It's never too late to have your 21st birthday... Rich can have his 2 weeks before his 22nd birthday. OK, relive all the exciting moments of Richapalooza 2004. Here you can remember moments such as: Sitting by the Phalic Fountain ; Drunk Gnats ; Walking 6th on a Monday ; Rich Starting to Fade ; and of course Triumphantly Staring Down the Flaming Dr. Peppers. Rich, like a true champ managed to hold the contents of his stomach until he got home. Way to go! Of course he didn't wander into work the next day hungover as all hell; but we will forgive him that :)

OK, whats the word on this guy? This guy nicknamed 'Rance' is running a weblog and he is a self-proclaimed moviestar. Read through Rance's Weblog, it is kinda believable. But he will not say who he is in real life. So I pose the question: Who is Rance? Give me your guesses. According to boingboing.net the actor is Owen Wilson. I don't know but I'm curious if any of y'all 5 readers out there have a guess.

Alas, Laura must return tomorrow; but it has been a fantastic weekend of laying in the sun, hitting the hot tub, and sweet outdoor water fun. We were out kayaking on the Colorado on Saturday and then jet skiing on Town Lake on Sunday (courtesy of Laura's Uncle Les). Sadly, all must great things must come to an end; signified by Monday. But nonetheless, thanks for coming out Laura; hopefully I'll return the favor and visit Boston in the near future... Laters!/Journal | link | Add a comment (0 total) | edit

Whew. I'm glad that the 1800 miles of driving is over. I can still feel the suttle vibration of my vehicle now that I am back home in Austin. But hey, I did get the opportunity to tear through my spanish conversation CD's. That aside, I am now going to plug the piece of software I worked on at National Instruments--the package is called: LabVIEW Real-Time 7.1 (ETS) for Mac OS X. Nice long title! Notice the $1995 price tag, oh baby. If we sell a few sets of these they will have paid for me a few times over!

I'm sorry, but this is pretty damn funny. This movie depcits the 'other side' of the chipmunks lifestyle. I can't seem to figure out who made this movie. But it's hysterical./Journal | link | Add a comment (0 total) | edit

Oh yes, it's so on. The tickets have been purchased, and it looks like Tom, Laura, and I will be visiting Costa Rica the second week in June. Eight sweet days in spanish country (and one night in Miami). An immediate trip to the library was needed to pick up guide books and start the educational process. I'm looking forward to everything again and I already feel excited and out of the rut that one easily falls into working an office job. Plus, trying to harness the energy of the moment, I'm going to make the tough one month long push towards eating better and drinking less--in preparation for the beach of course haha. Don't worry Laura, I'll make a drinking-exception for the duration of your visit to Austin next week :) If anyone [I can tolerate and that accept not staying in 4-star hotels] wants to come along; the dates are Sat. June 5th - Sun. June 13th. Drop me a note, Jumphook Travel Agency is open for business./Travel | link | Add a comment (0 total) | edit

That is correct, Darin Gillis will not miss the Kentucky Derby. Smarty Jones got it done, and right behind him a very game run from Lionheart. These two horses helped secure a winning streak of sorts for me--I've had at least $5 on the Kentucky Derby's winning exacta the past two years in a row! Does that mean it's time to quit my job and become a handicapper? Hell yeah. Oh wait, I missed just about every other race I bet on over the weekend; so perhaps I'll keep my day job for now./Journal | link | Add a comment (0 total) | edit
