Mac Attack
A friend and Cisco coworker is fighting a particularly aggressive form of late-stage cancer. We are trying to raise money to off-set personal expenses and arrange a trip to NYC next week. He is New Yorker through and through and his wife and daughter have never been to New York and it’s Mac’s greatest desire [...]
Fun Fun Fun Fest 2011, Sunday
FunFunFun Fest 2011 is in the books. Sunday gave way to some wet stuff from the sky to knock down some of the dust but overall it was a perfect overcast day for a festival along with plenty of good music as far as the ear could hear. I think the choice to move the [...]

The 2010 Longhorn football season is shaping to be one of the worst in recent memory. Offensive coach Greg Davis has been the target of a large amount of the criticism.

FunFunFun Fest 2010 Day2
Day 2 of FunFunFun Fest is in the books. It was noticeably more crowded than Friday and coupled with the fact that Waterloo Park isn’t as well maintained as parks like Zilker there was a lot of dirt in the air. Although my lungs were filled with dust my ears were treated to some great [...]
