100,000
It’s official. I crossed the 100,000 mile plateau for the year. 100,540 miles as of Dec. 6. A few more flights this year to take. I’ll end up right about 105,000 for the year.
After I took a picture of myself on a flight a month or so ago, a friend suggested I start to take a picture on every flight. So, being the full on narcissist I am, I obliged and thus now started a set on...
technology and me
I travel a lot. 96,000 miles so far this year and will go over the 100,000 mile mark by weeks end. One of my good friends sent me an email this morning with a link to Fire Eagle, in an effort to help me let people know where I am at any given moment. This particular friend doesn’t really love his current job and is often looking for things to do to occupy his time. So part of me believes...

Obama and Marketing
I’ll probably write more about this later and i’m sure i’m not the first to go down this road, but as i read this morning about the launch of change.gov and the stats of Obama’s myspace, facebook and the like pages, i’m wondering if we just witnessed the most brilliant marketing campaign in american history. i voted for our president-elect. i believe he is the best...

The Election
Location: Chicago, IL
Highlights: Another full day at the office. Got my bike pedals finally on and my brakes fixed.
Posted from: My Couch
I’ve wanted to post something about the election but wasn’t sure I’d be able to convey all my thoughts in a proper manner. I missed the debate the other night (I plan on watching it on youtube soon) but watched these today and wanted to...

i missed two days of this. it only took me three days to miss a day. impressive. so i’m post dating this blog to cover the two days i didn’t post anything to remind myself that i failed. i’ll follow with a lyric from a song that is somewhat fitting and one of my favorite lyrics…
NBA
Location: Chicago, IL
Highlights: Another day at work, followed by a surprise call with 4 tickets to the Bulls game
Posted from: My couch
I hate the NBA. tonight was the best reminder one could have. Free tickets in what are $120 seats. First off, way to expensive for the seats I was in, secondly, not that good of seats. The game was so in credibly boring and the officiating in the NBA is...
Nostalgia
n. A bittersweet longing for things, persons, or situations of the past.
Nostalgia makes me think of the 50s for some reason. As if the use of the word in modern terms is disrespectful to it’s definition or intent. I spent a few hours with some friends from high school yesterday. The type of friends who I rarely communicate with, but seeing each other is always easy and catching up takes...

Posting From: My Hotel Room Courtyard by Marriott
It takes a certain confidence to write a book. a certain acceptance that someone wants to hear what you have to say. an assumption that someone cares what you think or what you’ve experienced. the same goes for blogging or online journaling. that is if...
