My energy the past few weeks has left something to be desired, so much of my energy has been spent at work on a major project. During the week following the Ubuntu Developer Summit I hosted an Ubuntu Hour in San Francisco where I had great chats with Michelle Mastin and Evan Broder and toward […]

“I’m going to Disney World!”
October 24th, 2011 by pleia2
I am a Disney animated features fangirl. My bedroom growing up was full of Disney toys (ok, Star Wars too), every Christmas my parents would get me the latest Disney VHS and accompanying lithograph and watch from the Disney Store. In those days before the web, I once sent a letter to Disney asking for […]

Born in Atlanta, Georgia at 12:35 Eastern on September 29th 1981, I am now over 30 years old. I had a nice birthday. I wasn’t able to take the afternoon off as I have in years past since I have a lot of travel coming up and we’re very busy right now. As soon as […]

Uncle Keith, travel, office, pools and food
September 22nd, 2011 by pleia2
I lost my Uncle Keith to cancer on Friday, September 16th (obituary). It was an expected loss and I am glad I was able to spend some time him earlier this month. We weren’t close, and any condolence should go to my aunt, his wife, I know what it’s like to watch a loved one […]
Week, zoo and a news reader
September 2nd, 2011 by pleia2
I’m sitting in the San Francisco airport, my flight to Phoenix is delayed by a half hour so I’m taking the extra time to chill in the United lounge that I have access to for another month through my lounge pass. So, this past week! MJ was out of town on a work trip from […]

Back on the 10th I hosted an Ubuntu Hour and Debian dinner. For the first time we had more people at the Debian dinner than at the Ubuntu hour, with 5 people coming out to the Ubuntu Hour and 8 to the dinner. It was nice to get to catch up with some people and […]
Sea lions, SF Zoo March of the Penguins and Internets
July 31st, 2011 by pleia2
Friday evening I wrapped up work and needed some fresh air so I hopped on a street car (#1893) and headed down to visit the sea lions at Pier 39. On my way I was browsing Twitter and saw an article from The Marine Mammal Center: Rescue Efforts for Two Sea Lions Entangled in Ocean […]
Projects and Aquarium of the Bay
July 18th, 2011 by pleia2
Have I mentioned lately how nice it is to have a proper task manager? I didn’t realize how much I’d value my history of completed items or how much time I’d save until now. It’s really transforming how I allocate my time and I’m able to do a much better job of figuring out how […]
Engagement weekend
July 14th, 2011 by pleia2
As I mentioned in my last post, we spent the weekend at The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa. We began our weekend Saturday morning with a shared room service order of crab eggs Benedict and a plate of smoked salmon with cream cheese and a bagel – yum! From there it was down to […]
Our engagement
July 14th, 2011 by pleia2
Our second anniversary was July 3, 2011 and MJ told me we’d be going on a trip but didn’t tell me any of the details aside from “we won’t be going on a plane” so I could pack accordingly. On the evening of Friday, July 1st, MJ came home early and we dressed up for […]
