digg_url = “http://www.davidcool.com/blog/2007/04/18/technical-solutions-for-travel/”; digg_bgcolor = “#1A2D3B”; digg_skin = “compact”; i’m researching technology options for travel. it’s proving to be a difficult task, mostly because i’m picky. i’m trying to figure out the most streamlined, robust and versatile combination of devices. areas of interest include: 1) photography / video / audio – best methods to transport [...]
today inbo and i went fishing at lake lanier on his friend david’s boat. the weather was very nice but i did get a little burnt. i haven’t been fishing in a LONG time and it was a fun day. the wind would pick up from time to time but it was refreshing for me [...]
time, the night and moody music get your mind wandering. i’ve been listening to blond redhead almost obsessively lately. i’m not really sure why either. it’s not that they are the greatest thing since sliced bread or anything, but they came at the right time. things happen that way usually, you’re given what you need, [...]
i started this blog off by documenting my workspace in monterey california. i thought it would be fun to document each workspace as i start to move around from place to place. we have one more week in atlanta, so i figured i’d snap a shot before it’s too late. packing and preparations begin today.

today we went to the dogwood festival at piedmont park in downtown atlanta. it’s atlanta’s large central-style park and the walkways were lined with art booths for the festival. the weather was beautiful, sunny with a cool breeze in the shade. it did get a bit hot for me at midday though, i guess i’m [...]
inbo’s friend had to go to vegas for a week, so we all became dog sitters. the cute little pomeranian named mako is 12 years old, so about 80 for us humans. we all called him “grandfather” in korean, 할아버지. since his owner is korean, my english commands had little affect on him, he would [...]
ok, i’ve been running again. not everyday, but usually every other day. i’ve been using this nice treadmill at inbo’s house. it let’s you combine different elevations and speeds. i started out doing around 2.5 miles combined with steep elevations. recently i’ve gotten up to around 4-5 miles with elevation. my last jog was 6 [...]
