  • Salumi’s and Portland

    Here are some shots of my trip to Portland. I went to Salumi’s before hopping on the train. It was much better than having a bowl of Ivar’s clam chowder. There are also some shots of the practice we did today. A fairly laid back day, as you can tell. {gallery [PDXFebruary]}

  • How to Do What You Love (or hate your work less)

    Someone just pointed me to Paul Graham’s website. The first article hit home How to Do What You Love. My question now is, do I go the organic route and grow in my career to do more of what I love, or do I go the two jobs route and make money in order to…

  • Software Management Reading List

    I enjoyed looking over the titles in Joel Spolksy’s Management Training Reading List. Several books that have influenced me heavily are in there, including “Peopleware,” “The Mythical Man Month” and “the Ten Minute Manager”.

    Jordan, Chris, Heidi, Kei and I squeezed into Kei’s Mazda 323 to visit the Tacoma Glass Musuem. Here are a few pictures from the sojourn. {gallery [GlassMuseum]}

  • Toliva Shoals

    Just got back from an exhausting but very fun race from Olympia to Toliva Shoals.

My camera must have gotten salt in it, because I wasn’t able to take pictures…

  • Zee Sun!

    After months of rain, we have finally broken into a sunny streak in Seattle. I bleached out the mold in the pickup. The cherry blossoms are already beginning to bud. Even if the groundhog saw his shadow, I am ready for springtime.

  • Football season, fin

    Seahwawks loose to the Steelers, 21-10. The score does not show how close it was. But beyond talk about bad calls, everyone against the Seahawks, I am really thankful that the Seahawks got this far. I had a lot of fun cheering them on. I will be back next year.

  • Superbowl XL Party

    We’ll be hosting a superbowl party at my house at 3 pm. I should have the office projector, so it will be big screen. And we can throw things at the screen, this way!

  • Menus on Amazon

    Did you know you can search menus for selected cities on Amazon? I get the sense that this service is just a proof of concept for their book search, but it is functional for Seattle, at least.
