You see, it looks like gibberish, except that ever other letter was colored a really light tint of yellow.
Once you take out every other letter, the message is clear.

Licensed, and stuff
Monday, August 22nd, 2005I had a nice busy week last week.
I was so busy that once I finished everything up I was able to take Friday off and get some of the things I had been neglecting taken care of.
During the week Josh, Debbie, and I spent most of our time evaluating a wireless vendor’s new product line. We’re currently in the market for high capacity wireless solutions to use in lecture halls, auditoriums, and the such. I’m not sure the legality of me talking much about it, or naming any names, so until I find that out, I’ll just leave it alone.
What little time I snuck away from the Eval, I spent preparing for the Electronics Upgrade in Newmark. I added a nice new building entry switch, re-ran all of the fiber, and replaced all of the old Catalyst switches with nice fancy HPs. With Josh’s help I was able to have everything removed, replaced, and everything up and running by a little after 10am. (We started at 8) A few quirks with the wireless kept me there until 11, but it quickly got sorted out.
I finally got to the DMV to get my “M” endorsement on my license. So, I’m now an officially licensed Motorcycle rider.
My experience at the DMV was less than pleasing. Sitting/standing there for 2 hours only to take 3 minutes to complete what I needed to get done. But that’s another post I may or may not add.
I got my haircut, bought some groceries, and refilled my prescriptions. All was good.
Then after spying a few ladies out at the pool I decided to actually use the pool I’d been paying for over the last year and a half. It worked out well since I ended up making a couple friends and even went out to Steak N Shake with one of them Saturday evening. I think I’m going to try to hit up the pool every day that I can until it gets too cold. It’s surpisingly relaxing out there. Well….when there aren’t kids running around.
Other than that, I spent the majority of the rest of the weekend sleeping and watching some form of motorsport. It was an F1 weekend, so there was practice, qualifying, and the race to watch. NASCAR, BUSCH, Pikes Peak, American Le Mans, and various “minor league” circuit races were there to keep me occupied. The ALMS had a REALLY COOL segment where they had several cameras on one of the GT2 Porches. I could see the drivers feet, RPMS, Speed, Lateral G’s, throttle pressure, straight ahead view, an various track angles. It was really informative to see how the driver attacked each corner. Most interestingly, upon approaching a corner, he would reach over with his left foot and lightly pump the brake to get the pressure up before engaging them in a corner. That was the first time I’d seen that done.
So I had a nice eventfully uneventful week/weekend. This week is going to be even crazier.
If I get a chance, I’ll post more this week. If not, I’m sure I’ll have something next Monday.
woo, hoo
Monday, August 15th, 2005I’m supposed to be on vacation this week.
Things fell through a while back.
This week is horribly busy.
Woo, Hoo.
Three days in a row?
Wednesday, June 29th, 2005Interesting news yesterday, we’ll see how they pan out. I’m not going to dwell too much.
It put me in a kind of bummy mood, but that has since subsided.
Today is panning out to be a pretty good day so far.
I’ll post more later.

That’s all I’ll say.
