AVP ball his the boom camera

Posted Sunday, August 31st, 2008 at 10:15 pm

Jenny and I went to Cincinnati with our volleyball friends Sean and Beth Barnett to see the AVP tour. We enjoyed two full days of beach volleyball, seeing all four US Olympic teams play (my photos).

The big news was that gold medalist Misty May and Kerri Walsh lost to Nicole Branagh and Elaine Youngs. Their third game to 15 (win by two) ended at 25-23. On the second to last point, Kerri made an impressive save deep in the back court that ended up hitting the boom camera. You’ll see the ball quickly drop in this rough video I took.

Goodbye Condo, Hello Job

Posted Friday, August 15th, 2008 at 10:49 pm

Friday was a big day. I closed on my condo and accepted a job offer.

Condo Sold

Balcony

Purchased in August 2004, this condo was the first home I’ve purchased. It has been on the market and vacant for nearly a year, so I am pleased to now have it sold.

A Wonder Job

I also accepted a job offer from Wonderware Central on Friday (I left Lambda Chi Alpha in March). Wonderware develops software that monitors sensors within supply chains and factories. WC is a reseller and distributor serving an area between Michigan and Missouri. I’ll be responsible for their IT infrastructure and website. I start Wednesday, August 20, 2008.
