We'll probably have a new internal policy now...like the Skype policy we got because, "Who wants a mustache ride?!", is apparently not an appropriate away message.

We went to see Dinosaur Jr. at the Boulder Theater last night. They were good but it was way too loud. I forgot to bring earplugs. A young Australian band, Violent Soho, opened for them along with Lou Barlow and the Missingmen. I thought Violent Soho put on the best show, but it was neat to hear Dinosaur Jr. live after all this time. J. Mascis had four full Marshall stacks pointed directly at him...I'm pretty sure he must be deaf at this point too.

I had to fly out to our Laguna Niguel office last week to install a new server. I went a few days early and went kayaking/camping with Jan and the new guys from the office. It was awesome. We kayaked 7 miles south of Two Harbors and camped along the coast for two nights. The rest of the pictures are here.
