It’s now September, which means I’ve finished my fourth quarter – and my first year – at the UC Davis Working Professional (weekend) MBA program. It’s been incredibly interesting and rewarding, and also a lot of fun, but let me tell you how much I’ve enjoyed a full month off!
During the Summer 2009 quarter I took two classes: Forecasting and Managerial Research Methods, and Product Management.

I did my first triathlon this Sunday. The Sprint Triathon at Pacific Grove. To summarize: I didn’t train or prepare well, the water was very very cold, my transition times totally suck, I totally killed the bike section, my transition times really suck, and I run like a total wuss after biking and swimming. Oh, and I placed 17th!!!!!!
Sara and I had a few friends over for a BBQ. I tried out my fifth release candidate of “Will’s awesome brown-sugar dry rub”.
Sara and I bushwhacked up a rocky riverbed in Pomo Canyon near Hwy 1. Beautiful trees and a great camping spot. We’re coming back with tents for sure.
Get a bike that’s been dropped once or twice, has cosmetic dings, but doesn’t have a lot of miles. If you get one with <2k miles, little the original owner could have done to it would be really bad. More mileage = more of a chance they never changed the oil. Don't spend a lot of money on your first bike.
I was in the UK and Ireland on business and had a meeting with a lab manager at the University of Sheffield. When our family lived in England we lived in Sheffield! I swung by our old house and it’s funny how much I remember.
