Trip to Philly

So last weekend I went to Philadelphia. My girlfriend and I spent the weekend there together and we had a blast. I really enjoy seeing the history of the city and country for that matter. We stayed in a hotel a block from Independence Hall.


This is a picture of the front of Independence Hall. In the clock tower is where the Liberty Bell used to hang before they took it down and put it in its own building.


As everyone knows Philly is the place for cheese steak sandwiches. Pat's was first and Geno's I think is better. It is a little nerve racking ordering a steak in Philly. Pat's has a nice sign helping those who are not from there to order properly. I had a wiz wit.

Finally Everyone has been asking me for a photo of Lisa and I so here you go.....



The first picture is in Independence Hall court yard. The second picture is in a park across from the hotel.

In the next few posts I will be adding more Philadelphia pictures and the stories that go with them.

Party Party 08 (Update)

My friend Mike Anderson and I have been working hard on our political party. Our membership has been growing and so we begun looking into what it takes to get on to the Wisconsin presidential ballot. It turns out that u need 10,000 signatures from people in the state. Along with that at least 1,000 of them needs to come from 3 separate voting districts. That doesn't seem so tough so we are going to start collecting signatures. We have to file all the papers by June 2nd.

So this leads me to wonder what does it take to get on the ballot in other states?

Party Party 08

About a month ago I was havening a few beers with my friend Mike Anderson and we were talking about the state of politics. After deciding that both main parties are stupid and don't get anything done we decided to start our own.

We called it the Party Party. Mike won our parties nomination for President, and he chose me to run for Vice President.

In the next few days I will be outlining our platform and what we stand for. Also I will list some of the people who are currently endorsing us in the coming election.

Mix 08

Yes I am going to Mix 08. The conference is hosted by Microsoft and held at the Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The dates of the conference are March 5th, 6th and 7th.

Last year I went to Mix 07 and had a lot of fun. There they released SilverLight, and had many sessions on the coming release of VS2008. I also met some PM's from microsoft, had drinks at Pure with some of the MySpace IT people, and saw the Las Vegas Pussycat Dolls.

So Mix is billed as "The Next Web Now". This year Mix is focusing on VS2008, SilverLight, MVC, Dynamic Languages, LINQ and much more.

Check out the Mix08 website, ad remember I will be blogging from the show on anything interesting that is discussed, and will try to remember to take some pictures and post those too.
