Treo Sketch

I decided I needed a little time out of the house.  It’s been quite a few years, but I decided to check out the State Fair of Oklahoma.  Now I’m at home with a nice belly ache.  Apparently gyros and funnel cake don’t mix.  In any case, I snapped a few pictures while wandering around:

Well, after three years of non-stop work, I’m finally taking a vacation and hitting the open road.  It’s an almost indescribable feeling to be away from the office and to know that I won’t be back for a full two weeks.  I’m taking a very long road trip up to Long Island to a friend’s beach house.  On the way, I’m gonna tour the south, see a couple of Tom Waits shows and see how much one person can unwind.  Right now I’m sitting in the Mini dealership in Memphis waiting for my oil to be changed (it’s a long story).  After this, I’m headed to Graceland to get my musical spirit revved up.  Then it’s off to see Tom Waits at the Orpheum.  Not a bad way to start a vacation. I think the car is about ready, so I’m gonna sing off.  I’ll try to post some pictures on the way assuming that I can get a cell phone signal.

Well, I know I haven’t kept up with this site as I should, but I’m trying to get back into the swing of things.

So, last week was spent out west in San Diego for NECC (National Educational Computing Conference). This is the Mecca for educational technology attracting around 15,000 people this year. We have been attending this conference for several years now, but usually in a very small way. To announce our new logo and platform, we decided to really make a splash at this conference. We purchased a large booth space and had a booth professionally designed. We also brought along a ton of computer equipment so that we could perform live demonstrations of our product. It took us two days to set everything up, but I think it turned out great.

Boy, it doesn’t take them long to create a video game from real life events.  Just what the world needed, the Zidane Headbutt Game.  Thanks to Leading the Next Inquisition.

I didn’t bring my card reader out here to the conference, but here are some low rez shots of our awesome NECC booth.

Several people had been complaining about the lack of stuff on my MySpace page. To be honest, MySpace has kind of been a joke to me, but lately I have started to get messages from old friends that I had long lost contact with and I’ve started to see it’s value. In any case, I decided to add some info and put together a little slide show of some of my favorite pictures. I figured I shouldn’t leave my true home without the same vain posting, so here it is:

I know I haven’t posted in forever. I’ve been swamped at work and it doesn’t look like it’ll be letting up for awhile. In the mean time, here are a few galleries to look at: Photos from a short business trip to Denver. A one day massive road trip to my Mom’s hometown of Beaver Oklahoma. Candid shots from another one of Sara’s great parties.
