When It Rains, It Pours… Into My Sunroof
Last night it started raining around 9pm in Raleigh. It was a hot day and thunderstorms were forecasted for the evening hours. Caitlin and I had just returned to our apartment from a massive trip to Walmart a few hours earlier. This was before it started to look stormy. We had dinner and I began [...]

Dirt Jumping @ Lake Crabtree
This afternoon a few of my friends and I headed out to Lake Crabtree for some biking after work. We generally go biking 4-5 times a week and Crabtree is one of the most popular spots since it’s so close to work and my apartment. The park has a fun line of dirt jumps that [...]

Why I Hate CitiBank
Let me start by saying that I consider myself a very responsible credit card user. I never spend more than I have and I always pay off my card in full each month. (Thanks for the good advice, Dad!) So, my current issues with CitiBank aren’t related to increasing interest rates, or other issues like [...]

Red Bull Rampage 2008
After talking with @nevko about his recent trip to Moab, UT and doing some serious mountain biking lately, I decided to spend some time browsing the interwebs for exciting things. The other day I came across this incredible video that blew my mind. I suspect that even if you aren’t into biking, you can appreciate [...]

My New Bike!
So as many of you know (or will soon find out), I’m pretty obsessed with mountain biking. It all began when I moved down to Raleigh, NC a couple years ago for my first co-op. I’ve been getting more and more into it and now I’m borderline obsessed! It’s so much fun and such a [...]

Camera Dump 1
I’ve been taking a bunch of random pictures lately with my Canon Rebel XTi but nothing has been interesting enough to warrant it’s own gallery or blog post. Generally the photos are unrelated to each other and just cool (or depressing) moments that were worth a picture. Last night I got the idea to do [...]

Magic Pen Game – Version 2!!
As many of you might remember, a few months ago I wrote about a little game called the Magic Pen Game. This game captured (I wouldn’t say wasted…) hours and hours of my life! If you aren’t familiar with the game, it is a series of levels that require you to move a red ball through flags. [...]

The Latest From Sky Mall
Hey! So I found myself flying A LOT last month. First it was Utah, then St. Lucia, then a trip to Armonk, NY for work. I’ve been spending a lot of time on planes and have really enjoyed the Sky Mall magazine that was neatly placed in my seatback. I will say, however, that the [...]

A Week in St. Lucia
I’ve been SO busy lately that I haven’t had time to blog about everything that’s been going on. I finally have a few minutes to write and share some pics. Okay, so where to start?! On Saturday January 17th, 2009 I got married to Caitlin in Saratoga Springs, NY. We had a fairly large wedding [...]

Utah Day 4 (Brighton)
Last night it snowed 11 inches in Big Cottonwood Canyon and we decided to ski one last time before our 5pm flight. After checking out half-day lift ticket prices at the nearby resorts, we decided it was best to head to Brighton again. We arrived a little before the lifts opened at 9am. I couldn’t [...]
