http://www.blogbrewery.com/gonewest A blog by a guy living on the west coast Tue, 28 Oct 2008 11:04:42 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I'm sitting in the St Lazarre station waiting on my train to Caen. I did not end up doing much in Paris this time around except for a visit to the Arc de Triumph (jet lag got me good this trip). I should be in Caen in a few hours. http://www.blogbrewery.com/gonewest/2008/10/28/leaving-paris/ Got into Paris about two hours ago. Took a train down to Gare du Nord but then decided that I did not have the energy to devote to getting to the hotel via train/metro today so I took a taxi for the rest of the trip. Now I am sitting in ... http://www.blogbrewery.com/gonewest/2008/10/26/here/ Took a shuttle down to SeaTac since the clutch is still out in the Miata (three months without missing the car -- I'm leaning toward selling it now). I got here way too early and discovered that the Air France counter doesn't even open until noon. So, now I have to ... http://www.blogbrewery.com/gonewest/2008/10/25/waiting/ Well, I have been too lazy to do much research but I still do not know why my mobile blogging tools cannot get an image or any other HTML uploaded properly to this blog. So, while I may add a few text blog entries here during my vacation, I will ... http://www.blogbrewery.com/gonewest/2008/10/24/blogging-the-france-trip-kinda-not/ Another day begins.

I don't feel like trying to recover the data from ... http://www.blogbrewery.com/gonewest/2008/09/19/im-baaack/ The gloomy sky doesn't do it justice, but here is a quick shot out the window of the new apartment. On sunny days this view should be great and in good weather the sunsets should be pretty close to spectacular -- at least they better be considering how small the ... http://www.blogbrewery.com/gonewest/2007/02/16/the-new-view/ http://www.blogbrewery.com/gonewest/2007/02/16/morning-sun/ Republican plan for world peace and American hegemony: Phase 1 - Find bee's nest and whack with stick, repeat. Phase 2 - ... Phase 3 - Celebrate world peace and American hegemony. Sometimes you have to wonder about American conservatives; call them Republicans, neocons, modern conservatives, or right wing nut cases -- it doesn't ... http://www.blogbrewery.com/gonewest/2007/02/15/underpants-republicans/ I've been bad this weekend. Well, not really bad, just your garden variety jumped-the-gun bad. I bought a Sony A100 DSLR on impulse yesterday while wandering about downtown. I had planned to buy a good DSLR this summer anyway, but the intention was to buy one after I move to ... http://www.blogbrewery.com/gonewest/2007/02/11/first-shots/
