Working
This is how I used to feel when I was working. To think that some sculpture at the Louvre exactly captured this emotion is very coincidental.

Paris Acid Trip
This building was right next to our hotel. It was being renovated, and they wrapped it with this trippy cover, even integrating actual architectural elements, to make this wavy effect. Tres cool!
Damn Discount Airlines
Vueling is a Barcelona-based airline. The great thing about them is the $50 I spent for a one way ticket to Paris from Barcelona. The BAD thing is how many seats they jam into the plane. As you can see, there's barely enough room for a big fat American guy.
Other fun stories from this flight: The pilots of the plane seemed to act like the Airbus was a fighter jet. They took lots of sharp turns and generally increased my fear of flying by a few degrees. Also, right as we were about to land in Paris, they suddenly aborted the landing, taking the engines to max and heading up at about a 50 degree angle (well, it felt that way to me). After prying my fingers off the seat in front of me, the captain announced that there was an airplane on the runway causing them to abort the landing.
Great - near misses. That's ALL I need!
I Love How She Looks at Me
Yes, I mentioned that I'm in love. This is a picture of us from Paris, and the camera caught Kate looking at me that way. I love it when she does that. She always tries to do it when I'm not looking, but I catch her sometimes.
It makes my day, week, month, year...

My favorite butcher shop
This is the place Andy, Amee and I ate and had lots of wine one night. Well, I think Andy ate there every night. It was delicious, of course. Barcelona was a blast.

Drew Scripps Surf 2-21-07
Great shot of my buddy (and surf instructor), Drew, getting a nice wave at Scripps Pier in San Diego this morning. Sometimes I wish I was sitting out in the lineup with him! Ok, I always wish that...

Sagrada Familia Facade
Sagrada Familia is an incredible cathedral that's been under construction for about 120 years. It was redesigned by Gaudi when he took over the construction shortly after it begun.
Barcelona Apartment Patio
Because we booked so late for Barcelona accommodations, we "had" to rent an apartment through a vacation rentals website. It was a nice little one bedroom for 80 Euro per night. Not bad considering hotels were going for around 900 Euro per night due to the conference.
This picture is taken of the deck we had. We were on the top floor of the building and this little patio was definitely a highlight.
Barcelona at Night
Kate & I saw this beautiful building on the way to dinner one night while walking through the Eixemple district of Barcelona. The entire city is gorgeous and the weather was wonderful. This is just one example, but buildings like this were everywhere.
Seriously, Don't Swim in this Fountain
As if the no swimming sign were not enough, they also point out that you can be ELECTROCUTED if you DO swim in the fountain. I guess the Spaniards have not quite figured out how to make a safe fountain!
Barcelona Party
Having fun with the 3GSM party crew on Monday night. Andy and Paul met up with Kate & I and we had many drinks and good fun. From left to right, the party crew is: Paul, Kate, Drew, Amee & Andy.

Passeig Del Born
Captured this shot in Barcelona during the 3GSM mobile conference. I really like the feel, especially in sepia tones.
