So a few photos some of you might like seeing I took lately…

Bill Gates speaking recently at the Digital Entertainment Everywhere push at the Shrine Auditorium

The backend inputs/outputs for HP’s new Windows Media Center 2005 home entertainment server (a bit pricey however at 1495 for one tuner and 1995 for two tuner version)

John Hoover getting Jester his last drink as a single man at Dave and Busters

Scaled Composities White Knight with SpaceShipOne attached underneath for takeoff in Mojave, CA for the first X-Prize flight attempt

Other stuff that has been going on…well my friends Tim and Jen got married on Friday but I couldn’t make it to the courthouse on account of having to work in addition to already having to be at ANOTHER wedding the next day Saturday that I was doing all of the sound for as well as DJing all of the dance music for as well which I had been stressing out over big time. The good news to report back on that however is that the Saturday wedding went off without a hitch on my part or anyone elses for that matter and I even got some of the 70 year old folks from the bride and grooms families to dance so I felt like I did my job well.

Also turns out that one of the last minute bridesmaid replacements is a really cool lady from Whitter who I think I want to get to know better. Turns out she has been an old friend of Alex’s and is a member of LASFS (but doesn’t go all that often like myself) so that is pretty nice. Of course when she gave me her contact email later when I tried to write to it I must have misheard what she said or copied it down wrong or something equally moronic. Anyways that isnt the end of the world, once Alex gets back from his honeymoon next week he can get me in contact with her I’m sure.

About the Author

Daniel Spisak was born from the fiery depths of fusion and now roams the pale blue dot known as Earth. I obtained my bachelors degree in Computer Science from UC Irvine at the end of 2007.

I am also involved in technology & security consulting firms as well as being a freelance technology writer. I also contribute to Jerry Pournelle's website and Chaos Manor Reviews. Additionally I am also a freelance photographer as well and you can find my photos either on my own personal gallery or up at my Flickr account or on Zivity.

This blog is one of the main locations where I do my writing, which is then automatically sent to my LiveJournal, VOX, and MySpace accounts. I can also be found on a variety of social networking and microblogging sites like Pownce, Twitter, Brightkite, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
