If you've found this blog site, I've moved. :) Blogger has just not been able to help me resolve a few issues and I was looking for something a little more than what Blogger could offer. No offense Google, but Blogger is more of the beginner blog posting site and I was looking for something more. You can see my new blog here; The Normanomiblog - http://www.normanomicon.com Thanks for

yeah, I think it's time to leave Blogger. The goofed up side bar has me ticked off and I've tried everything I found in the help section and nothing helps. There's nothing from the Blogger team that helps either. I think it's definitely time to leave Blogger for greener pastures.

Unfortunately, I think I may be forced to upgrade to the 3GS this weekend. For whatever reason the external speakers on my iPhone just quit working. It happened last night, but I was able to get them back on.

Just picked up Star Wars Death Troopers. Think Star Wars plus Zombies. According to the timeline this takes place between 1 and 5 years before Episode IV, a New Hope.Written by Joe Schreiber. He's a local author and has written several books. He worked at the Borders that I frequently visit. Just thought that's kind of cool.Read the first chapter in the store and I'm interested to see

Had to run probably a mile from one end of the Phoenix airport to the other.Did it in less than 10 minutes with a full pack (laptop, etc) on my back.WHEE that was fun, let's not do it again.I haven't had a smoke since about 05:00 EST and haven't eaten in going on 10 hours due to airlines running short on 'snacks', and not having time at airports to grab grub.More when we hit Tuscon.Norman

Well, I took down a tree today, going to probably take at least three more down for the neighbor. Combine that with the dozen I've taken down in the last 2 years, the neighbors are going to start calling me Paul bunion. :)Moved the fence today to accompdate the extension on the garden.

While we were at the mall for the Apple syore, we hit Champps.GOOD food. I had a Blue cheese burger and WOW was it good. Bleu cheese, bacon, onions and melted cheddar. The burger was THICK and the bun was the right consistency. The bacon was crisp without falling apart and at least double the thikness of other places.Nice atmosphere and freindly wait staff.Definitely a good pick, probably one

One of the guys in class had an issue with his 3G so at lunch we headed over.More on that later today.Here's a picture of the store.

Went to a place called Potbelly for dinner tonight.It was a heck of a place to get to, but I think it was worth it.Good food, killer shakes and really good soup.They've also got fresh baked cookies there, I picked a few of those up to take back for Mitchell.The atmosphere is really nice and cozy, but the menu is limited and it's a little confusing to order, but it's kind of like a Quizno's in how

This is a picture of the clock Tower in the Village Center at Dulles.I don't know if there's history behind the clock tower or not, but it's a cool place.I've also included an aerial view from Google on here.There's a few shops that I have frequented in here such as; Gold's Gym Baja Fresh Starbucks Ned Devines Sorento Grill Staples CVS Pharmacy Superfresh

I had lunch today at a place called Baja Fresh. It's a little Mexican place that puts Taco Bell to SHAME.They don't have a very large selection of different items, but WOW is the stuff good.I got a 3 taco combo which came with a chicken, steak and shrimp taco (yes, I said shrimp, it's better than you would expect).They are in soft taco shells that are a little smaller than what you'd be used to,

I visited a pub last night called Ned Devines.It's an authentic style Irish, Australian pub.They've got some REALLY good food there. Unfortunately, I had arrived after they stopped serving the regular menu and had to order off of the late night bar menu. The food was still pretty good. I got an Angus burger and some sausage roll appetizers. The sausage rolls were little sausages wrapped in a

Well I'll be....I found a little resteraunt, actually a BBQ joint called Boss Hogs. :DPictures aren't the greatest, but here they are.Those of you who remember the Dukes Of Hazard may remember the Boars Nest. Well, this isn't it, but hey, it's close enough.

Well, I found it.It's the little dark opening in the middle of the picture.Not much to look at (even if the lights were turned on). Nothing really in the way of food, but I'll give the Hooka a try, get some hummus and stop somewhere if I'm still hungry.The Pipe just got here. I tried the apple.Really good flavor. Very smooth. I'm surprised these aren't around more.The waitress was nice, she

I had a decent workout last night.Got a weeks pass to the Golds gym down the road from the hotel.Got a good 20 minutes on the treadmill (10 before workout, 10 after), and a solid arm and chest workout.

I visited the Apple Store in Tysons Corner Mall tonight.It happens to be the 'First' Apple Retail Store.It was your typical Apple store with the staff wearing Christmas themed shirts. They were still the normal shirt colors, but had a Holiday saying.The staff was helpfull and seemed to pay attention to what I was asking instead of the usual 'customer service' rep at a run of the mill
