response.
Tue, Jun 17, 2008 12:58:18 Mozilla.com is giving me "Http/1.1 Service Unavailable" Oh, sweet joy... somebody *else* has server problems. The error msg is intermittent and caused by their 1pm Firefox 3 launch. Oh, crap... I just failed my own geek test again.
Tue, Jun 17, 2008 10:10:37 Been struggling with pillows last week or so. I'm very pillow-sensitive. Has to be the right height, density and texture. If it isn't I don't sleep well. I've got about 9 pillows stacked up around the bed. Often the solution is to stack two pillows, one dense, one not. Because pillows degrade quickly it's a constant battle. I've tried the $60 pillows and had the same issues. Synthetic, natural, feather, etc. My current setup is a standard thin pillow under a memory foam neck support pillow. We'll see how it works tonight. Feels good on early non-sleep tests.
Tue, Jun 17, 2008 08:31:37 Firefox 3 downloads begin today at 1pm EST @ mozilla.com. Yes, this is a geek check. I fail.
Tue, Jun 17, 2008 08:15:53 Just your average typical work day ahead of me. Need to get a CompuTrainer workout in somehow. Heather needs to make it to the supermarket.
Mon, Jun 16, 2008 12:30:37 Just found out that Lee Marks, who I went to high school with, lived in Mableton six months ago. He now lives in Lawrenceville and we're trying to get out for a round of golf later this week. Small world.
Mon, Jun 16, 2008 11:13:33 Just got a call from Paul C about his bike seat. My phone is killing me... horrible reception today. Apologies Paul!
Mon, Jun 16, 2008 10:12:33 Talked to the vet. Little or no chance that a rabid dog would get better after showing signs of rabies. And no chance that an antibiotic would mask symptoms of rabies. There may be a 45 day in-house quarantine required by the state. He's heartworm negative and his other bloodwork was fine. He continues to improve and is now running around the backyard again with a slight difficulty breathing.
Sun, Jun 15, 2008 21:14:32 Congrats to everybody who did the West Point Lake tri!
Sun, Jun 15, 2008 10:48:25 Quick trip to Target for Terp. Ugh.
Sat, Jun 14, 2008 20:43:39 Bug a ton better now. Running around the back yard. I fed him some chicken nuggets and hash browns. And he drank some water... finally. Wagging his tail. Still with the breathing issue but better everywhere else.
Sat, Jun 14, 2008 18:22:15 At Don Pablos pre-nursing Emme before Sr arrives and Ava mini-melts.
Sat, Jun 14, 2008 16:46:08 More good news... Bug's doing even better. He's up, wagging his tail. He walked over to me. I gave him some bread and he went outside. He's not nearly 100% and is still wheezing but he seems even better than he was this morning.
Sat, Jun 14, 2008 13:46:42 Some good news... the drive works.
Sat, Jun 14, 2008 12:49:11 Ripped apart one of my external USB drives that failed. Connecting the drive itself directly to a motherboard to see if maybe it'll still work.
Sat, Jun 14, 2008 09:14:05 Bug's markedly better. He's wagging his tail. He got up and took a pee outside, which he wouldn't do yesterday. He ate some. And he's still not drooling. Not yet a happy camper but good signs.
Sat, Jun 14, 2008 06:53:50 Installing AVG Free 8.0 onto the laptop in the hopes that it's a little faster/less obtrusive than Norton's bloated product.
Sat, Jun 14, 2008 06:19:51 Still up.
Sat, Jun 14, 2008 05:42:05 I checked on Bug. He's alive and not drooling but he's very unhappy. He's having trouble breathing. All of which indicates it's not rabies but something stuck in his throat. We'll watch him a few more hours and then may get him in to a vet. The thinking is that they should have sedated him to check his breathing. He may have a dead bird or other animal stuck in his throat. We'll see. Very leery of getting near him, of course, given yesterday's symptoms.
Sat, Jun 14, 2008 05:31:22 Awake... checking on servers. May go back to sleep.
Fri, Jun 13, 2008 12:33:42 Arghhhh... the laptop's SSD drive is killing me. On phone with Dell to see if they can replace.
Thu, Jun 12, 2008 14:00:51 Mmmm..... Ramen noodles.
Thu, Jun 12, 2008 13:42:37 Is there any way to get the local newspapers to stop littering my driveway? Something easier than calling each and every one of them and asking them to stop? Like a No Litter list?
Thu, Jun 12, 2008 10:25:10 Remember that post a couple days ago where I was mad that I had given out my SSN to what I believe was a fake lending company? Got a call back from them today. Didn't give out any more info. Requested info from them. This time there was a number on called id. It was a different person and she sounded equally unprofessional. And she upped the pre-approved amount from $30k to $250k. I'm fairly certain they're out to scam me.
Thu, Jun 12, 2008 07:06:23 Up at 6:10 after snoozing the alarm from 5:30.
Wed, Jun 11, 2008 18:16:09 Marc's over at the house working the CompuTrainer, getting some fitness baselines.
Wed, Jun 11, 2008 15:56:10 Thunder rumbling in the background. Sweet!
Wed, Jun 11, 2008 15:01:07 Perpetually amazed at the amount of trash that our household generates.
Wed, Jun 11, 2008 11:55:50 Elswick just got out of surgery to have some cancer removed from his nose. Wishing him the best!
Wed, Jun 11, 2008 11:23:44 My laptop is really locking up lately. Likely culprit is the expensive SSD drive I put in it. Apparently Outlook doesn't work well with it. Every time I click anything in Outlook it locks everything up for 50 seconds. Killing me. Killing me.
Wed, Jun 11, 2008 06:33:43 Well, as always, distracted by work and haven't gotten to gym yet. Frustrated.
Wed, Jun 11, 2008 06:10:34 Up at 5:30 today... heading to gym.
Tue, Jun 10, 2008 21:33:16 Intertubes down at the house. Enjoyed dinner and evening with the fam.
Tue, Jun 10, 2008 19:15:10 Noting how tall the trees are around the house and in GA in general. In TX the trees are a lot shorter because the soil won't support them (nutrient-wise and stability-wise.) Wouldn't have noticed this if mom and Mark hadn't pointed it out.
Tue, Jun 10, 2008 18:57:13 Sitting out on the deck with the lappy. Box lasagna in the oven. Fam on the way home.
Tue, Jun 10, 2008 10:13:50 Sunny and clear out this morning.
Mon, Jun 9, 2008 22:49:44 Nice little popup thunderstorm this evening.
Mon, Jun 9, 2008 21:11:48 Hoping to get to bed early and then get up for a morning swim.
Mon, Jun 9, 2008 18:08:17 No fax re: loan. So I did hand somebody with bad intentions my SSN today. Damn.
Mon, Jun 9, 2008 17:06:48 Been back home for a little while.
Mon, Jun 9, 2008 14:44:51 Well F me. In the building, paid and out in about seven minutes. Restored faith in government processes... at least they nail it every now and then!
Mon, Jun 9, 2008 14:23:39 Heading up to courthouse in Marietta... just gonna get this done today.
Mon, Jun 9, 2008 14:23:06 Fire on side of highway.
Mon, Jun 9, 2008 12:57:00 May just go today and pay the fine.
Mon, Jun 9, 2008 12:29:18 Need to go to court tomorrow for expired tags. Forgot to pay online.
Mon, Jun 9, 2008 12:28:55 Slight headache.
Mon, Jun 9, 2008 10:19:50 Think I may have just screwed up. Guy called about small business financing. I had him on speaker, not paying much attention. He offered to send a pre-qualified loan thing via fax. He asked questions and I answered, again not paying much attention. Problem is, that included my social security number. Only after I gave it did I start paying attention and realized that this guy sounded phoney. Damn. Usually I'm pretty good about not giving out info to people who I'm not sure of. My gut says there's a 65% chance this guy's trying to steal my identity or do something else illegal with the info.
Mon, Jun 9, 2008 09:32:26 Last night I read some of the Vanity Fair article about RFK.
Sun, Jun 8, 2008 21:52:11 Cake was good.
Sun, Jun 8, 2008 20:27:24 Back from Publix. Cake is in the oven. About to make the frosting.
Sun, Jun 8, 2008 19:09:35 Trading Spaces playing in the background as Terp makes black beans and rice for Aves. Eddie Murphy was hilarious back then.
Sun, Jun 8, 2008 19:09:01 While Sr. and Barb were here there was a cake baking competition on TV. When they left Terp assigned me the task of heading to the supermarket to get ingredients for our own little cake. Downloaded an icing recipe... we'll see how it works out.
Sun, Jun 8, 2008 16:05:57 Done mowing the lawn. Not cool.
Sun, Jun 8, 2008 13:02:15 The heatwave I got in San Antonio last week is now settled over Atlanta. Hot days.
Sun, Jun 8, 2008 11:03:02 I did finally get to sleep last night. But I woke up a bit groggy when Aves knocked on the door looking for her presents. I asked Terp to tell her to wake up DooDah for presents. She loves presents!
Sun, Jun 8, 2008 00:24:26 With all the caffeine in my system I'd be up until Tuesday if I hadn't taken that melatonin. As is I'm still not sure it'll knock me out.
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 22:09:36 Charter sucks. But they did finally deliver 10Mbps to our neighborhood.
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 21:47:01 Got home at about 9pm. Still amped on caffeine.
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 16:59:06 North of mobile, al. Thanks to carol and mark for funding my gas out and back... at $4 about $400!
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 13:01:21 Two coffees and a krispy kreme donut. Gas break somewhere in louisiana.
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 12:49:57 frogfire phone calls have stopped... thx sr
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 12:22:04 trooper hits jackpot... car with five college girls dressed in bikini tops and short shorts breaks down, smoking. trooper with head under hood surrounded by them, likely stalling. boing chicka boing boing... wah wah.
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 12:16:45 frogfire's phone system is calling my cell every five minutes, rendering it useless. if I turn it off i'll find tons of junk voicemails. it's madening.
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 10:35:42 coffee and junk food break. dr. pepper flavored jelly bellys. interesting.
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 10:00:53 was wreck. moving again.
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 09:58:47 road construction next 3 miles. at this pace that's 45 to 60 min. lame. hoping it's just a two-lanes-to-one issue and that it'l speed up.
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 09:43:59 through houston. sun a pain as clouds have burned off, but rising above visor. had an suv trailing me for about an hour before houston traffic broke up the impromptu caravan. now stopped in traffic on a bridge over a lake.
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 07:29:38 happy about clouds, shielding the rising sun as I drive east
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 07:26:45 just finished david baldacci's stone cold... moving on to baldacci's the whole truth... all fiction this trip.
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 07:01:57 First stop to grab some coffee.
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 06:56:13 I'm trackable on gpsgate.com. u: whereisjoe p: password
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 05:53:51 Packing up the minivan.
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 01:46:26 First post from the cell phone. WoOt!
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 01:36:38 Up a little later than planned but I'll caffeinate like crazy tomorrow.
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 00:50:32 The myThredz embed is kinda ugly sitting atop the joereger.com homepage. But it's an experiment. Plenty of room to improve.
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 00:44:20 Up late. Getting up at 4:45am tomorrow morning to get on the road. Back to the ATL.
