Power Outage!Originally uploaded by chrisdrum.

Update: Power came on around 4-5pm on Saturday. So that’s almost 24 hours. Piece of crap crap…

Came home from work today to a massive complex wide power outage! 4 hours later, still no power. Oh, by the way, the water lines are out also! This complex is managed by amateurs! One big amateur show! We had to walk up 22 flights of stairs!

i’ll upload more pictures once / if the power comes back…

This trip to the U.S. is almost over.  It is Saturday night; I return to Beijing on Tuesday (flight out Tuesday morning, arrive in Beijing on Wednesday evening).

I have uploaded 3 sets of photos just now:

• Gartner Symposium ITxpo - Orlando, FL
• Outsource World New York - NYC
• Wine Tasting in the Texas Hill Country

Enjoy!

10212006 Speeding Warning - Altered Scan

Originally uploaded by chrisdrum.

Was driving into Austin from the Texas Hill Country after a day of wine tasting with friends. No, I was not drunk, I was perfectly fine to drive.

Any way, I got pulled over at 10:05 PM or so for doing 69 in a 55 zone. That was my first ever time being pulled over. A Michigan driver driving a New Mexico rental car in Texas - I thought this would be trouble. But the deputy was nice and let me off with a warning. See?

My October trip is confirmed. I’m leaving on the 8th, first stop is Orlando, Fl.  There for a week, then swinging up to New York City for 3 days or so.  Then off to Austin, TX.  There for a week.  Then back to Beijing.  Unfortunately, I couldn’t add Seattle to this trip as I wanted to.  Hopefully next time.
