That’s right, the clock is rounding 12:30 AM and I’m pleased to say I’m still awake. Hopefully I finish writing this post before I fall asleep, but no promises. Today we finally got to our finished product; the whole reason we’re here in Vienna. We spent a lot of the day playing with our big, [...]

Let’s just say the hotel rooms are…a little warm. We’ve all turned our heat completely off and have been sleeping with the windows open, but man, the temperature in this room is HOT. In other news, the floors of the bathroom are heated which one wouldn’t normally think about, but once you’ve experienced it, I’m [...]

Made it! Back in Vienna, pooped but excited. All and all, the trip wasn’t too bad. The lovely Andrew dropped me off at the airport and apparently with my big sweatshirt, my big jacket, and windpants, I look like a hooligan. I managed to make it through the ticketing line alright, but before going through [...]
I’m heading out shortly for a week-long trip to Vienna and Munich. It’s mostly for work, but I plan on having some fun along the way too. There will be incessant updates of every minute detail of my day, so be on the lookout for that. But, before I go, I just have to leave [...]

I’m currently sitting in the Prague airport taking advantage of their s-u-p-e-r-s-l-o-w internet connection, and I thought I write up a little summary of my trip. But first things first: 1. I am currently sitting next to members of the 2008 USA Paraolympic team. I’m pretty sure they are the archery team who just competed [...]
Good Morning! Well, it’s morning for me. Maybe it’s still late night for you. Perhaps you are enjoying a good bit of Conan (oh wait he’s on earlier now…so Jimmy Kimmel?) or Stephen Cobert. Regardless, I’m about to brave the subway to the airport which is a little out of my 5 stop comfort zone, [...]

Whew, it’s been quite a week! And now it’s late so I’ll just start with how my day began. I woke up this morning and it was raining. The sky was gray and the weather was raw which seemed appropriate for the day I had planned for myself. I got up early this morning, grabbed [...]

Well, today was a big day. Lots to talk about. Maybe even some pictures. But right now I have to figure out how to stuff all this ridiculous stuff I bought into my suitcase. Spatial relations, don’t let me down now.

What a day! After a good night’s sleep, I was ready to let this city sweep me off my feet. It occurred to me this morning that with all these photos of food I’ve been taking, I’ve never taken any pictures of breakfast. And man, is breakfast good. I had a lazy morning today and [...]

So, this morning started…early. Like 4 AM early. And I didn’t go to bed until 1 AM. Because I was too busy frantically trying to buy myself a train ticket for the upcoming crack of dawn. Even the guy at the front desk thought I was nuts. But, I successfully got out of bed after [...]
The hills are alive with the sound of musiccccccccccc. That’s right, I’m in Salzburg. Land of Mozart and Julie Andrews. I can’t believe it’s 11 PM already – the day flew by. Calvin and Annie were gracious enough to let me hitch a ride with them to Salzburg so I didn’t have to take the [...]
*Whoops, my German isn’t as good (bad) as I thought it was. It’s Naschmarkt, not Nachtmarkt. My bad. So today was the whole reason I’m on this trip: work. After all of our galavanting through Vienna, today we went to visit our supplier, buried ourselves in documentation, and worked until our fingers bled. We worked [...]
