Holiday Recap

January 3, 2008

Finally back home from the holidays.

I went back to Georgia to spend Christmas with my family. It is always great to see them and to have a chance to relax a bit. I got the chance to see both sets of grandparents which I always enjoy. Got my BBQ and Varsity fixes. You just can’t find good BBQ in California.

I flew back to California on the 30th and within a few hours of arriving, Vlad was driving us up to Tahoe. Spent New Year’s Eve with friends from hockey in Truckee. Only went snowboarding one day and only did one run — my ankle was killing me. Not sure what is wrong, but need to figure it out. Several of us went to Reno to play some craps. Alyssa Milano showed up at our table for a while. She was very pleasant and witty. She was beautiful but much shorter than I thought. She was rolling the dice for a long time and made everyone some money.  We saw her arrival as a good omen — Must have been as we all left with a lot more money than we started with. Not a bad way to start off the new year.

I’m rested up and ready to get back to normal. Should be an exciting year.

Over the hill

May 8, 2004

Well, its that time of year again when my age increases and I get closer to needing a cane to walk. Finally 23 now. Did I really move out to California when I was 18? Seems so long ago now. After all these years I’m still the youngest person in the office, but hopefully someday soon that will change.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone went out and partied last night and had a good time! I know I did.

4 Year Anniversary

July 1, 2003

I’ve been at Netscape for 4 years now. I was hired just after I turned 18 and straight out of high school. (plug: See me in the Netscape/Mozilla documentary.) Moved from my little town in Georgia out to this big, new, and exciting place. Sunny Silicon Valley. Moving 2000+ miles from my family and friends to a place where I didn’t really know anyone was tough, but the people here were great and treated me like family.

Twenty Two

May 8, 2003

It is that time of year again. No, not Christmas. My Birthday. The last 2 hours feel pretty much the same as the 2 hours before. I’m not too sure that this is a very useful birthday. 21 may have been the last big birthday for quite some time. Oh well. Oddly enough, it appears other things have happened on my birthday in the past.
