So I took my car back to the collision place for a few niggling issues — the trunk latch was flaky, the steering wheel was rotated slightly, and the brake light was out. I just called to get an ETA (after a whole day) and it turns out when they checked it out, they found [...]
So I’m confirming our hotel reservations in Istanbul and the email we got offers two options for getting picked up from Ataturk Airport. First off, the email’s automatically awesome because THE WHOLE THING IS IN CAPITAL LETTERS. Thank you, HAKAN & OKAN BROTHERS, for getting me up to speed so loudly.
Do we want:
a) [...]
Well, I just got my car back after close to three weeks of the rental car (which wasn’t bad, in retrospect). I’ve never put 1500 miles on a rental car before, though. The only problems with my car now are that the trunk doesn’t always latch on the first try and the steering wheel is [...]
So I just had a minor milestone when it comes to car upkeep. Like a lot of people, I don’t know much about what actually goes on under the hood of a car — it’s kind of a “closed box” system to me. I’m fairly self-conscious about it, since I deal with pretty complicated computer [...]

More coming again soon, I hope, but for now we’re flooding again. Pictures being cataloged here.

It’s been a fun way to combine my interest in coding, software engineering, blogging, business, creativity, site design, and UI and artwork — I’ve done [...]
Hands down:

Excellent.
Firstly, this is definitely not funny and is tragic. At a Tim Hortons no less… wha?
But it did remind me of a hi-larious episode several years back when I still lived in Troy. I just told it to Michelle, but then did some research and it turns out it’s not quite what I remembered [...]
Ok, I know, lame title. However I was in the Express again today, where they quoted my jaywalking experience. Perhaps this was due to my DCist mention? Thanks, Tom!
I’m not sure how they found me last time, but regardless, it makes DC feel all the smaller and me all the more welcome. It’s only [...]
