Got my freebord in today! But unfortunately it is raining so it may be a few days before I can try it out.

Popular Mechanics has a good article on the Freebord.

Okay, so I am reading every piece of information I can find on the Freebord thinking to myself I gotta get me one of these things. [Freebord is a snowboard for the streets.] Then I start thinking Manhattan is too flat. I need some hills and less traffic before I will ride the slopes of Manhattan. Beside a skateboard is more idea for urban riding. But than I found this web called LongBoardMaps.com. Go figure. The Internet has everything. And sure enough, there is a list of runs in Manhattan. And I know there is little downtown traffic late at night. Now I just need a crew to ride with 'cause riding alone is just not as much fun.

All this snow...so close yet so far. I think I am entering a snow-challenged depression. And with my luck my next project will be in the deep south.
I took the latest Microsoft .NET Framework Beta exam 71-300 Analyzing Requirements and Defining Microsoft .NET Solution Architectures. [A month full title, ain't it.] I finished the exam in 3 hours of the 5 hours allowed. There was something like 97 questions for 5 case studies. Some of the questions had obvious answers while others were very subjective. People taking the test should be familiar with use cases, data modeling, functional specs, logic verses physical design considerations, and how to use selected Microsoft technologies including BizTalk, queued components, and ASP.NET session configurations. I do not feel like the test racked my brain but at the same time I am not sure I passed given that a number of the questions has subjective answers. I will know my test results in 8 weeks.

Killington got a foot of new snow over night! I think it is time to call in sick and head up to the Vermont.

Melanie and I decided to do something different this weekend. We decided to stay in New York City. Yep, instead of waits in airports, short jogs to transfer planes, and being violated by airport security personnel we decided to "visit" New York City.
The weekend included such fun as CD shopping, buying new clothes, walking around the Village and Chelsea, and drinks with friends. We went to a friend's birthday party, and Melanie and I finally made it back to Kush, our favorite Lower East Side Moroccan lounge. But the highlight of the weekend was watching the St Louis Blues whoop up the NY Rangers at the Garden for a 3-2 victory. And even in hockey New York fans still boo their own team. We ended the evening with dinner, wine, and jazz at a West Village restaurant appropriately called NYC.
Doesn't this just make you want to go to Killington, VT? This photo was taken last week. I wish it were me riding in that photo.
