October Is Crazy!

I haven't blogged much the past few weeks because I've been mad busy. This October is hellish at work because of a few deadlines and then to top it off we've been trying to plan the wedding! Ok enough complaining. The wedding planning is actually going pretty well. We picked a date and a place and as soon as we book it I'll put another post here. Probably today or tomorrow.

I told Tora that I'd put up a web site with all the information about it but I've been moving a little slow on getting that done. She even photoshopped up some templates for it so I wouldn't have to be creative at all. I guess I have no excuse, I'm just a shameless procrastinator. I did register a domain name and set up hosting for it though. If anyone is thinking about registering a domain name then I'd highly recommend doing it through google. Its $10 and they annonymize your contact info and hook your domain right into google apps. This means that you can use the gmail interface for your email addresses at that domain, pretty sweet! I set up hosting on Joyent which seems pretty good, but I haven't used it much. I'm thinking about maybe hosting the blog over there when I get some time, I even re-registered cakeface.net for a future site. I had owned that domain name but let it lapse last year.

Thats whats up, if I had more time I'd post about Ian's awesome Halloween party that I went to Saturday night but I don't. Lata

Vintage Nike Shoes

My friend Seton gave me a call the other day to let me know that Nike is re-making many of their vintage shoes from the late 1970's. As someone who used to steal my dads 25 year old racers just because they looked cool, I am really excited about this. Yeah they probably aren't great for your feet and they probably won't help all that much toward a new P.R., but they just might make you feel like Pre running in shoes made on Bowerman's waffle iron.

I'll probably pick up a pair or two to wear around. Not sure if I'm going to try running or racing in them though. Mostly because I don't run or race too much anymore, unless I'm in the mood for some good old self loathing.
