  • Trip To NYC :)

    We went to NYC for the last couple of days. We took my new car and fought the traffic all the way down there. Once there we stayed at the Murray Hill Hotel. Our room was great with a front room and kitchen. On the first night we went to the Hard Rock Caf

  • BHL Will Be Back

    I couldn't sleep so I got up and updated a shit load of pages on my site updating them to my recent address and phone number. Also at work when I have been waiting on a compilation I have been working on my hockey simulator. BHL will be back…and it should be fun. Well better…

  • Ray Charles

    Last night was pretty cool. The crowd on the green (Park in New Haven) reached 100,000 at last count. Absolutely huge. I got a glimpse of ol Ray. Pretty cool. Next week there is another concert, thinking about going. We bring cheese, crackers, wine, chairs, and hang in the cool summer night. Absolutely great time.

  • Racing Gets Hot

    Last weekend I went to a race here in Wallingford CT. The trails are just about 12 minutes away from here. I ride there all the time. You would think that I would do well….but the heat really took its toll and I ended up with heat exhaustion. At least I finished the race. It…

  • Lime Rock Race

    Ah, last weekend was quite the adventure, let me tell you. It all kicked off on a sunny Saturday, the kind that screams “road trip!” My mission? To rendezvous with my buddy Ed Smith at his mom’s place in Wappingers Falls, NY. But, plot twist, I had to play the waiting game for my new…

  • Connecticut Is Not That Bad

    This weekend was absolutely awesome. Friday was a bit bad because Suzy didn’t get here until 2 AM Saturday morning. Once we got a little sleep we set out driving in my new car. We drove down the Merret parkway and went to an awesome Mexican restaurant. After that we went to a digital theater…

  • 200 This Weekend

    I have put on 200 miles on my bug in the last two days. I drop it off next week for simonizing. The only problem that I have had is that the tape player doesn't work. Minor stuff. Suzy come to visit this weekend and I am very excited. I hope her car makes it.…

  • Will I Get A Beetle

    My car broke down yesterday again. This time the transmission blew up. I am in the proces of trying to get a loan to get a new car. I always wanted a bug. Today I go to VW of Fairfield to attempt a new car purchase. Stay Tuned!

  • ISP Troubles

    I am having trouble with my internet service providers. I am attempting to update this page without the use of my computer at home. SNET internet seems to want to block all ftp and e-mail access to other servers. Today I will cancel my service with them. Other then that I am still exploring all…

  • Second week

    The second week in Hamden went better than the first. I have found some great biking, both road and mountain. Work has been great as I have been given some projects in my favorite language. I am starting to think about starting the BHL back up, but I will learn flash first. I am still…

  • Exploring

    I have found some riding and have spent most of my time exploring. There are some real kick ass singletrack just around the corner. Today I am going to a bike shop called Amity Bike. Someone says that it is the premier bike shop to stop at to find out about bike rides and races.…

  • Car Pick Up Day

    I pick up my car this morning. It will be very interesting on how to get there on the bus lines. New Have is very funky. New Haven to my surprise, is a very cool city. Cool modern architecture as well as old Roman style. Getting the car will be nice but the cost is…

  • Bad News

    Bad news all the way around. At work they are moving me out of the division that I have grown to love and fit in. They are moving me to another that deals with moving a programming language to another. Very boring work. I am thinking about refusing. On the outside, my car is becoming…

  • Golf in Shop, Now Commuting

    It is hump day and I don't have a car. I dropped it off at a transmission place and that is where it has stayed. Tomorrow I take the buses and trains to work and back. I am however starting to fit in at work and it is actually really exciting and fun. I don't…

  • First Day At Work

    Tomorrow is my first day at work and Ill get out of here at 7AM since my clutch is out on my car and I might have to walk or take the bus. I am finally on the internet. I tried them all and they (ISPs) are crap. I found one that I like. It…

  • Moving Into Hamden

    Hello from Hamden CT. I have moved in and plan to get a couple of cam shots soon. The hardest part of the move has been setting up the damn computer and hooking up to the internet. I wont have service for another three weeks. In the meantime I will use NetZero.com. Technology is eating…

  • Farewell, Plattsburgh! (But Seriously, Where’s the Wi-Fi?)

    Yo Plattsburgh peeps, brace yourselves for a mic drop. Yep, your resident wordsmith is bidding adieu today. Consider this my swan song, my emotional goodbye, even if it comes across the internet like a high school yearbook message scribbled in glitter pen. Buckle up, it’s gonna be a feels-fest. Now, picture this: moving boxes overflowing…

  • Confirm My Graduation, Damn It

    Today I take my car to find out what it will take to fix it. I may be renting a uhaul to get home. Damn car. Also I have to go to PSUC and try to wrench my graduation confirmation from their greedy hands.
