After an insanely busy end of January with work, I’m very pleased to finally have a lighter day where I can take a few minutes after my lunch and practice flying my helicopter. I flew 2 batteries today (about 20 minutes), and the new transmitter was a really good choice. It enabled me […]
We went with the Accord LX from Claire Honda, the “other” dealer. Herb Chambers can bite me!
Its really nice to have a car with heat. And a passenger door that doesn’t freeze. Ah the life of luxury…
To those of you who have met me and Dori in person, you’ve no doubt seen Dori’s red ‘97 Jetta. Its a fun car, and at 10-years old in March, has had a pretty good car. In the past few months we sunk in the 2-3k range in repairs to pass MA inspection […]
Just posting a quick update, since its been a while. Dori and I are in Vermont this weekend, skiing and snowboarding at Mt. Okemo . Its my first time snowboarding in Vermont, and the conditions are pretty good. Not markedly better than my experiences at Greek Peak in college, but they’re still […]
As an early Chanukah gift, Dori’s father and step-mother bought us a

I made some whole wheat bread last night, and it came out great! Basically you get your 6-10 ingredients together and put them in the machine, turn it on, […]

Democrats won control of the House (and now the Senate) - ok this technically happened Tuesday.
I got a really nice ‘thank you’ call from my boss saying how much he appreciated my work during this cycle.
My sim practice is […]
So I ended up getting a HoneyBee CP2 helicopter, and promptly crashed on my first day of outdoor flight. This is after about a week or so of indoor bunny hops and trying to get the thing going. I did some of the online training courses, but clearly I need more practice.
I’ve really […]

For a year or two now I’ve been lightly into Techno / Electronica, mostly expressed by listening to DI.FM’s Vocal Trance channel, and lately by scouring Hybridized for mixes.
This of course fits very neatly that with the fact that my college buddy, Dave Cross, is a DJ and all around good guy. Dave helped […]
Man. I’ve been working like crazy lately. I can practically measure it in the frequency with which I say “gee, it’d be fun to play HL2DM tonight”.
