Snow? In PORTLAND? IN MARCH? Has the world gone mad?!?

Bad start, good ending

Date March 28, 2008

For some reason, I’ve found that when I have a bad day at work, the Lucky Lab Brewpub on Hawthorne is where I go.  I’m not sure if it’s because it’s convenient or because I always have bad days on Mondays when they have cheap pints.  Either way, I found myself at the Lucky Lab [...]

Miscellaneous musings

AT&T is killing me today.  First they drop all data connections for two of my users’ BlackBerry handhelds, then they start bouncing back our emails sent to their various domains claiming my firm is spamming.  Bah!  Clearly they’re in error, but it’s going to take them a day or two to get it sorted out.

@icelander There’s a special place in hell for people like you with child molesters and people who talk in movie theaters.

Some additional notes

Date March 12, 2008

Hanne and I did end up going climbing today, though she was feeling so unmotivated and lazy we almost didn’t.  I’m glad we did, though, as I managed to reach the top of another route (technically, an easier route than the other two I topped yesterday) and Hanne came every close to beating her White [...]

Reach for the sky

Date March 12, 2008

Hanne and I have been climbing every day this week so far, and I have a feeling we’ll be doing it at least once or twice more.  As you might have surmised, we’re really enjoying it and considering springing for the annual packages that would let us climb as often as we like in addition [...]

One-shoulder climbs

Date March 10, 2008

Climbing is something that I always liked to do, though I haven’t done it in about 15 years.  I used to climb trees as a kid to the point where I even had paths up different trees.  When I was in middle school, I used to climb on a climbing wall they had there once [...]
