How did you spend your day?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I spent a good part of my day today at 14,000 feet, at the summit of Pike’s Peak. Yesterday I spent all day between 10 and 12 thousand feet getting the grand tour of Loveland Pass, Silverthorne, Breckenridge, Lake Dillon and Leadville, thanks to my friend, Steve. It was awesome to get to spend the day with someone I hadn’t seen for 4-5 years.

On the downside, however, once I got down from the mountains today and back into cell phone range, I got the voice mail from work telling me that one of the VP’s PC won’t start. Guess I’ll be troubleshooting over the phone first thing tomorrow morning. Yipee! 🙁

    Man what a gloomy start to the day we got here in Columbus. Rainy, gray, blah. It’s one of the few days I actually am glad my office doesn’t have any windows. The password switch didn’t go too badly, the ISP was kind enough to bend the rules a tad and send me a list…

    Interesting observation about using Help by Jensen Harris today: One of the most interesting epiphanies I’ve had over the last few years seems on the surface like a paradox: “help” in Office is mostly used by experts and enthusiasts. How can this be? I think my biased assumption was that experts know how to use…

    Ed Bott loves it. I read about it and downloaded it. I opened it, I configured it to login to this blog. I saw some very interesting things. I saw some definite promise. Unfortunately, I also saw a tool that needs some more work before I can depend on it full time. Seems like they’ve…

    See here’s the thing. Angela was out of town so from the time I left work on Friday at 5 until 9 Saturday morning, when I logged into Skype for the Tech Chat, I hadn’t actually spoken to anyone or tried to form a coherent sentence. I haven’t listened to it yet, but I’m assuming…

    Saw my first Segway today. A cop was riding it through the Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta. Angela actually pointed it out to me, she’s turning into such a good little geek wife. 🙂 Now that I’ve seen one up close, I can honestly say that my opinion hasn’t changed, it’s a neat toy,…
