Don’t know why, but Melody and I always seem to leave town on Fridays just at the right time to hit traffic. This time around, we got out of work a little early, headed home to get Melody’s stuff (I packed the night before in case she was just going to pick me up from [ Read More ]

Today was day two of the Future Web conference here in Raleigh. There are some really impressive people here that are on the panels for the sessions. The problem is that they aren’t really showcasing their awesomeness. I sat in a Future Entrepreneurship session today, and although i was kind of inspired to think of [ Read More ]
I’ve been to two conferences in the past 3 weeks. Today was the start of a 3rd….”Future Web” here in Raleigh. I don’t know why, but I’m finding it difficult to get motivated to attend. I really like the session topics, and I am really interested to hear what the speakers have to say, but [ Read More ]
If i tried to write a long blog post today, it would inevitably end in failure. Today, from the very beginning nothing really went right. Every problem that surfaced was just a big wormhole of other problems waiting to be discovered. It was like I had solution-based A.D.D. Every time i got close to solving [ Read More ]
Tonight Melody and I had an old friend from Lees-McRae visit. She was in town from out of state to visit family, and she came by for dinner and conversation. Dinner was awesome…Melody made fajitas that were pretty spectacular….their awesomeness was only outdone by the anti-awesomeness with which Melody wrapped her fajita. It was like [ Read More ]
After having a little breakfast at a really good place in Boone (“Melanies”) and catching up with a couple of old friends from Lees-McRae, Melody drove us back to Apex. We expected to drive back into the rain and storms we’d heard about, but that wasn’t to be. A quick look at the sky told [ Read More ]
Every year, those of us still connected with the program travel back to Banner Elk to play against the current Lees-McRae Soccer team. This year was a little different, being that there was a new coach who has only been there for a few weeks. The former coach, Chris Whalley left for a Division I [ Read More ]
I had forgotten to post my nomination information for the “Award for Excellence” that i received a few weeks ago. Here it is… 2010 OIT/NC State Awards for Excellence Nomination Nicholas Young This letter is in strong support of Nicholas “Nick” Young for a 2010 SPA Award for Excellence. Nick is being nominated in the [ Read More ]
So, leaving the conference, i picked up my bags at the hotel, and because it was raining (and I didn’t want to start a long night of flying by being soaked), I jumped in an airport shuttle. An hour later (their promise was 25 minutes) we arrived at the airport, only 15 minutes before one [ Read More ]
So, on the way to the airport, I was sitting next to a man and woman who had just attended the AdTech conference (which was being held at the Moscone Center for the past 2 days). For starters, the guy was on the phone for the first 15 minutes talking to a new employee of [ Read More ]
