Rooftop Celebration

Almost 6 months of work all came to an end this week as the convention came to a close. And to celebrate everything going well we all went out to a roof top bar overlooking the river and Bangkok, and then out to dinner after that. Had I known how awesome the view was going […]

One at the start of the session, and one at the end. This one here is the morning video, and is probably the best of all 6 that I cut. Tomorrow morning I’m planning on getting […]

Missing my Boys

Missing my Boys

Brenda has been nice enough to send me photos of the boys almost everyday. I miss them like crazy, and the photos are nice but make me miss them even more. From what I understand Andrew is now riding a bike and Max just started learning Spanish. I hope I don’t miss too many more […]

It plays tomorrow morning (in less then 6 hours) during the opening sessions at the convention center. It’s considered the “welcome video”, and just shows a bunch of people from different countries saying “hello”. I have to edit […]

Night Tuk-Tuk Ride

[qt:/blog/video/night_tuktuk-Blog.mov /blog/video/night_tuktuk-Blog.jpg /blog/video/night_tuktuk-Blog.mov 500 375] This movie is from our last evening in Chiang Mai. We went out to dinner and used the Tuk-Tuk’s to get around. This clip is probably longer then it really needs (even though it’s a lot shorter then the original) but it’s an interesting way to see what the city […]

Click on the photo to see a much larger version of it. I was very pleasantly surprised to wake up today and take a look out my window. What a beautiful view! Today was a pretty lazy day overall. I woke up at noon, worked out in the health club, showered and went to “breakfast” […]

Bangkok, Home Base for the Next 8 Days

Bangkok, Home Base for the Next 8 Days

By on June 21, 2008 in Photo Post, Text Post with 0 Comments

We’re staying at the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel in downtown Bangkok. We usually get to stay at pretty nice places, but this is exceptionally good. The flight was pretty uneventful other then being slightly delayed. We had a nice transport from the airport. It’s not often that 5 people get a full sized 40 person bus […]

Break out the computers, it’s nerd time! A little free internet while waiting for our flight to board. We’re at the airport and checked in (after another hassle over having “too many bags”). Our flight leaves in about an hour or so. This photo is from a place I visited this afternoon. It was a […]

Up to the Mountain Top

While we are here to work, Carole and I don’t really start working until we get to Bangkok, which is late Saturday evening. So we spent the afternoon touring a small village and temple at the top of a mountain here.  It was a 30 minute drive up the mountain on a narrow road most […]
