Bad smell of the day: Stuck on 1-lane road behind Tyson truck full of chickens on a hot & humid morning. Yes, it was fowl smelling.

Listened to Estradasphere "Palace Of Mirrors." Amazing guitar driven instrumental rock swinging from metal to surf, ambient to 70s cinema.

Who can recommend some good rock, metal, and prog netlabels? Lost Children is the only one i have found so far. http://netlabels.org

Been listening to Rooney "Calling The World" all morning. What a damn fine melodic retro rock album.

Listening to excellent @inacabinwith release from Norman Kapoyos & The Moodswing Orchestra. Download for free. http://inacabinwith.com

Sirius Liquid Metal was perfect wake up this morning. Driving to work with Ihsahn, new Nevermore, old Pantera, new Megadeth, new Slayer, and Sepultura.

Subway for breakfast is a winner. And tastes a hell of a lot fresher and better for you than other fast food greasy breakfasts.

Lulu's for brunch... crab and egg enchilada delicious.

Quote of the day at work: "We build finger friendly applications."

Wash Caps and Bos Bruins doing good. Poor Buf Sabres.

Quote of the day at work: "We have to peel back the development curtain."

Went to Goochland Drive-in for first time this weekend. 2 good movies: How To Train Your Dragon and Bounty Hunter.

Quote of the day: "I don't tell clients we won't do something. I tell them why what they want doesn't make sense."

"Like reflections on the page, the world's what you create."

Clash Of The Titans 3D ... glad i saw it in the theater but was just okay.

Sabres finally beat Ottawa this season after 9 loses. And go Vaneck with the 4 goals.

You know you live in the country when you pass a stretch Navigator raised with monster truck tires.

Making a chocolate milkshake for Jamie. And prepping for 2nd annual ALG chili cookoff.

Today is The International Day of Awesomeness http://dayofawesomeness.com ... and no, Barney from How I Met Your Mother didn't create it.

3 hours in Babies'R'Us scanning anything pink into our registry. Phew!

Continuing the 24hr smell drama. Why do people feel the need to order onions on a sub they plan to eat in confined areas? Oh that smell.

Mtg this morning reminds me that one client is no different than another: dreaming and scheming. That's job security.

Eating at a cafe while waiting for train back home. Guy walks in wearing enough cologne to mask the smell of expresso and baked bread. Why?

On a train from RIC to Wilmington for a client visit and somebody just passed some nasty gas, twice. Lovely.

Been listening to Flairck albums lately, a Dutch progressive instrumental folk band that's been playing for past 30 years. Low key for me.

Hosting happy hour at the house: $40. Headache next day: 2 Excedrin every 4 hours. Hanging with good friends: priceless.

Why does it feel like it takes forever to get from Fredericksburg to Richmond by train? Oh yeah. Cause it does take forever.

Well. We will be having a girl. Now the tough job of picking a name especially when we had only narrowed down boy names. But we have time.

Waking up to white out conditions out here in the Gooch between the snow and wind gusts. Guess I'll be working from home and shoveling.
