More Goodbyes Sat 08.11.07 8:23pm PDT #21627 |
Here pictured are the taping of a farewell video for Dawn, our division's CEO, who is leaving in mid-September, and last lunch with Michael (center of second pic with colleague Denise), one of my direct reports. In the video, I offered a quick thank you to Dawn for personally sponsoring the 24-hour moblog-a-thon for charity I did here on Hiptop Nation a few years ago. I reminded her that she said she sponsored me as a way of learning what blog was about. I said it's a rare leader that takes the time to probe the edges of her awareness for new trends. Michael was downsized out in our recent reorganization and moves on to another smaller non-profit after 19 years working here. Though I have only been his manager for a little over two years, he's the type of person that leaves indelible good memories because of his good humor and depth of perspective on life. It's good to know he's going to be three Metro stops away when he starts his new job in September. I'm pretty whipped from dismantling a team of 16, reapplying for my own job and holding an unrelenting project load. I'm looking forward to some normalcy next month. - mike lee - washington, dc |
XOs To Go Wed 08.08.07 12:20am PDT #21601 |
Work colleague Annette and I had a great brainstorming session in Cambridge today with NN and Walter. It was a quick in-and-out visit that gave us a little escape from the DC heatwave. And to have a couple hours of NN's time was remarkable given that he travels something like 330 days a year. Best of all, we left with two Btest-4 XO laptops. Annette and I geeked out on the plane testing out chat on the peer-to-peer mesh network. The last pic here taken at home shows Hiptop Nation on the laptop browser. Now I have to bone up on UNIX command line chops to get some extra stuff installed like Flash Player. - mike lee - wheaton, md |

A view of the water ballet show at Baltimore's Riverside Park pool, Cici in the park's playground, Mommy plowing through the HP7 book (she finished it by Sunday night), my back yard in the great weather, Sunday night flight to Boston, listening to talks at the Media Lab on Monday, and flight home Monday night. - mike lee - wheaton, md |

City Segway Tours has been operation for probably three years now, and their storefront is three blocks from my office. - mike lee - washington, dc |

"I'll take you where you want to go." Wed 07.18.07 9:04pm PDT #21493 |
Since we switched to iPhones, we've stopped using the GPS subscription that came with my now retired wife's Vcast LG swiss army phone. So we made the leap into dedicated GPS navigation device for our car with a TomTom One. This is a highly-rated basic unit that is working quite well for our needs. One frivolous and marginally fun feature of the TomTom and other similar devices is the ability to switch between different gendered and accented voices. You can even purchase celebrity voices to install. I went for Mr. T and Sexy Sylvia (MP3 of Sylvia). Now instead of the bland female voice my wife talked to as "Agnes" on her LG phone, she has to deal with "turn left fool!" and "oh, we're at your destination, but let's go a little further." - mike lee - wheaton, md |
