Blogger’s note: I no longer use the term “Redskins” but am leaving my prior references intact in the spirit of learning. Katie and I had a really, really nice Christmas week. It began with seeing Avatar in IMAX 3D here in Houston. I didn’t know much about the film going into it, except that itContinue reading “Christmas”
Yearly Archives: 2009
The United Kingdom
I spent the last week in the UK on business with meetings in Oxford and Cambridge. Katie had never been to London so we flew over for the preceding weekend just to soak it up a bit. In the security line at the Houston airport we bumped into Mike Unton, another Lovett alum, which wasContinue reading “The United Kingdom”
Poken One-Year Anniversary
December 8th was the one-year anniversary of my start with Poken. I can’t believe it, that really seems lifetimes ago. What a roller coaster ride it was: arriving just as we launched the product commercially, working feverishly to update the product to meet the massive surge of initial demand, building a team quickly to keepContinue reading “Poken One-Year Anniversary”
Arizona
Christmas season has officially begun! Last weekend Katie, my mom, and I flew to Arizona for a “pre-Christmas” celebration with Katie’s family. I had never been to Arizona before and found it to be pretty nice. The trip started off on a strange note, though: as we left Houston on Friday, it was actually SNOWING!Continue reading “Arizona”
Space . . . The Final Frontier
Last week I had the honor and pleasure of presenting at the imagine09 conference of the American Astronautical Society. Breaking from tradition, the AAS followed the lead of TED this year and invited many speakers from across the US and across industries to present topics about which they are passionate. Some of these topics wereContinue reading “Space . . . The Final Frontier”
Thanksgiving
My first Thanksgiving back on US soil in a couple of years was just what the doctor ordered! It began on Wednesday when Katie and I hopped in the car to begin the seven-hour drive to Hot Springs, Arkansas. Having watched the first six Harry Potter movies over the past several weeks, we listened toContinue reading “Thanksgiving”
Rice-Baylor Update
Blogger’s note: none of these links work anymore. Since my post a few weeks ago about the potential merger between Rice University and the Baylor College of Medicine, I have been made aware of many new sources of information. Many thanks to all contributed these, especially to Freddy Nguyen, Lovett ’02. All active, engaged membersContinue reading “Rice-Baylor Update”
Milestones
The last two weeks have been very, very active and full of milestones. At enistic, we’ve secured our first investors, our first resellers/installers/distributors, and–perhaps most importantly–our first clients! We still have a way to go to raise the money we need really to get this venture off the ground but this early momentum is very,Continue reading “Milestones”
GoWear fit
Having completed one week with the GoWear fit on my arm nearly 24 hours/day, I now have enough data to begin drawing conclusions about its usefulness. I’ll break down my review into nutrition, exercise energy expenditure, non-exercise energy expenditure, and sleep. Nutrition GoWear Fit’s nutrition functionality is hardly unique. It provides a web-based mechanism forContinue reading “GoWear fit”
Sound Body, Sound Mind
Blogger’s note: I no longer use the term “Redskins” but am leaving my prior references intact in the spirit of learning. This was a busy, but exciting week at Enistic Inc! We secured our first client–an office building owner here in Houston–and now we’re ready to raise some money to get started. This will beContinue reading “Sound Body, Sound Mind”
