15/08: Sorry for the delay...
OK, been working in the new company, Infrastructure Factor Consulting, and it has kept me pretty busy. My partners, Jun and Brittany (and a third, secret partner for the moment) and I specialize in design of data centers and other critical facilities.
Jun just finished talking at Data Center Journal in San Diego; his presentation should be here pretty soon: Virtualization and managing thermal loads in the data center.
Headed back to the US soon to get things moving... wish us luck!

06/07: Legal Consultation
Lawyers (relatives aside) aren't my favorite breed. Maybe I have been programmed too much by news of ambulance chasers. Maybe I have been disillusioned by the concept of "intellectual property". Maybe it's the politicians that I really despise.
06/06: Bangkok Style
Let me offer a disclaimer before I get into this. I have no style. More accurately, I have my very own style that doesn't align itself well with any established and accepted "styles." I like yellow and black. I have a yellow and black bag, yellow and black jacket, and yellow and black shoes. I can often be seen with all three. OK, so maybe I don't have any style. (The high-visibility thing is a result of riding a bicycle in San Francisco. Better safe than sorry. But, I will admit that it doesn't really look so fashionable...)
We should have known better; I accept some responsibility. Maybe their marketing works. Going in, I expected to be disappointed, but not nearly this much!
I wanted a Burger. Marie wanted Nachos. It was too hot to stand anywhere outside. We went to Hard Rock Cafe in Bangkok.
Henceforth, it shall be referred to as Sucker Cafe.

31/05: Shopping Spree
It's known as "Retail Therapy." Sometimes it is for things you need, sometimes just for things you want. Sometimes it is just driven by our consumer programming.
01/05: OK, OK!
With a little prodding, I am finally putting something on the site again. Sorry for the delay, thanks for still visiting every so often. What to tell?
16/02: Music of the World
We don't have dsl in Thailand. We listen to our ipods when we work out, but they largely stay in the drawer otherwise. I guess maybe our 20gb of music just isn't enough.
You see, the problem is that we both embrace diversity in music (although sometimes differently).
Radio poses a special challenge for us: not knowing the song title or artist...

12/02: doh
Ok, I am an idiot.
I forgot the password for the blog.
I'll use that as my excuse for not writing anything lately.
Figured out a way around it, back in, and stuff to write about!

20/01: One of THOSE days
You go to bed with the best of intentions- an itinerary starting early, finishing late, and complete with a checklist. Balanced activities for mind, body, and soul.
In the morning, you hit snooze once, but intend to stick with the plan.
Breakfast starts a little late, and finishes a half hour later than intended.
While optimism still rules, it is going to be one of those days.
For Thailand in these times, Cha-Cha is the word for the day!

19/01: Visa Run Re-Cap
Well, it took nearly a week to recover from the Visa Run in order to be able to tell the Story...
