    I have started a journey to Portland, OR.

    My flight leaves this morning at 6:30 out of Bradley to Phoenix, AZ. I’ll stay there for an hour or two and then zip up to Portland - arriving at 12:45 West Coast time. This will be the first time I’ve been west of Kansas.

    Stay tuned for updates

    P: “how much load is on the bearings?”
    Mike D: “None! they seize up even without any load.”
    P: “that’s really strange.”
    Mike D: “What are some of our options? we really need to provide good bearings to our customers.”
    P: “I agree. I’ll have an engineer call you.”
    Mike D.: “okay. What’s the guy’s name who will be calling me?”
    P: “Rob Schnieder.”
    Mike D.: “Rob Schnieder’s going to call me?”
    P: “yes.”
    Mike D.: “THE Rob Schnieder?”
    P: “No.”
    Mike D.: “oh.”

    In honor of their 10th birthday, Google has allowed you to step back in time and use its search engine as it appeared in January 2001. MikeDiDonato.com doesn’t exist nor does any reference to September 11th or Facebook.

    It’s kind of strange.

    Whenever I’m wheeling a cart around the grocery store or the shop floor at work I am hard pressed not to kick off, jump on, and ride that cart for a few meters.

    I hope I never grow out of this desire.

      Iguanodon

      June 28th, 2006 by mike d. in Features

      oh yeah

      I think it’s prime time that we give a shout out to the dinosaur Iguanodon. Iguanodon gets very little respect because the superficial cool factor is low compared to a Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus, or Triceratops. But I bet in social circles, this herbivore of the early cretatious was the life of the party. With a permanent “thumbs up” going on, Iguanodon probably got all the lady hypsilophodontids.

      yes

      Although my picture shows the tail lazily on the ground, this bipedal dinosaur probably walked much more gracefully with tail proudly in the air. I feel I should note, yet again, that those thumbs are 100% up.
