A pretty crazy end of the year...

I installed a new coilover suspension system in my car last week - lowered the car a bit and will improve the handling considerably. Hotness:

We spent this past weekend at a friend's house in Lake Tahoe. I went skiing for the first time (crazy, eh?)... I think I did great until my muscles stopped working after lunch :).  Happy 2007 and all that.

Rad. Craigsnumber: Anonymous auto-expiring forwarding number

Don't want to give out your phone number for craigslist ads (or to that person you met at the bar? :)). Use http://www.craigsnumber.com - it'll give you a phone number (with extension) that will only work for 1 hour, 1 day, or 1 week - and automatically forward it to your phone anonymously.

I need to be faster with my phone cam

I ran into (almost literally) Gene Simmons in the red carpet club in Denver last night.

Crazy... My sister beat me to it.

She graduated with her SECOND bachelor's degree yesterday:

In June she leaves for Ghana with the Peace Corps for two years. Good for her.

Math is good!

Great Thanksgiving Day weekend

Thanksgiving Dinner down at Tera & Micheal's house in LA:

Dear Fara,

I would not hog the bed if we had an Extreme UltraKing:

Score. Just bought 4 cases of Double Bastard.

One of the Stone Brewery's seasonal beers. Every November.

This time I bought 4 cases... I found that they get better with age: last year, I opened my last bottle after 6 months and it was much sweeter than the first. I put one case in the fridge and the other 3 in the front of our storage room (under the garage area, where it stays nice and dark/cool).

For the first time yesterday, I got on the wrong plane.

I always laugh at people who do that.. "what an idiot... how did they even get past the gate agent?"

Well, I will no longer laugh .

I had to go to a wedding in Vegas, so I flew San Jose > LAX > Las Vegas and back (I could fly direct from SFO, but I wanted more miles!)

Yesterday morning on my way back... I was in the LAX Red Carpet Club. I emerged about 30 minutes prior to departure and made my way over to the gates 80-88 leg of LAX, where the United Express planes depart.

Treo 650 vs HTC TyTn (Cingular 8525)

I've been using the Treo 650 for over a year now. Prior to the 650, I had a Siemens S55 (small GSM phone) and prior to that I had the Treo 180 (oldschool.. the first Treo smartphone).

The Treo 650 was not without its frustrations. The battery lasted about 36 hours with the phone and data connection (checking email) always on - less with bluetooth on. If I was taking a road trip, I'd get only 8-10 hours out of the battery while my car's bluetooth kit kept the connection open.
