Vacation is good
The trip to Europe was amazing. Between the relaxation, the great food (fresh ingredients are so awesome), the beautiful sites, and the wonderful company, I could not have asked for more. Tiffany did a great job of chronicling our trip and we both have lots of pictures posted. Go visit the links below while I contemplate how I can get back there :)
- My pictures
- Tiffany’s first day entry - Just click to further days for the rest of the trip
- Tiffany’s flickr page - Look for day by day galleries

I hate flying but god do I love business class
[Posting this nearly a week after writing it but first wifi I have found for free. In a McDonalds on Zurich.]
On my way to Zurich right now. Just finishing up dinner. Had a nice Caesar salad followed by a mustard thyme chicken. Accompaneed by a very nice glass of Malbec (ok, 3 glasses, I think). Now I have a slice of caramel tiramasu with a glass of port. Mmm.
Soon I will try the lie flat seats.
If you have to fly, this is the way. See you in Zurich!
[update: approximstely 4 hours later or so.]
Lie flat seats good. I actually slept. I don’t know how long exactly but we are about 2 hours from landing and I’m guessing takeoff plus dinner took 2 hours so that means I slept for almost 4 hours. Not perfect for sleep but should enable me to make it through Tuesday to get onto to Europe time. I must trick my body into thinking it is now almost 6am.

Election 2008
With this year’s presidential election coming on fast, it is getting to the point where I am starting to think about more than just the general overtones of the presidential positions. While I am pretty sure where my decision will land, I don’t like the idea of an uninformed decision, or worse, a reactionary one. While talking with Tiffany on a longish drive yesterday, I realized that what I need to do is make a list of the issues that are important to me and then see where the candidates stood on each of them. This will force me to identify what I think is important rather than let the media, pundits, politicians, friends, whomever, dictate what is important.
That said, it struck me that actually writing this all down would be beneficial; and what better place than to blog about it. So that is my plan. To try to lay out the items that are important to me and see how each candidate’s positions make me feel about them. I will be almost exclusively relying on the positions that are outlined on the Obama and McCain websites. I make no promises on how often I will write about this, nor what topics I’ll cover as I have not decided myself. I think my first will be on technology issues, but that may change.
Stay tuned.

WTF?
From a resume I receieved:
Facilitated development of cross-LOB solutions that combined knowledge of particular business processes and issues, general technological options, and process facilitation techniques.
Can anyone tell me what this says? In English?
