Large contingent leaving Burp Castle headed for Gallery Bar. New Year’s Eve Eve FTW!
At Burp Castle with a cadre of good peeps. The St Bernardus Christmas beer is quite fine!
After nearly 10 years living in NYC, I wonder how many strangers have vacation photos with me in them somewhere.
Snow is way better when it drifts down around you rather than being blown in your face at 30 MPH. Know what I mean?
Touchdown at LGA. No stabbing sinus headache on descent this time thx to a regimen of drugs, chewing gum, and squirting saline up my nose.
If you’re ever visiting downtown Houston, make a point of visiting Berryhill for some of the best tamalés you’ll ever eat. Fish tacos too!
Possible sinus headache remedy: have a flight attendant fill a barf bag w/ ice. Apply to the back of the neck. Hope I never have to try it.
Massive sinus headache during descent. Felt like spikes being shoved through my forehead from the inside. Is there a pill I can take before?
Finally on the plane to Houston. We’re only 15 minutes behind schedule! Going offline…. :::: …. :::: …. now.
Awake before the alarm again. Why am I waking up so early lately? Not stressed, not anxious. Maybe my brain is training for Xmas morning.
NYC DOT workers are shovelling huge piles of snow into the Gowanus canal.
Ah if only I’d known about the Engadget party. The 2nd datacenter I was visiting last night was a block away!
Not sure why I’m awake this early on a Saturday. Hopped datacenters last night bringing gifts to all the good little Blip servers & routers.
Paul K is on the mic at the FYI party
1984 was a very good year. Weird Al Yankovic in 3-D was released, for one thing. 2009 will be an epic year in the 25th anniversary category.
Reading tweets, drinking yerba maté tea, and watching my father sleep. Thinking unusual thoughts.
Just finished seeing the Bodies exhibit at South St Seaport. Quite amazing. Could have skipped the fetus room though.
