The time has come. With oil at $4 a gallon, the negative environmental impact of driving, and the extended commute time due to Mariner’s games, I am going to start a part-time shift of my commute to The Connector – Microsoft’s free shuttle service. I have talked with tons of Microsoft employees that currently ride…
Although it is not really summer here in Seattle yet, sometimes you get those blessed days of amazing weather like we did here on Saturday. I decided to take advantage of the weather and got out and played the Coal Creek course at Newcastle golf club in Bellevue, WA. What a great course, a great…

As anyone who reads this space probably knows, I am very addicted to golf. As a way to feed my addiction as well as set a fun life goal, I have set out to play the top 100 public courses in the US as stated by Golf Digest. Thus, I was impressed by a website…
The weather in Seattle today definitely confirmed why I live in Seattle. On top of that, if you can do your work while taking in a panoramic view of the Cascades, it is a double bonus. Check out the mountain views from a common work area in my building. Not bad at all.
