So this is roughly what I look like right now (sans the hat) And I’ve got about four months to get my fat ass in gear and ready for the marathon season in January. I started somewhat paced running yesterday which went quite well, but today I added some weightlifting to the combination and I guess took [...]

Inappropriate title, sure, but I assure you there is nothing inappropriate about this post. Mentally, physically.. emotionally.. I am in the same state I was back in 2002 when I started cranking out huge chunks of code like a madman. It’s sad to admit that most of that code is still on active duty, but.. [...]

This is slightly interesting, esp given the last rant about social networks being a virtual prostitution ring. Today I logged in and saw this ad (who am I kidding, I saw the girl and figured there was no way she was my friend) and this ad: Make $250+ Working Only 45 Min./Day!!!! Oh really? Let [...]

I’ve posted the collected pictures from the Microsoft World Wide Partner Conference 2007 pictures. Almost all (with the exception of ones featuring myself) are appropriate, have stripped the embarrasing stuff. http://www.vlad.net/gallery/wpc2007 Enjoy. If you would like a copy of the movies/videos you were in drop me an email, those are a little bit too personal [...]

So, here are some awful things I heard this weekend. First one is from my Polycom: You have 281 messages and 17 marked urgent. 109 calls to return on Monday. Second one is from Robert Schimmel: Wife: Wouldn’t you hate it if I kept on going after you came! Robert: No. No. No… Let me put it to [...]

It seems that every six months or so all of my 2.5 friends engage in a massive human migration to another network. From Friendster (remember that one?) to MySpace to Twitter to Facebook to Pownce to (something next) each network becomes a little better at eliminating the spambuddies from asking to be friends.

So this one came off of Vladville, mostly from my friends. No, I did not turn fruity since I liked the iPhone, I’m as far removed from an artist as possible. So whats the big idea? Well, there are several reasons: My nose looks big, I’m too fat, take another, take another, take another. I [...]

As I sat through my three hour delay at LAX, I pondered the second biggest sales pitch of my life: How do I get Katie to move out to LA. I am not sure I will ever be able to close that deal but I have to say I absolutely love that non-descript sense of [...]

Today I experienced the best of times, the worst of times and a whole new appreciation for metropolitan environment. Today I experienced poverty in a whole new way. I never have cash. Ever. I never use an ATM. These ghetto birds do it all in cash. My wallet consists of expired ATM cards and bank [...]
