_Steve Jobs_ by Walter Isaacson
_Steve Jobs_ by Walter Isaacson Like the man, I found the varied reactions of people to the book to be passionate. The few people to whom I mentioned that I was reading this book gave me responses such as “He was such an asshole that I couldn’t keep reading it,” or “He focused too much…

Good-bye iPhone?
Well, my silent period for thinking turned into an extremely busy period of working. Thus, the thinking has been pushed aside and the space in my brain has been filled with stuff at work, an online course and my research activities. Amidst all of this, I’ve been pulled to a slight halt when yesterday afternoon…

Quiet period…
My mind is in need of some organizing and is undergoing a quiet period…thus, no updates. 😀 -T

Jet lag…
Going to bed around 8:30 or 9 or 10, waking up at 2 or 2:30am, laying in bed trying to go back to sleep until 5ish, getting up at 6am, going to work, ready to die at 1:30pm…. This is my current state of insanity! 😀 -T

Spring Break 2012 – Return to the Dhabs
To ensure that we got to the airport in time, we allotted quite a bit of time to get back to Charleston for my flight at 2.30pm. We stopped for a breakfast in Myrtle Beach and then hit the road. It was much faster and easier to get back, so we arrived at the airport…

Spring Break 2012 – Myrtle Beach: Day 3
Since I was a little bit red from all the sun the day before, I was less inclined to spend the day at the beach again. Though, I have been enjoying being back in warmer temps! Instead, I went down for my cup o’ jo at Starbucks and did some writing. After that, I went…

Spring Break 2012 – Myrtle Beach: Day 2
My parents are in Myrtle Beach for a two-day seminar/conference on retirement planning. It’s more for my mom’s company retirement than anything else, but that means that they have sessions during the day. So, I went out exploring in the morning, but there’s not much to see. Then, I headed to the beach for the…

On the 2nd of April, we drove from Charleston to Myrtle Beach. We stopped on the way for breakfast and had a nice Southern meal: [shashin type=”photo” id=”4844,4845,4843″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] Then, after settling in to our hotel in Myrtle Beach, we headed down to see what there was to see – [shashin type=”photo”…

Spring Break 2012 – Charleston
I’m a little behind in updating about my spring break after meeting with my parents, mostly because the free wifi is in the lobby and I’m less apt to spend much time here. However, since I’m free this morning, I’m gonna catch up a little bit. So, on the 1st, I spent the day in…

Adoption Journey – 3B
During the conference, I took an afternoon and called Diane. It was so wonderful to talk to her! 😀 Unfortunately, my phone died mid-conversation and it took me a while to get it charged back up due to not bringing a plug converter…so much for all my packing experience! Anyway, it was like a light…
