New version
So not actually putting any new information here. I just upgraded mt and frankly had a pretty miserable time of it. Had to hack the cgi scripts to make it work.
Found the following useful:

to actually make it work

Greece
So for those of you that are curious and still ever come here I posted all of my Greece pictures finally. I hope to get caught up to date on the pictures sometime soon, but this is a good start. I may even post a summary of what I did in Greece that goes with it but that may be too ambitious for the level of effort that has gone into this blog over the last year. Check out the entire Greece collection here.

Comments
After logging back in and discovering that i had 1500 junk comments littering the site I tried to clean things up a bit. I think I have made it harder for people to get in here with bogus comments but I may have done nothing - or made it so no one can comment. I'm not really sure so please don't be offended if you are now banned - its nothing personal.

High Fidelity
Corry got us tickets to go and see High Fidelity at the Colonial theater last night. I admit to having been a bit skeptical about the show when I first read about it. The musical is adapted from the same book that the movie was - I saw the movie a few years ago and couldn't quite remember what happened in it - which I assumed meant I didn't really like it. We had seats in the balconey, but the show was kindof empty so they moved up to second row mezanine which were really good seats. We could see everything on the stage clearly, the people approached life size and not the tiny forms you tend to see from up in the nosebleed seats :) The show itself was actually really good, it was a very fun show. None of the songs are memorable songs that people will be singing to themselves, they are all fairly situational and plot driven so they won't make much sense in any other context. The cast though did a great job and I was really impressed with the scene transitions. The set was very active, pieces rolling in and out - rotating in place. Pieces rising and falling out of the floor. It was really cool and this was agreed upon by others there so its not just the old stage crew guy in me. It was the last show of the Boston run, but I'm told this was the pre-Broadway `lets iron out the bugs and get everything perfect` run where they would change the order of songs/events, probably play with the blocking and such. So hopefully it will be picked up and run in other places. If it does show up again I would definitely recommend it, its not a show for the ages and I can't see it being a "classic", but it was definitely a fun show.

Just an update
Just to let people know, I uploaded pictures from Mike and Trisha's wedding two weekends ago.
I also added more pictures to the album for my sisters wedding.
I'll be heading back to Boston tomorrow where I will be for the next two weeks before beginning a whirlwind set of trips. In successive weekends in November I will be in Toledo, Long Island, Chicago, and Voorhees. I always though that spending a weekend in the state you actually live in bordered on decadence. I'm not going to pretend that I will update this page with blurbs anymore wth any kindof of pattern or regularity. But I did clearaly rework the settings so my most receent entries will always be posted, and so the days of the blank page should be behind us. Although there was a certain appropriateness to that situation.

Stones Concert
I went to a Rolling Stones concert at Gillete Stadium last night with Jeremy, Ben, and Mark. Jeremy called on Tuesday having just acquired 4 tickets to the stones concert for last night. I figured I wouldn't have all that many opportunities to see the Stones so I had better go.
We took off from Cambridge at about 5, and had to make it through Boston in order to pick up Ben. This unfortunately took about 50 minutes due to all the rush hour traffic. We did make it though just a little late for the openning act (Kanye West) which I have to admit didn't bother me terribly. Unfortunately, the major glitch for the evening was that it didn't process that the concert was going to be outside so I went in just a t-shirt and jeans. The temperature was tolerable when we got there, but the wind kept things quite cold. About an hour into the performance Mark had the good idea to move down to the 100 level (our seats were in the 300 leve) and stand on the walkway. The temperature was surprisingly warmer down there and much less wind. We even had a fairly unobstructed view that was pretty good.
The ended the main showing with Satisfacton and came back out for a quick encore perormance.
I have to say Gilette Stadium's parking may be the worst stadium parking I have ever experienced. We spent the first hour rolling forward 6 inches. Then we started making greater progress when cars would leave our line to try and find another exit. Progress in the second hour picked up a bit. We managed to entertain ourselves for a while by moving the car forward a few feet at a time by just openning all the four doors and sticking a foot out to push. This proved to be surprisingly entertaining and passed a good 30 minutes that way. We did finally break out of the parking lot about 1 hr 45 after the show ended. Almost as long as the show itself......
I'll try to write a bit more about the show itself later. I tried to take pictures, I eventually figured out how to turn off the autoflash, but I don't know if anything came out.

Home at last
My first flight at 7pm was cancelled and I was rescheduled for at 9:30. This was pushed back to 11:17 and finally actually took off at 12:05 (central time). We landed uneventfully at 3:05 or so Boston time and now Im just about to crash - a new record for arrival back from a flight.

Rotten luck
I wrote this on the plane, forgot to post it when I first got here.
I have apparently seriously offended the electronics god recently. One of the reasons I haven't posted any pictures on flickr in the last month is that when i got back from that trip i discovered that the lcd screen on my camera was destroyed. No idea what happened to it, but all it does now is glow white with a black pattern in the center. I decided to try and stick it out though, just be proactive about changing the battery (can't get the low battery warning) and take extra pictures since I can't change the settings or see how the shots came out. This alone was really quite vexing. I've been fighting a long battle to hold onto a cell phone that works and people can hear me on. My first phone lasted almost 1.5 years but I have gone through a rapid succession in the last year or so. At long last I got a new phone from my dad when I was home last (beginning of August). It was a nice phone, I've been quite pleased with it and best of all people can hear me on it. No doubt my favorite phone so far in terms of features and options that I have had yet. Sadly as I was pulling Mayly's luggage out of the back of the cab when we got to Logan, one of the wheels hit my leg at apparently exactly the spot where my cell phone was. I heard a very unfortunate crunch sound and upon examination - judging from the fracture pattern in the lcd screen - it hit pretty much dead center in the screen. Basically an inch in any direction and my phone probably would have been just fine. The broken lcd image is quite pretty I'll take a picture with my camera and post it when I get a chance.
For the weekend though until I get a chance to correct this on Wednesday please note -
it still takes calls but if anyone leaves me a voicemail I'll have no way to know. The phone will be in silent most of the weekend due to my meetings so fair warning to those of you faithful still reading my blog. Similarly if anyone sends me a text message I won't be able to see it - probably ever since it will be stored locally in the phone. If you can't reach me on the phone email might be the next best bet.
Anyone want to take bets on how long before either my laptop or ipod video have their screen's broken?

whats up
Staying late at work tonight, and I'm running some jobs so I thought I would take a few minutes to blog a quick statement to the world. I'm heading off to Chicago this coming weekend for a MINOS collaboration meeting, thus the staying late. I might have been able to get out earlier tonight but I went and played frisbee for an hour or two. I have been playing most of the summer with some people from Marcus's labs and other people we have collected into the group over the course of the summer. The last few weeks have suffered low attendance, today we started out 3 v 3, had to drop down to 2v2 but eventually collected 2 more and got back up to 3v3 for the final half hour or so. Its a lot of fun and I'm getting better than I was back at the beginning of the summer. At least I think my forehand throws are a bit more consistent. Sadly, I can definitely feel some aches and pains that I know are signs my body isn't a resilient as it used to be and thats bad given how poorly I take care of myself :) I'm hoping that once the weather gets too cold for frisbee I'll be able to keep up the activity with something like racquetball, but we shall see.
