How I’m Livin’

Blowing dust off the site… Here’s what I’ve been up to:

• This summer = Project Destroy Backyard
• Gathering signatures. While others work to solve the world’s problems or volunteer in their community, I’ve been passing around a petition to remove the “No Parking” signs that now line my street. People power!
• Finally upgrading Wordpress, the tool that publishes this blog. Making the jump from 1.5 to 2.2. I never thought that importing data from one Wordpress site to another could be so bloody difficult.
• Watching Simon drink out of his new kitty fountain.
• Looking forward to… BarCamp Raleigh/Durham
• Super stoked to find out my sister is getting married this fall!
• Waited in line with about 100 other foolz to get an iPhone.  To make this happen, I had to promise Sarah I would be happy for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, I did have to get it replaced already. Two days after turning over my credit card to the AT&T store a rubber strip that seals the optical glass started to come unglued. Awesome. After spending only 1.5 hours with an Apple “Genius” I had a new replacement in hand. So, hat tip Apple. There a million reviews out there, but if you read just one check out Gizmodo’s great, no-BS review (their verdict: hold off for now).
• Swimming a lot. Playing ping-pong too. Sarah is a pong prodigy.
• Ready for Carolina Brewery to open their ChathamCounty location.
• Heading to Blowing Rock this weekend to attend the wedding of our friends Dirk and Tilley.
