In 2002 we bought a company in the Bay Area… they were a Mac-only ISP, that (typical of the days) did a little bit of everything… hosting, colo, access, development, dial-up, DSL, T1s, car washes, prostitution… *anything* to make a buck.

Sorry I haven’t written much about hockey this year. I’m on vacation this week, in conjunction with the Winter Olympics so no time like the present to cover the subject. I LOVE tournament hockey. I had to stay off the skis today because my ski boots had not yet arrived, so I’m at my parents … Continue reading “USA vs Latvia”
OK, I’m beyond a full week now without my PowerBook. You know the last time I had a powerbook repaired was back in the “bad old days” of a “beleaguered Apple” (remember those?)

While some of the rule changes are for … Continue reading “Cool, Hockey’s Back. 10/8/05”
Yesterday’s entry ended: “I imagined a nice short day at work, followed by some analog therapy of fixing my car, and a nice drive home with the top down.” If this were a movie those words would have an ominous sound track playing behind them. Since it is just a blog, you’ll have to imagine … Continue reading “How I spent my 42nd Birthday. 10/5/05”
Every year I take my wife and kids to Colorado to visit my parents. We usually go in February so we can (surprise!) get some skiing in too. This year I did not make it, instead I had to stay behind and work, managing our move to a new facility. The wife and kids went, … Continue reading “What I Did On My Summer Vacation. 9/11/05”
