The unlimited culinary delights of the R. David Thomas Center buffet during MBA class weekends at Duke finally took its toll on my waistline. I gained somewhere between 10 and 15 pounds since the start of the program a little over a year ago! Needless to say, I need to shed these pounds to avoid […]
You have to check out our two cats, Tasha and Ripley, in their YouTube premier! Of course, they are instant stars! Special thanks to Stacia for filming the video (her first masterpiece)! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scoug4BwezA&hl=en&fs=1&]
Being so active on a college campus in proximity to Virginia Tech, I cannot begin to imagine the grief and atmosphere currently being experienced by the VT community. Please take a moment to visit the online memorial set up at www.vt.edu and remember those that needlessly lost their lives in this unspeakable tragedy. One of […]
It’s been just over 36 hours since my CustomVue LASIK surgery at Duke and I’ve been very happy with the results so far! The procedure itself was very fast and painless. After I arrived, I had the same tests and measurements that I previously had a few months ago to ensure there was stability in […]

After performing the “normal” 4 week service on my hardware, I had my brackets removed (broken off), the remaining glue chipped away, and a final polishing of my teeth.

It looks like Ernesto is headed straight for Raleigh tonight and may make landfall as a hurricane. We definitely can use the rain, but I hope there isn’t much flooding or damage. Here’s the latest forecast track, which shows the storm coming ashore near Myrtle Beach later today.
I occasionally stream Virgin Radio, based in the UK, at work. They play several of my favorite artists and I’m always likely to hear more U2 there than almost anywhere else! Today, I found a section on their site called the Top 500 Songs of All Time. This looks like it would make a great […]
This is my first mobile blog entry (from my Treo 700p). I just wanted to see if it works, given that it opens up all sorts of possibilities! So far, the Treo has been awesome and I’m loving EVDO data coverage!
I’m glad to see a *positive* story about Duke! Being both a Duke student and employee, I see the University in the news frequently. Unfortunately, most recent reporting has been largely negative and loaded with stereotypes. Regardless of the outcome of allegations against the lacrosse players, it is important to remember that Duke is a […]
