Amsterdam

long flight, didn’t sleep much. the Hilton Amsterdam is great with awesome views overlooking the city. got in and slept in the room for about 4 hours. ran into Anusha and Arvind in the Executive room upstairs. hooked up with them for a walk around Dam Square and the Red Light District. wandered into a nice Thai restaurant for dinner.

Chicago

late flight into Chicago, weird to be here for the second time in three weeks.

demo derby

pretty cool stuff, was my first time there. also got to work at the beer tent, although they were only serving soda this year as for some reason we’re not allowed to have beer and watch cars bang into one another.

Leigh Lake paddling

went for a paddle with Megan and Mike in Teton NP. we avoided most of the rain and it turned out to be a really nice day. somehow managed to break one of my paddle blades and also soak (and partially kill) my iPhone – am now debating between an upgrade or trying to fix it myself.

hello world!

looks like i figured out how to set up WordPress on my domain (thanks for the help Rajesh!), even though according to GoDaddy, it’s unsupported with my free hosting plan. guess i found a backdoor by creating my own db and doing the install myself… πŸ™‚
