Secrets

I got back from Boston late Wednesday night, and Thursday was an absolutely crazy day (all good things, I promise).  Last night I found a few minutes to transfer my new batch of beer into a secondary fermenter where it will continue to bubble into beery goodness.  Should be ready to go next weekend.  Speaking of weekends, I’m flying out early this afternoon, I will provide more details publicly tonight sometime.

I was randomly poking around the Washington Post website when I found a most interesting article about Secrets, like the kind you never tell anyone.  Apparently a man in Germantown, MD solicits people to send him their secrets, creatively written on postcards, which he incorporates into a traveling display.  He also posts them to his blog (syndicated as []).

Going to Boston!

Things at work tend to come in spurts, and the past month has definitely been at the top of the roller coaster in terms of number of projects coming to a climax.  With that, I’ll be headed to Boston tomorrow morning to work on a new project.  It also looks like I’ll have the opportunity to catch up with a friend of mine.

On a slightly unrelated note, I have finally uploaded all of the pictures I took while in Italy for Thanksgiving.  I’m really not sure why it took so long to get them posted, but I definitely wanted to get them up there before something catastrophic happened to my laptop hard drive (it has been known to happen!).  Feel free to check them out!

I’ll be staying at a hotel tomorrow night in Boston that was specifically chosen for both proximity to the work site as well as the availability of high-speed, wireless internet access.  Woo hoo!

Tornado Pictures

I uploaded the pictures from Friday night’s tornado at the AT&T datacenter. Feel free to take a look at them here. I went to the datacenter on Saturday to take these, and I also had to get in to do a little work. They told me that it was still a safety hazard (apparently some of the customer equipment there did get wet, just not ours). I told the lady that I had been there the night before, and to my surprise she said she recognized my name! That must have been worth something, because she did let me in for a few minutes so I could do my work.
