Gearing Up After Two Weeks
December 31, 2002

Boy, I've kind of let things go slack haven't I?  It's the holiday season, I guess.  Of course, I've had a lot of time to just sit around due to the vacation, but I haven't written much of anything.  I wrote a little bit when I went out to Johnstown this past weekend, but nobody would want to read that.  Really.

Anyhow, I suppose I should recap the holidays.  Pre-Christmas was very hurried.  The Saturday before Christmas was scheduled as a game day.  However, we had made tentative plans (in the way that someone suggests that we do something and then nothing is discussed about it until the last minute) to go see The Two Towers that evening instead of playing our regular game. 

Stinking Phone
December 20, 2002

Has anyone else been waiting for the Kyocera 7135 to finally come to market?  Is anyone else extremely disappointed that the phone only works with Alltel service?  Where is Alltel based out of that it doesn't cover the Philadelphia area?  What a crock.

Here, I have been waiting for a convergence device to replace my Visor Prism and Nextel Phone.  I really like my Prism, but I find it unsatisfying to have to carry around two pieces of equipment all the time.  Besides that, I'm looking for a lower-priced solution to the Nextel phone that will let Berta and I share minutes and not pay through the nose.

Less than a week to go
December 19, 2002

Only one week left until Christmas, and I've got nothing done.  Well, next to nothing.  At least my presentation for work is over.

Last night I did a presentation for the Philly.net users group on kSkin and the Image Designer.  Expect for the one time that I totally forgot what I was supposed to say (and just stood there for 30 seconds saying nothing), I think everything went smoothly.  I also forgot to tell them to fill out the surveys.  And mention the $1000 contest.  But, hey.  The culmination of a week's work...  And what do I have to show for it?  More presentations in the future.  Oh, well.
