Michael Jackson has died! No, not that Michael Jackson, the Beer Hunter! The Beer Hunter passed away from an apparent heart attack at the age of 65. Too bad I am not drinking anymore, otherwise I would raise a glass to you, Beer Hunter. I wanted to link to his site, but it seems to be overloaded and not in service right now. Here is the article at CNN. Also... A quick thank you to DonKeyHoeTee who pointed out that my comments page was throwing an error. I coded a fix and am guilty of not checking, hehe, I thought I was "all that" and didn't need to, haha. Within minutes of fixing it, some lame ass spammer has already hit it. I will be putting up a secret word box on the comments. You will have to enter the secret word. If you know anything about me, you might have a good idea what that secret word might be.... Hmmm, perhaps some kind of "hunter"... Hmmmmm... We'll see who can figure it out by posting a comment. Just don't be a dick and reveal that word in the comments... hehe. |

Post vacation... Getting back into the swing of things, haha, two weeks later and I am still saying that. Doing some things to improve my health, as are other members of the family. More on that later... It has been going really well these past two weeks! Getting geared up for a trip to VMWorld in San Francisco, September 10-14. We'll be staying in the South of Market district, pretty close to the Moscone Center where the event will be held, no rental car needed. We'll be pretty busy and there won't be much time for touristy stuff, but, we'll get some in. If we can get to the hotel quick enough, we're thinking about ditching the bags and heading to AT&T Park to catch a Giants game. The stadium is pretty close by and from I have seen, impressive looking, and right on the bay. We're also within walking distance of the Powell and Market cable car station. Looking forward to that excursion. The event is also sponsoring a big party on the 12th. Should be a good time. I expect to learn plenty and get many, many, many more ideas on how better to utilize virtualization technologies. Kids are gearing up for school... All that school shopping stuff is done. Mike's first year in middle school and Sam's second year of high school. Damn I am getting old!! We went GeoCaching last Saturday around here and picked up another 7, I think it was 7... We're up to 83 or so, we started this year in the upper 50's!! It was fun to get out with the family. Was recently contacted by a cousin I never knew! Pretty cool because I have pictures of her, her Mom and Dad, and my Mom and Dad back in about 1964 at a beach, maybe the ocean. They were in Philly at the time. This site has been good for getting some contacts. If you're into that genealogy stuff, get a domain name with your name in it! A big howdy to Kathleen out there in San Diego! Too bad VMWorld isn't there!! I'd skip a few sessions to meet her and her family! We ditched our land line telephone! We have gone with all cell phones now. I upgraded my phone to the Palm Treo 700wx and Mike took the hand me down. In these last few weeks it has made a huge difference!! Much quieter around here. I don't really think I will appreciate it until those bastard politicians start the onslaught of automated phone dialers and canned digital messages. Screw those bastages!! |

We made it home yesterday and spent the better part of yesterday vegging out and getting unpacked. Michelle is the terminator of unpacking... Damn! We took 100's and 100's of pictures. I have been working on getting them off the laptop and onto the desktop and working through some of them. Have also been busy uploading images to GeoCaching.com from all the caches we hit while gone. I just finished sending about 20 new entries to the MoBlog, and have more to add, but these will be enough to start. Head on over and check it out. I am sure that in the weeks to come, I will post some more pictures, somewhere. Got a couple beers left over from the trip and will be working to kill them off as I write this up. Rather than a big long post about all the crap we did, I figured bulleted lists of highlights and lowlights would suffice... Highlights:
