The 9/11 Post

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

Yeah it’s a little late… bite me. I don’t really have much to say about it actually, I have more to say about the rememberances of the last few days.
What was I doing on that day? Working. As usual. Occasionally we’d get some updates on the situation, but none of us were watching it live [...]

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

Monday, September 11th, 2006

So I was on vacation last week; between saving for a house and then spending a huge wad-o-cash fixing my car this year, I didn’t have a whole lot of disposable funds for taking a trip or doing anything extravagent. But still I wanted to make something of the week and not just waste it [...]

Saturday, September 9th, 2006

I don’t really have anything wonderous or wise to say about the NiT meet-up, but I figured I’d ‘rolodex’ some of the people I met.
Kat Coble — she introduced herself as just Kat and I didn’t actualy connect her to ‘Coble’ until afterwards. If I had, I probably would have apologized for some of the [...]

Schermerhorn! Part One

Thursday, September 7th, 2006

Wow. It’s official. The Schermerhorn is open!
Last night I had the pleasure of attending a “preview concert”, essentially a dress rehearsal for Saturday’s gala. And - wow. I never imagined the acoustics could be all they’ve been hyped to be. But they are. I mean you could hear fret & reed noise in places. As [...]
