Fun With Wordage

5 business days off (plus almost 2 weekends surrounding it) results in well over 1,000 emails (after sorting spam) and a few thousand items in my RSS reader.
3 power hours of working at it, and I’m down to < 250 email and only about 1,500 items in my RSS reader. Should be able to [...]

A week ago I came back from St. Maarten, an island known for it’s weather and beaches. There are a few ways to tell a good beach from a great one:

Clean beaches.
Evidence that topless tanning is allowed.
Signs like the one to the left warning you of death by heavy metal.

A beach with an active [...]

I was away last week… 3700+ emails (thankfully mostly spam) to process.
Have some video and photo goodness to get up here at some point, but that won’t happen until this weekend at the earliest since I’ve got some catching up to do. I suspect I won’t be blogging much this week as I do [...]

Here’s an article on the Top 10 Airports in the World. They are billed as great places to pass time while waiting. And boy is this article a load of manure.
I’ve flown out of John F. Kennedy International Airport (though not the mentioned Terminal 6), connected at Los Angeles International Airport (with a [...]

I’m back from vacation. Like two years ago, I spent some time in Holland visiting family, and then some vacation time in Spain (Mallorca to be exact), then back to Holland for a day and a half. Just starting to catch up on things, so be patient if your expecting a reply from [...]

Back from a week away in sunny Aruba [CIA Factbook | Wikipedia]. Beautiful sunny weather, resort, beaches, food. Saw Geraldo Revera [perhaps better link], (apparently staying in the same hotel on our floor, or the one above) and Greta Van Susteren (not sure if she was staying there or another hotel in the [...]

Well, I did watch a little TV (mostly CNN Int.), but what happened?

Terror Alert went up (again)
McGreevey comes out of the closet (and leaves office)
Rick James Dies
Olympics Starts

About a bazillion emails, and over 1000 blog spam.
Needless to say I’ll need a few days to get things back in order, so be patient.

I’m back from 2 weeks abroad. Where did my travels take me:
Amsterdam, Holland
Mas Palomas, Spain

Some general notes:
Flying

Male flight attendants dress like pilots while female’s look like nurses.
Flew over Paris France (oh no, I violated the boycott… yawn) late at night, said hello, no reply. I guess you were all sleeping.
50% of all in-flight [...]

I’m back from a week in Florida. Good relaxation, no computers, no code, no internet, no server issues, no geeky stuff, just fun in the sun (and occasional rain).
But I did do one thing quite geeky… got to ride a Segway. Takes a few minutes to learn to trust it (it’s more powerful [...]

Weekend across the pond… but I’m back in the States (well, I was yesterday… but now I’m posting again)
