December 31st, 2011 by pleia2
The biggest news of 2011 for me was MJ surprising me on July 1st with an absolutely amazing marriage proposal in Sonoma.

Prior to that my month was quite busy with work, a bit of a fractured schedule that resulted in a couple afternoons off during the week and loss of a couple weekend days. This weekend I’m enjoying my first full weekend since Thanksgiving and […]

November 27th, 2011 by pleia2
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 […]

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.

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 […]
