I read a few posts today on the deplorable harassment of Kathy Sierra (read Scoble, Feld, Kathy’s Site). Basically, Kathy is giving up on blogging and public speaking out of fear due to a series of death threats and online sexual harassment.
I watched Planet Earth on the HD version of the Discovery Channel last night.
It’s friggen awesome- the best use of my HDTV since the World Cup. I mean, where else can you watch a 20 foot Great White shark launch itself out of the water in slow motion in high definition as it munches on a sea lion fur seal? Only thing better would be sharks with freaking lasers on their heads.
Nope, not the lifeguard dude. Someone a bit more interesting. I bet that Night Rider dude never climbed Kilimanjaro despite some serious leg injuries.
Not the city, but just outside.
Drop me a line if you are in the area- I’m out there for 2 days so actually have a free evening. *[Email:]: Email *[Twitter:]: Twitter *[Phone:]: Phone
Last week was one of those crazy travel ones. I headed to NYC for some client work, and since my wife had never done the tourist route there she came along and I took some time off to show her around. I’m not from NYC, but I’m from the part of Jersey that likes to think we are (technically, I lived closer to Manhattan than some of the other boroughs). After a few days in the city we headed down to Richmond, VA to catch up with my family.

No, not some discussion on something controversial like global warming. Just the FDA approving use of a potent antibiotic in cattle against warnings by the AMA and other medical and scientific studies. You know, one of those drugs that the nasty bugs are becoming resistant to.
I’m really hurting today. And it’s not a hangover.
As I think I’ve mentioned before I’m back into martial arts after a 2 year gap (the result of moving across state lines and getting married). It’s pretty amazing how much you can forget when you take a 2 year break from anything.
I was catching up on some old TiVo and saw an ADT commercial that really tweaked me. You know the one, it has a woman alone in the kitchen when the bad guy smashes the window to pop the door and do all sorts of nastiness. Her alarm starts blaring, scares off the bad guy, and it’s ADT to the rescue.
Six months ago fellow blogger (and recent friend) Martin McKeay posted that he wanted to be a “Security Evangelist”.
As of today, he is.
Back in May 1997 I was running security for the annual “Kinetic Sculpture Challenge” in Boulder; a big costume party/concert/race/BBQ/festival/rite of spring sponsored by the local radio station. It’s about a 30,000 person event and I ran a staff of about 90 paid and volunteers. It was one of the more enjoyable events to work every year (the year I was working out East as a paramedic I even flew back just for that weekend).
