Nexus One, Ubuntu and leaving for Belgium

Sunday was a pretty low-key day, which I really needed after all the release parties and events. MJ and I headed over to Kate O’Briens for lunch, turns out they have this *great* Corned Beef Quesadilla (yes, really). I then moved the SIM from my G1 to my new Nexus One. I had been reluctant […]

Sea lions? Check! Ferry Building? Check! Coit Tower? Check!

I love doing touristy things, and San Francisco has no shortage! A couple weeks ago MJ and I headed down to Pier 39 to explore the tourist scene and satisfy my craving for battered and fried fish. …oh! And to see the sea lions! Actually, the entire trip down was to see the sea lions. […]

Starting to settle in

The cats settled in faster than I am. This move to San Francisco brought a lot of change with it. I’m living in a city for the first time, I’m living with someone again, and although I didn’t change jobs, east coast company from the west coast has brought all kinds of challenges to my […]

The Move

First: We all (MJ, the cats and myself) arrived safely in San Francisco Tuesday evening. Friday I signed over the title for Blinker to my friend Nita. MJ arrived in Philly Saturday and we spent the day running errands that couldn’t be done Sunday or President’s day. One of the tasks we needed to do […]

It is my last week in Pennsylvania

When I moved to Pennsylvania 8 years ago I didn’t really have any kind of attachment to the area, but 8 years is a long time and over these past few weeks I came to realize how deep I had sunk my roots in here. It’s been painful to pull them up for the move, […]

Philly Zoo and more move preparations

Last weekend my mother was visiting. We ended up spending much of the visit just relaxing, went out to dinner a couple of times, I introduced her to Firefly and she ended up borrowing Tru Calling after she started watching it while I was working on Monday. We did end up heading down to the […]

The Mercer Museum

I’ve been trying to visit some of the local attractions I’ve missed while living here. I know as soon as I move away I’ll realize there are a hundred other things I wanted to see before I left, I’ll just have to see those when I come back for visits! One of the things on […]

NYE and since

I had a fantastic time with MJ while he was visiting over New Years. To celebrate we met up with some friends in Old City Philadelphia for dinner at Triumph Brewing. I had been to their location in New Hope never been to the one in Philadelphia, and I have to say I prefer their […]

2009 was…

Full of freedom, adventure, travel, love, success, independence and fun. Sprinkled with just a bit of heartbreak, loss, failure and confusion. In all, the good far weighed out the unfortunate, it was a good year. Looking forward to 2010 being even better!

Movies, Christmas, broken Blinker, the move, F/OSS

I saw The Princess and the Frog with Nita the weekend before last. The verdict? I loved it, probably my favorite movie of the year. It’s no secret that I love Disney animated films, but aside from the standard Pixar gems, none have really captivated me like this one did since Lilo and Stitch back […]
