“groovy mother...”

My Muppet Whatnot arrived! (Compare to the online comp.)

Anyone got any suggestions on what to name him?

On Saturday, 24th October 1998, I flew from Glasgow to Boston, with little more than a suitcase of clothes and a credit card with a decently high limit.

It's now 24th October 2008. Ten years have gone by. Time for little personal retrospection. How have I spent these ten years?

For the Me, right now pool.

Ver rules:

Take a picture of yourself right now.
Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair...just take a picture.
Post that picture with NO editing.
Post these instructions with your picture.

Me and Joy at Yankee Stadium. This is a screenshot of a zoomed-in portion of THIS photo, which covers the entire stadium.

My current mood is somewhere between mind-blown at the technology and terrified at the possibilities.

Or, more accurately, my avatar's first appearance on Current.

A comment I posted to the website was pulled into the Current News broadcast at 11pm.

Paper!

Today, I received the DVD containing scans of our wedding photos from ScanCafe. I still have to sort through them and organize them before uploading them to Flickr, but here's a taster which I think sums up the whole ceremony -- Myself and Joy (with our chum, TC) sat on the bleachers at ImprovBoston laughing uproariously at the excellent "Scottish" "accent" of our officiator, IB's Artistic Director, Will Luera.

I finally have photographic proof that I met David Ortiz at CES.

Because my camera was a tad busted, the folks behind me in line offered to take my photo with their camera, then email me the photo. It arrived last night, so now you can all see evidence of the strong personal friendship me & Papi share.

I won a raffle at the blogger party. Amongst the prizes were $300 in cash and free return flights on Virgin America.

My prize? An Intel flight suit. Apparently, Intel was sponsoring one of those Zero-G parabolic flights, and had some custom flight suits made. Do I get a flight on the vomit comet? Do I bollocks. Just the suit.

Not pictured is the huge Intel logo on the back. Discussions soon turned to the idea of wearing it, heading to the Intel booth on the show floor, and pretending to be booth staff. "Our new processor is smaller than an ant, but can do multiplication almost three times faster than even the most skilled ant."

Oh, and when I was carrying the suit, I felt something papery in one of the pockets. Of course, my first assumption was that there was a crisp $100 bill in there. Nope. Sick bag!

Signing at the Go Daddy tent. There were only five or six people in the line, so I figured what the hey.

As a few of us were discussing in the line, Photoshop has been good to her.
