Fry’s

One excellent thing about Austin is that there is a Fry’s electronics right around the corner. Some of you know about Fry’s and some don’t so I will explain.
Fry’s is a store for Geeks. Imagine if you took the best part of Barnes and Nobles (the computer section) All of Best […]

Travel

Air travel loses its glamour quickly. I like the part when your actually in the air moving at 520mph but that unfortunately is a small part of the total experience. There’s the going to the airport, finding parking, going to the counter, going through security, waiting, waiting, waiting, then flying.

doh!

They stocked my apartment with a broom, but they neglected to provide me with a dustpan.

Comments on Austin

This is from an email I sent to a friend earlier last week:

hasnt been too hot. I expect that to change. The
barbecue is pretty good and I’m looking forward to
finding some good Mexican.
Austin is too Texas what Ann Arbor is […]

New Pics

… In the Gallery under Austin2. Got some pics of Dell, a real live Texas cactus, a nice house, and a scenic vista.

The Saga Continues

The Saga of the battling stylesheets that is. I’ve got it pretty close now. If you click between home and Gallery you’ll notice the subtle text change. I’m trying to kill that and its coming from some unknown interaction between formatting and the default MT stylesheet.
We’ll get there. Also notice the […]

updated site

went a long way last night toward updating the site. Movable Type is up and working. the main lengthy process is, as always, messing with the formatting til it looks good.
