Summer update 2006
Published August 2, 2006
Well, just in time for the heatwave I’m pulling into Elizabeth City. While getting the lay of the land I’m commiting to memory all the places with truly cold air conditioning (as the one in the living room seems to have seen better days); but all in all we’ve found this to be a friendly place with fun things to do. And if you find yourself bored the beaches and Hampton Roads are minutes away by car.
Speaking of which, I’m throwing in the freelance towel for a while and will be helping the fine folks at hamptonroads.com reinvent some of their sites. I’ve really enjoyed meeting everyone there so far, and have been encouraged already by their love for all things 37 Signals. I also really like Norfolk, which seems to be sort of metro like Washington, DC but without the women in sunglasses that are bigger than their heads elbowing each other for a better seat at the martini place, or the dudes in French cuffs double parking in front of your favorite sushi place that no one went to until the Express decided it was cool. In fact, I haven’t seen a Blackberry *yet*.
Now, I’ve touched this hot PowerBook long enough. It’s back to that tub full of ice water for me. ~
