On the 19th of June, I married my sweetheart. We then went on an awesome trip to the Williamsburg VA area. Like all vacations, that one was MUCH too short, but we had a blast. Now we’re sadly back to reality – work, grocery shopping, walking the dog.. but that’s cool because I’m spending this [...]
In follow-up to a previous post, I saw this on Wired.com today. Seems Ford sponsored a class at UMich to develop Cloud Computing apps… for the Commute. The new Fiesta can Tweet while it’s driving. Not sure I like that idea… but it’s interesting, to say the least.

A lot has happened in the last couple months. I got home from Singapore, having ended my term with Barclays. I found and started a new job. I’ve been apartment hunting. Oh, and I’ve been a member of a jury for the last couple weeks. After it’s over, I can say for whom – but [...]

It’s been a month since I last posted on my weight loss attempts. From a month ago, I’ve dropped 11 lbs. For my metric-bound acquaintances: I have no idea, so look it up Now I have a good (but somewhat costly) problem – I need new pants

Saturday I went to the museum, as planned. It was pretty interesting, but I would not suggest it either for small kids (probably under 10 or 12, unless they’re really really interested in the history of Singapore) or as place to go if you want to talk about what you’re looking at with the folks [...]

Along with I’m sure others on planettrilug, I’ve been working on losing some of my heft. I’ve gone back and forth on caring for a long time, but now have some incentives beyond just “it’s good for me”. My first month in Singapore I dropped ~11 pounds. The 4 weeks after that were only an [...]
I arrived back in Singapore safely early Sunday morning (local time). Other than having to leave my fiancee at home, and now not being able to see her for at least a few weeks, everything here seems to be good. Got the keys and copy of my apartment contract, so all I have left to [...]
Last Friday night, on the Brooklyn Bridge, in the rain (sounds like the answer to Clue, doesn’t it?) I officially asked my girlfriend to marry me. Me living in Singapore means that’ll not be as soon as either of us would prefer, but at least it’s in the works. She told me the rest of the [...]
I’m sitting in Tokyo Narita airport right now. My next stop will be my home for the next several months as I begin a job in Singapore with Barclay’s Capital Monday. As of right now, I’ve added yet another two airports to my list, and have one more to go “today” – Dulles and Tokyo. [...]

denita smith, 1981-2007
As I mentioned a few days ago, I was a juror on a trial. That trial was the State of North Carolina vs Shannon Crawley in the unlawful death of Denita Smith on 04-Jan-2007. Miss Smith’s fiancee, Jermier Stroud, was implicated by the defendant. Mr Stroud is a police officer in Greensboro. Under oath, and [...]
