Adirondack
It's confirmed: ice climbing Jan 22 to 24 with a private instructor in the Adirondacks. With this out of the way, I'm much less likely to die on the West Rib of McKinley, and much more likely to be allowed to try.

TODO for 2008
My 2008 to-do list: sub-sixty-second Rubik's cube, a ham radio license, a high-altitude balloon project, Rainier, McKinley, Half Dome, and learning a back flip. Extra credit: take up residence in Hawaii.

My first day at Lime Wire. No point drawing distinctions with my Orwellian former employer; tomes could be written. The happiest moment: "We don't set up developer's computers."
