Goings on

Posted on by

I finally booked my trip to San Francisco yesterday. I’ll be there between Saturday, August 11 and Wednesday, August 15. Hotwire came up with a great deal: roundtrip airfare (United/Frontier) and 4 nights in a 4-star hotel (Hyatt) for a mere $450.00! Not too shabby at all. I’ve never been out to California, but the purpose of this trip is to see if it’s somewhere I would like to live and work after I’m done with school in December. Lord knows there isn’t a shortage of web-related jobs in that city!

Jill and I went to a Royals game with my mom on Saturday. It was a great game, with the Royals winning by a run in the bottom of the 9th inning. Got myself a lovely green ball cap while I was at the stadium.

In freelance news: I’m continuing work on a large project that may or may not still interest the customer that requested it. I figure if he still wants it, great; if not, it’ll still be a good site for my portfolio since everything is being built from scratch. More details later, perhaps.

I’ve started re-reading all of my Terry Pratchett books. I’ve accumulated so many that I’ve forgotten most of the stories. It’s like having new books all over again! A picture of most of the collection: http://flickr.com/photos/kschaller/759053096/.

Bye for now.

  1. Ooh I love San Francisco. It’s artsy and classy at the same time. Plus all the guys have good style there. ;)

    One summer I read a lot of Terry Pratchett books. And then I got burnt out. But I think that they are really good reads.

  2. Don’t forget about the sunny-side-of-the bay, Oakland. :) Its where I was born.

    I rather like the bay area and Northern CA in general, but it seems like everyone in California has an hour car commute. I really can’t see myself ever putting up with something like that. Which is the main reason why I’ve been leaning towards having Portland, Oregon as my “where I want to get a job and maybe get old in” city.

  3. Oh yea, Terry Pratchett kicks ass. I think he’s actually writing an adult novel to be released this fall, I was disappointed that he skipped last year.

  4. Let’s hope I can avoid that typical hour-long commute by simply telecommuting to work most of the time ;-) Oregon doesn’t sound too shabby, although I’ve never been there, either. I definitely won’t be missing Missouri winters, I’ll tell you that much…
