This afternoon Ruth & I wandered over to Coloane to see some beach. Unfortunately, the beach was being littered with trash from the sea ... sadly a prominent sign of the poor water quality in the Pearl River Delta. Nevertheless, if you catch the right spot under a few palm trees you almost forget you're in Macau.

After 26 hours of travel from Colorado --> San Francisco --> Hong Kong --> Macau I'm back in Macau. Asia is literally starting to feel like a second home as of late.
The trip over was great. All travel methods flights were on-time or early and the weather was beautiful. Although I woke up at 4AM to catch the . . .

Those I've worked with on data storage projects probably have noticed my affinity for many of the QNAP NAS appliances. They are solid, stable, cost-effective, reliable and great performing little boxes.
I've been involved with these bad boys in both small home office and large enterprise-level Data Center en . . .

I just returned home after a nearly week-long trip to NYC & CT. Most of the trip was spent in NYC for business but I was able to get to CT for the weekend before heading back.
The trip started Wednesday with a 7AM flight from Denver to LaGuardia, New York's lovely domestic airport, for a mid-day arrival. As s . . .

This Independence Day was a wonderful break! Fresh off a long tour in Asia it really was amazing to be home back in the U.S. to celebrate the freedoms, rights and liberty of our nation. What better way to do this than to be outside in the great outdoors of Colorful Colorado? None that I can think of.

Today was a crazy busy day but in the midst of it all it definitely felt like a bike day. I really wanted to go out and about for hours without work but too much to do. However, the motorbike always makes for a great errand-running vehicle so in the spirit of another beautiful Colorado day ... off to the store. . . .

This past weekend Brady, Susie, Chris & Emily came by to spend some time hanging in Boulder. Brady & Susie were in Colorado Springs for the week (Brady for work, Susie to hang with him). Chris & Emily joined up with them mid-week and the gang headed north Thursday night.
While here we wandered through Boulder . . .

Back home! It's great to be back in Boulder after being out of the country for over two months.
Earlier this evening I met up with Jim and we wandered out with Bella (Jim's dog) for a walk through Tom Watson Park here on the very north end of Boulder near the IBM campus. It was a beautiful evening. Altho . . .

This past trip was a great visit in Asia. Not only was the business part very productive during our trade show but Ruth & I were able to ta . . .

Today was our last day in Vietnam. We flew back to Hong Kong and wandered a bit. Ruth's friend Joy met up with us and we ate some darn good Sushi in the Causeway Bay area!
HK is such a fun city ... now it's time for sleep.
Tomorrow I'm headed back to the U.S. and Ruth to the Philippines. It ha . . .

Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City, here we are! What a full-of-energy place it is here. Ruth & I arrived here late last night on a short flight from Danang. The low cost airlines are great here ... ~ $50 USD to get a same day flight ... a bit more expensive than the train but it took one hour instead of twenty one. More time fo . . .

Central Vietnam. I had no idea it was so incredibly beautiful here. As we came down the mountains from Hue into Danang I was in awe while looking out at the rural beauty of the sea merging with the land. . . .

Today Ruth & I began our trip to Vietnam!
We left Macau at 10AM to head to Hong Kong airport. The ferry ride was just under an hour and once there we grabbed some munchies. Sholom, headed back to the U.S., hung out with us for a bit on the ride and airport before meandering to the lounge in preparation for hi . . .

Ruth & I wandered over to Venetian, Macau to check out the only Cirque Du Soleil show in Macau. Very cool!
I've seen quite a few of the shows in Las Vegas and have always enjoye them. This was no exception. The gymnastics, as always, were amazing and the feats these performers pulled off with their bodies wa . . .

More Macau wandering was in full effect over the past day or so. The premise for this was a bit of touring to show Michael, in town from New York for a tradeshow, some of where we usually explore.
The humidity is in full effect! These grey sticky days remind me of the insanity in the northeastern U.S. (and on . . .

This past Friday night was a Protuguese dinner night. In attendance for the evening were Sholom, Alwin, Veronica, Eddie, Ruth & I. The venue of choice was Fernandos Restaurant in Coloane, Macau.
Coloane is the furthest from central Macau you're able to go without actually leaving Macau. Although it's not ver . . .

Here in Macau they take incorrect parking very seriously. What better way to make it known than to encase a "boot" in plastic for display by all who enter the building?
Can't say you weren't warned. . . .

I just arrived back in Macau from a wonderful long weekend in Cebu, Philippines. Ruth and I really relaxed and enjoyed a lazy few days, which based on the busy days from my current biz project, was much needed.
Aside from lying on the beach, drinking some beer, enjoying some food and zipping around on a Waveru . . .

Ruth & I arrived here in beautiful Cebu, Philippines a few hours ago. Flying on always-lovely Cathay Pacific out of Hong Kong we arrived safely and immediately grabbed a few cocktails and appetizers.
Now that we're settled in I'm looking forward to a weekend of fun in the sun ... aka, drinking beer and catc . . .

My official birthday celebration took place last night here in Macau at the lauded local watering hole: "Old Taipa Tavern." Sholom, Ruth & I had a wonderful low key celebration drinking Stella and sucking down local appetizers. The weather turned out very nice and we sat outside for the experience.

Ruth & I spent this past weekend wandering around Hong Kong a bit. Our focus was to visit her friend Joy, wander and generally rest a bit. It was great to get out of Macau for a bit.
Saturday night we meanderedd over to Lan Kwai Fong which is always a good people-watching spot late at night. We took in the s . . .

Ruth's finally done with her seemingly never-ending (okay, only 6 months but it felt like forever) singing contract in Malaysia. To celebrate she headed to Macau to spend some time with me during my ongoing business project here. I'm excited to have her visiting and wandering around with me during non-working hours.

Back in Asia! I arrived in Macau last week but took a break this past weekend to visit Ruth in PD and we also spent part of a weekend in KL as I was there for some lovely business meetings.
Our time was spent resting and enjoying the hot weather. We're both a bit tired from long work tours so it was nice to . . .

Back from Florida, dad & I are enjoying awesome Boulder, Colorado. I'm constantly reminded of how amazing it is here: the beautiful weather, friendly people, great community, awesome microbrews... It's really great to be back home. The visit to Florida was nice as I was able to visit grandma & dad but it's so good to be . . .
