This weekend Katie and I drove up to Austin to see friends and run in the Capitol 10k, Texas’s largest running event. We drove up Saturday afternoon, listening to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (where we had left off from the Easter trip) along the way. The wild flowers were in full bloomContinue reading “Austin Capitol 10k Race Report”

Rice Builder’s Award
Last night I was humbled and honored to receive Rice’s Builder’s Award, an award given annually to recognize young alumni who dedicate themselves to building the Rice community. Although I certainly don’t feel very “young” anymore, it was a wonderful event and I was privileged to participate. There were drinks and dinner and a smallContinue reading “Rice Builder’s Award”
Sports Season Transition
There were two reasons to be depressed following the Super Bowl this year. The first was that Peyton Manning failed to win a second league championship. Colts special teams were poor and Manning couldn’t get any help at all from his receivers. Kudos to New Orleans, which played a great game of ballsy calls andContinue reading “Sports Season Transition”

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”
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”
Rice Baylor Merger
Blogger’s note: I no longer use the term “Redskins” but am leaving my prior references intact in the spirit of learning. What a glorious weekend for football! Not only did the Texans win, but Rice alum James Casey had some great plays! Also Peyton Manning and Brett Favre won. More than that, though, NEITHER RiceContinue reading “Rice Baylor Merger”
Beginnings and Endings
Blogger’s note: I no longer use the term “Redskins” but am leaving my prior references intact in the spirit of learning. Last Wednesday Katie and I went to dinner with an old friend and classmate, Nate, and his lovely wife. Nate and I were two of three Rice computer science 2001 graduates who started upContinue reading “Beginnings and Endings”
