As I mentioned yesterday, I was fitted for prescription glasses for the first time last weekend. What I didn’t post is how uneasy the process made me feel.
For those of you (like the old me) with perfect vision, you might be shocked to learn how much of a subjective process an eye exam is. [...]
Since I have spent so much time in airports this year I thought it might be useful to share my thoughts and methods for making holiday travel as painless as possible. If I was going to be flying with my family for the holidays we would follow every single one of these tips.

When I moved my music onto my new Leopard install, I somehow created duplicates of about half the songs. Removing a few duplicates in iTunes is a breeze; removing thousands is a serious PITA.

Yesterday I dropped my bike off at Boswells to get the oil changed and have a few bolts replaced so that I can install the backrest. Tomorrow, I will install the backrest and load the bike down with camping gear, business attire, my laptop, and some cameras. That will be the beginning of [...]
Next week I will be working onsite with a client in Washington, DC (technically in Tysons Corner, but that is close enough). Coincidentally, my Dad is going to be visiting my Sister in Williamsburg, VA this weekend. The plan is that I will go up a little early on Sunday and we will [...]
I sent out an email yesterday to invite a select group of statzen alpha users. I am moving forward even if I don’t know how I am going to get from here to where I want to go.
