Kayak-ing

March 23, 2005

Ever since I heard Terry Jones (founder of Travelocity) talk about Kayak late last year, I've been a die-hard user. I absolutely love what I call the Google of travel websites. If you have to fly somewhere, you need Kayak. No ads and you can book directly on the carriers sites (hello milage bonuses!).
Looks [...]

An up & down weekend with Comcast

March 20, 2005

For whatever reason, Comcast has picked my first weekend home in three weeks to hit the skids. Internet service at Chez Donahue has been on & off since Friday. Comcast has generally been reliable, but that doesn't make me feel any better when the modem has one blinking light instead of six or seven. [...]

Timeless movie classics

March 19, 2005

There's no question that Steven Spielberg has created some of the most important movies of our time. Films like ET, Schindler's List, Amistad, and Saving Private Ryan immediately come to mind. Spielberg has also crafted some of the most "fun" movies of a generation – Jurassic Park, Men in Black, Indiana Jones, Close Encounters and [...]

Not sure of all the particulars, but it seems that TurboTax does run a (hush-hush) free federal tax e-file site.

The deep end of the pool

March 17, 2005

By virtue of having grown up in Kentucky, I am the de facto office guru for college hoops. So, once and for all…my emotional choice is Kentucky to win it all, but my money is on Wake Forest.

Off again

March 10, 2005

I got a good seven hours sleep in my own bed – the first time I've seen my own pillow in seven days. Merrin & I are off to KY today to be with my family after the passing of my grandmother.
I didn't have a chance to rush in and see her before she [...]

Globe-trotting update

March 5, 2005

Tampa is beautiful this weekend. It's the postcard Florida weekend that clogs the highways with bluehaired northerners.
Tomorrow it's Tampa, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, and then dinner in Long Beach. So, odds are you can stop in your friendly neighborhood airport bar and find me there. I'm in Southern California through Wednesday night, so [...]

Face time is a good thing

March 2, 2005

It's always nice to get face time with the corporate higher ups. Today I had a 15-minute one-on-one with the Regional VP of Sales from Phoenix. (His org chart has a lot of boxes under it.) He remembered our five minute fly-by together last year (even the wife's name!) He seemed genuinely interested in my [...]

There is nothing to see here

March 2, 2005

Dang. I'm going to be in LA next week and my one shot to see the Getty is Monday. Is the Getty open on Monday? No. Stoop-id Getty.
Update: Maybe I'll just spending the morning driving around the famous murder scenes or heckling at the Michael Jackson trial. Ahh, Mondays.
