Santa was good to us this year and brought us many new Wii games: Beatles Rock Band – words really can’t describe how awesome this game is. Those already tiring of the rhythm game genre might not be as impressed with it as I am but this is our first such game and wow, whatContinue reading “New Wii Games”

2010
Having looked back at 2009 in my last post, now it is time to look ahead to 2010. Following are my New Year’s resolutions laid out by category. I would like to publish these online and report on regular progress to maintain accountability. Can anyone recommend any good tools for this? Relationships 1. WeeklyContinue reading “2010”
2009
Katie and I spent New Year’s Eve with friends at two separate house parties, both of which were a lot of fun. There was a “black” theme at one of the parties to represent the “laying to rest” of 2009. Not one to settle for just black tie, I also donned a head band andContinue reading “2009”
Christmas
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”
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”
