I have been consuming a lot of media lately. It keeps me from having to go out and brave the real world. Last Friday I finished Starship Troopers, the book not the movie. Wednesday I finished A Wrinkle in Time and yesterday started Under the Banner of Heaven. Tonight I made the mistake of watching AvP2 and I started Into the Wild, the movie - I read the book a couple of years ago. I don’t know if I am in a good place to watch that movie right now. The funny thing is I also wasn’t in a good place to watch Wall-E.

I think that is all I feel like saying tonight since I am on my iPod and it is a little tougher to type on than your average sponge bob keyboard. Goodnight my lovely friends, I will provide real update soon.

In the last week and a half I have watched the first season of “The Big Bang Theory”, the Terminator tv show and the most recent season of the Penn and Teller show. On top of all that excitement I also managed to download over a year of updates for my long neglected desktop.

I am also able to write blog posts from my iPod. Oh the joys of technology!

Now my only question is whether I should try and upgrade my 8meg connection to the potentially available 20meg one. It would only make my Internet service cost 2.5 times as much.

I am laying in bed right now and writing this post on my iPod touch, so I hope you will forgive me for being brief.

Many moons ago I mentioned some traveling I was doing. I think it is time to tell you why. I started a new job three weeks ago and this new job required me to move to North Carolina. The new job requires me to work very closely with a couple of great computer programmers on a development team. When I started work on my economics degree I was often asked what you could do with that and I replied “anything!” Anything officially now includes software development.

The first week in NC I stayed in a hotel while looking for an apartment. That weekend my car died and I bought a new car. I am know very happily driving an ultra low emissions vehicle that gets well over 30 miles to the gallon’ and it is red!

The second week I was still in a hotel while I made the arrangements for my new apartment. It is nice on the inside and I have much more space than I used to.

Wednesday I got my broadband hooked up and it is fast for this area at about 7.5 mbps. I set up my wireless this week. I can now control my iTunes on both my desktop and laptop from my iPod. I love technology.

I think that is about all I have to say tonight other than I am working on the new blog theme and hope to launch it soon.

Goodnight and good luck!

The title of this post isn’t really fair.  It isn’t fair because I am not going to tell you why I was where I was, hopefully I will let you know sometime in the next week.  I will provide a little foreshadowing and say that this might be the biggest news from me this year.  Yes even bigger than getting published.

So where was I?  This my friends was taken in the beautiful mountains along HWY 64 between Chattanooga Tennessee and Franklin North Carolina.  Franklin North Carolina was were I spent a couple of hours today.  I am back home now and if I have mentioned to you privately why I was there, then I will say I think it went well. Also, they do have a sushi place, that is if you ever visit Franklin NC they do have a sushi restaurant.

Don’t forget to click on the image above to get a bigger view of the cell phone photo I took.  I didn’t have my camera with me so I didn’t take many more photos than this one.
