    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.

    A couple weeks ago, Ben did a great job of explaining Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac to us.

    This episode of This American Life does a great job of explaining the greater “credit crisis” in excellent detail.

      Behind in the Fu.

      October 5th, 2007 by mike d. in KungFu, House of Rock

      currently eating: turkey sandwich

      I hit up Kung Fu last night. I’ve only been able to go to class two times in the last three weeks… and boy have I fallen behind. I’m going to have to practice more chain of death at home. Perhaps I will start each day with a chain of death.

      Speaking of the HoR, tomorrow will see the move in of a fifth rocker. His name is Michael and he’s an IT guy. This move will fill the House of Rock to its capacity. In order to get Michael in, I moved to the small room (see vimeo tour here), Liz moved to my room, and Michael will be taking the ‘L’ room on the first floor.

      It’ll be nice to have the place full again.
