Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk: Boston, August 15-17 2008

the Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is an annual nationwide even taking place in major cities throughout the summer. in each city, volunteers sign up, train, and raise donation money, in order to be able to participate in the 3 Day, 60 mile walk.

my wife, carrie, while not doing taxes or writing about taxes, is planning on participating this year in Boston. she has some ways to go in order to reach her goal: if you’d like to make a donation to support her walk, her team, and ultimately the research fighting breast cancer, you can visit carrie’s donations page. if you have any questions about donating, there is a Donations FAQ page. my tax advisor assures me that donations are tax deductible. 🙂

thank you!

wiggy. weekend. weather.

okay, it wasn’t the weekend. but i had to throw in the reference to LA Story, one of my favorite movies of all time. we’ve been enjoying, in new england, the remnants of some hurricane or something. a spiral of precip came through yesterday with band after band moving over us in a line, almost […]

this is the new ocean

we watched some of our DVR backlog this morning with brunch. since seeing the first in the series, i have been enthralled with Discovery Channel’s When We Left Earth. i’m not generally a heart-on-my-sleeve kind of guy, but i tend to get emotional watching these shows. i think it’s something about the enormity of the […]

happy 4th of july

i hope everyone enjoys a fun and safe independence day holiday today.

my workspace

while the view is quite different from what i had in seattle, i do get full control over setting up my workspace however i like it. my desk was cheap (and carrie has an identical one) – $99/each at a used office furniture store. they have cranks that adjust the height of the work surface. […]

nixed tweets

just a quick site news update – had to remove the Twitter Tools widget from the utility column. Twitter is having issues (again) and the plugin i was using to retrieve my latest tweets was not written to handle Twitter being unavailable. it may return in the future, but breath holding is not recommended.

site update: a bit of design work

not earth-shattering developments, but i’ve made a few updates to my site theme that may or may not be interesting, depending on whether you are a geek or not. in no particular order, the changes include: the site name is larger, and the byline is moved to the right of it the main page width […]

the defeat of arrogance

for anyone who hasn’t heard: the Celtics have defeated the Lakers in the 2008 NBA Finals. they clinched it in game 6, in front of the home crowd at the Garden. and the flow of goodwill (of course, i don’t live in LA, but) in general, seems wildly different from hearkening back to the Patriots’ […]

carrie's site launch

so, my in-house project for the past week has been one that is near and dear. for several months now, carrie has been writing about taxes on her blog, csusz.com. as far as design and layout are concerned, she has picked amongst the WordPress themes that our web host has made available by default. right […]

drunkish ramblings from the airport…

so, i’m sitting here in SeaTac, at the Africa Lounge enjoying a 20oz Mac & Jacks – African Amber Ale. and i’m thinking. thinking, generally, for me, can be good or bad. there is usually no gray area in between. this trip was quite a mixed blessing. first off, i attended an excellent conference about […]
