Life and Times of an Infrastructure Architect

After 4 years of diligent blogging, I've decided it's time to close my livejournal account. All posts have been removed, and will not be returning. It's been real.

It was a gray day and I was pretty restless.

Mike took me to a Juno Reactor show last week.. The music was .. painful, as was all the pot smoke. However, the lighting was absolutely fantastic.

When I moved away from San Francisco, I was miserable and Jennifer was hoping I would love Seattle. I hated Seattle which made Jennifer sad that I didn't seem to love either San Francisco or Seattle.

One day Jennifer told me "OK, you need to choose. You can hate Seattle, or San Francisco; just not both of them." I choose to give my heart to San Francisco"

Jennifer made me this pie last week to celebrate.

Just an interruption to our regularly scheduled programming to let you know about my mightyness.

I believe this was the night we threw a wake for the guitar player from the eddie haskells. Selena on the left, Nicole on the right. Circa 2003. I can't believe it's been over five years since this was taken.

I have 29 days to return them.. Something about them doesn't feel right but maybe it's just because I was so used to my old specs.

What do you think?

I took this yesterday on the way to lunch with Linda and Daniel. The benefit of having a laptop/camera backpack is I'm always ready for those perfect moments. Linda and Daniel were annoyed that I told them to go ahead, but I couldn't resist taking this shot.

I did a tiny bit of post-processing on this. Specifically I enhanced the blue channel by about 10% and fixed the white balance.

Taken from the rooftop garden in my Belltown Apartment Building. The white building in the background is a big Seattle datacenter hub, Fisher Plaza.

Thursday, August 7th is my 29th birthday. You should come eat and drink with us!
