Ender's Game

I had prematurely finished my reading material (Anthem) while hanging out in Anchorage (it was a 2.4 mile walk between the hotel and the movie theater, and I was reading while walking), so I picked up my first Orson Scott Card book, Ender's Game. Highly entertaining. The

Bigger and Better

I registered whereiscurtis.com. Of course, there's nothing there yet. I'll have to fix that. But not in the next twenty-eight hours. Or the month of May for that matter. -- I made a trade. I agreed to read Sense and Sensibility. What could I possibly

Three Cheers for Gold Medallion Status

Just got an email from Delta confirming my seat upgrade for my flights from New York to Cincinnati and from there to Seattle. Then its back to the cattle car for the flight to Anchorage. And due to a complete lack of self-control, I'm already operating on an

Brevity

I ordered a burrito via SeamlessWeb this evening, since I'm running out of food, and I don't want to go shopping since I'm leaving town for a month, soon. The delivery guy finally arrived downstairs and the doorman called me. I answered the phone:

A Book

Motivation

The problem is that I enjoy my job. Nearly the entire time I worked at Bloomberg, the majority of the time I was at Lime Wire and some of the time I was at the Wall Street Journal, going to work was associated with stress and/or boredom. I can

I'm Sorry

I didn't realize that my test posts wouldn't be deleted from the feed when I deleted them from the blog. Whoops. Anyway, I moved the Locator messages to a new home: whereiscurtis.blogspot.com If you want to be irritated by frequent test posts, start following

Powered by Chocolate

I did my WoD #1 in 29:05 today. That's two minutes faster than my first attempt. Still got a ways to go until 25:00. Might be unrealistic. We'll see. I think I'll have some chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips and chocolate
