I’m having a Halloween party at my place tonight—“Moohaha Brewhaha” Come join in the festivities if you’re in the Capital Hill area! I’m dressed up as a vampire this year and got really into my costume since I’m actually hosting a party for once. I wore the crazy Wildfire contact lenses I bought last month to work yesterday. I’ll be wearing them again tonight. Man oh man–I don’t know how people with contact lenses deal with wearing these every single day of their lives. It’s a total pain. My eyes, fortunately, have adjusted fine. It really tops off my costume–quite spooky. I’m so excited to see all my friends dressed…

The last Lunar Eclipse before 2007 takes place tonight from about 5pm to 8:45pm PST.

I completely forgot to mention what I did this past weekend, which was so incredibly fun. So..last Friday, Ajay (who works at Vulcan) gives me a call and says “Whatcha doin’ tomorrow night? Cuz’ I just got invited to fly down on Paul’s plane to check out the Trailblazers game–wanna come?” Hell yes. I can’t believe I even hesitated (I had to cancel some plans). On Saturday, we drove over to Boeing Airfield to the Vulcan Flight Operations hangar and boarded Paul’s private 747. This was my first time on a private plane and it was just an incredible experience. It’s exactly like what you see on TV–there was a…

Surprise visit from good friend, Jon Pak, at Amazon. Jon started a month after I did at the company and was one of my first really good friends here in Seattle. He left for med school in Philly over a year ago. It was great to see him again! 

Finally got a hookah. It made for a very chill evening.

Matt just passed this on to me: Lookout: An addin to Outlook to quickly search all of your e-mail, contacts, calendar, and filesystem. Pretty cool. It’s indexing now and I can’t wait to start using it.

Yahoo and OMD Unveil Findings of Internet Deprivation Study Despite the fact that they may need to call friends to make arrangements or read the daily newspaper to find out news, participants expressed that they looked unproductive and lazy to their colleagues when engaged in these activities using traditional means. The Internet helped them conceal these activities and helped them do it much faster. I guess it would make a difference seeing my officemates surfing Google News versus kickin’ back and reading the Seattle Times. In theory, they’re the same activity. I would like to think that my life doesn’t evolve around the Internet too much aside from basic communication…

My friends Debbie & Saevar visited me from NYC last weekend and we had the most amazing time together. We were fortunate to have gotten some absolutely beautiful weather and I think I was able to convince them that Seattle is one beautiful city. They had a chance to meet my friends, eat good food and just see so much of Seattle. Below are a few photos capturing their time here.
