Tea anyone?

As many of my friends know, I am an avid tea drinker. In fact, I don’t think there is a type of tea I don’t like. While waiting on the Apple store guys to put RAM in the Mac Mini I bought today, I went walking around the mall. Near the Apple store I was strangely drawn to this ... Continue Reading

Cayman Islands Day #1

Follow up to yesterday’s adventures…

So today I set out to get my tires fixed. Trying my best to get work done too, I decided to work from home while I follow up on what it’s going to cost me.

California DOT/DOM, My car thanks you!

So I guess maybe I should start at the beginning. Beginnings are good and all, right? Well, this evening I was lucky enough to get luxury suite tickets to the San Francisco Giants baseball game. I also happened to get enough tickets for a couple of my friends/coworkers to go (and two of th ... Continue Reading

It’s always good to check

This week is a mildly complicated travel week for me (or was going to be). With the original flight plan, I would leave Washington, D.C. at 7am on Wednesday and arrive in San Francisco at 9:30am.

Diving off the deep end head first…

Ok, some would say I have taken my passion for Yahoo! to an unhealthily insane level now, but I disagree completely! Today my car got wrapped finally in Yahoo! branding. It’s something I have talked about doing for a long time, just never fully committed to making a reality. Well, th ... Continue Reading

Bought a new car

Was just reminded (sad I had to be reminded) that I somehow had forgot to write up a blog post on my new car. Back in the end of April (20th to be exact) I bought a 2006 Honda Accord V6. It has GPS navigation, XM satellite radio, and every premium option. Gas mileage, while not the best, i ... Continue Reading

Anyone ever heard of “Kite Tubing” ??

I had never heard of it before, but apparently my father just bought one of these Wego Kite Tubes. They seem really intense and man I can’t wait to try it in 3 weeks. Below is one of the best videos I have found so far on it. Let me know what you guys think of it. Would you ride ... Continue Reading
