Forced Update

Well apologies for the lame post yesterday. As I've made abundandtly clear in past entries, my site thrives on the visitors I get for my technical information. But in all fairness, I don't want to neglect those people who actually read the blog hoping for real content from me. So let's see. Since my summer vacation, I've become horribly lethargic - well, a little less motivated I would guess. Things at the residence have been a bit laborious. I guess people should know that [...]

Selling Bikes without Selling Out

I was watching the news the other night and I saw Paul Sr., Paul Jr. and Mikey from American Choppers. I can't recall the details of the interview but one question was asked to Paul Sr. about the difficulties they handle and how it feels to be so successful. The one comment he made that caught my attention was about how to keep doing what they do (good bikes) withouth "selling out". Not sure what he meant, but it's pretty obvious that the Teutul [...]

'Chappelle's Show' is over

I didn't think I really cared at first, but to say the least I'm shocked. Chapelle's Show is over! I wonder what will fill the void? [...]

The Do-It-Yourself Conundrum

Growing up I learned that sometimes it was better to learn how to something yourself as opposed to paying someone else. This was most apparent with me helping my father work on the car in the past 10 years. Although the motivation was primarily financial, many times after completing some challenging work there was a great deal of fulfillment. I'd feel satisfied knowing I did something right and I learned something useful in the process. There will always be part of me that wants [...]

Austin 2005: Better Late than Never

This is one for the memory books. I had a blast, Austin is great. The people are nice, the food is rich and the everything seems like it's in motion. Anyways, my boy Mahesh and his wife Hema are great hosts. And their friends are all very fascinating characters. Great slice of the community! :-D So a quick recap. Friday relaxed, grocery shopping then laughed at Kill Bill vol.2. Had some drinks then made fun of Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men. Next [...]

Off to Texas

Now on leg 2 of my US tour I will be gracing Texas with my presence. My buddy Mahesh insisted that I come down there for him to argue his stance as to why I should switch to Intel from AMD processors. I don't know sounds like a tough challenge. ... Nah, just taking some time off to relax, catch up, check out the scene down there. Time to party, err, relax. Hoping for some good times! You all know the drill, email works [...]

Washington D.C. Highlights

Got into Virginia friday night and just looked over our plans then smashed eachother on Super Smash Brothers. Saturday we took in the Mall of DC. Unfortunately everything was either wardened off or it was just too crowded. The main spots were the Smithsonian Air and Space museum and Natural History museum. Very fascinating. Wish we spent some more time there. There were so many things to see, I can't even recall them. We tried the fighter jet simulator but my co-pilot had a [...]

Off to Virginia

Since it was July 4rth, and my heart felt the need to pay respect to this fabulous country, I am going to celebrate July 4rth weekend in our nation's capital. Okay fine, I'm not good at telling jokes. Anyways, my brother and I are visiting our other brother in Virginia. (Can you keep count of the Brothers Miranda?) Should be a nice getaway. All packed and leaving in a little bit. If you need to get in contact with me, email, of course it [...]
