Through channels, I learned of an interesting meme. Use google image search to run your name and blog about the one that pops up. Unfortunately, when you have a thorough flickr presence and an unusual last name, you end up having all of your own images at the top of the list. I find it …

Butt Blasting your Ears
I run. You probably know this. I usually run with my Ipod nano, listening to music. Some people listen to podcasts, but I’ve never really gotten in to doing that while running. Unless I’m on a long run, during which I carry a waist belt with a water bottle, I stick the nano in a …
Running Milestone
Exceptionally personal post. Do not pass go. Especially if you don’t want to hear me crowing about myself. Yay me! Jenn and I are running in the Tulsa Marathon before Turkey Day. We’re only running the half marathon, but the last time I was training up to long distances, I hit the 10 mile mark …
Weird Dreams
Someone who is into dream interpretation will have to help me. Recently (last couple or so years) I’ve been having a recurring dream. It is similar to the “I forgot my pants” dream, but it revolves around high school/college. I dream that it’s late in the semester and I have been skipping so many classes …
Things you See in the ER
Last night, we had to spend some time in the veterinary emergency room. Our cat was exhibiting some distressing symptoms. Verdict is: Who knows. Maybe a stroke. Maybe a seizure (although apparently cats don’t get seizures like people do, the convulsions are symptomatic of something else, instead). Maybe a dislocated clot that caused her excessive …

Busy Weekend
This is more of a livejournal posting, but as I only use livejournal to keep up with what my friends are doing, voila! Saturday I spent all day working on the AT with the Georgia Appalachian Trail Club. It was supposed to be the “District Maintenance Month” wherein all the section overseers (I have section …
More Social Networking
I learned about Twitter last spring, when it was mentioned during Podcamp Atlanta (which was a rockin’ good time). Twitter is an social networking protocol that lets you post a 140 character update about what you’re doing right now. For example, I posted this morning that I was “Developing traffic volume growth projections for a …
Splinter Blog/Podcast
You may have noticed over the past few months that I’ve been alluding to a new project. That project is now live and in color. It is called Talking Traffic and is a podcast/blog site designed to bring some clarity to the confusion that often arises when I talk to people about what I do …
