St. Patrick’s Day Parade, NYC
Ross and I arrived in New York the morning of St. Patrick’s Day – a mistake I will never make again. Our taxi had to drop us two blocks from the Roosevelt hotel because the streets were already blocked off. We then had to fight our way through the crowds (with our suitcases) to reach the hotel, only to find that it was too early to check in. So we left our suitcases with the bell desk and, despite exhaustion (we had woken up at 4:30 am to get our flight from Austin), went out to take pictures.
Chelsea Bluegrass
On our way to St. Barth’s, Ross and I stayed overnight with my classmate Sarah and her husband Dave, who met playing music. They treated us to a mini bluegrass concert in their Chelsea home, which Ross captured on my digital still camera.
You can see Sarah and Dave at the Bluegrass and Beyond Jam, held on the 1st, 3rd and the occasional 5th Monday of each month at Paddy Reilly’s Pub (519 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10016 — SW corner of 2nd Ave and 29th street) in Manhattan.
SC08 Show Floor
SuperComputing 08, held in Austin, Texas, was a huge show and a huge effort for many of us at Sun, especially Rich Brueckner. The Sun booth was humming, attractions included Scott Tokar, a magician, and Rich’s Java Chopper, complete with biker chicks.

Beh, truth be told – not that long.
