2009-10-07 - Hack-In-The-Box
While we were in Malaysia, I attended the
"Hack In The Box"
Security Conference in Kuala Lumpur.
It was all good fun: hacking the cloud, wireless snooping, Blackberry spyware, lock-picking, the Russian black market, and more.

I finally decided that I was "cool enough" to own an iPhone.
Or maybe iPhones are now geeky enough that I can own one.

I went with my dad to the re-docking of the USS Intrepid in New York.
Former crewmembers rode on the ship, while a parade followed them to Pier 86.
Dad served from 1957 to 1959.

2007-08-25 - New (old) WaveRunner
By being at the right place at the right time, I became the
proud owner of a 1993 Yamaha WaveRunner (yes, it still runs).
This is one of the two happiest days in a boat owner's life.

2006-11-30 - New job at Tekelec
With the success of the TMIO oven project behind me,
it was time to find a new technical challenge.
Tekelec
has some really fast networking gear that needs some Linux TLC.

My two girls and I found our first
Geocache.
Momma came along for our second one.

2006-09-30 - Private Pilot's Certificate
After a year of lessons, I passed my private pilot "check ride".
Now I can travel to any public airport in the country, daytime or night,
and I can carry passengers. Who wants to go for a ride?
