Wow, it's been a few days since I've said anything. Since then I spent a day at an amusement park (Kings Dominion near Richmond, Virginia), worked, slept, spent time with a friend discussing possible business/project collaborations and watched too much TV. Oh yeah, I also updated my website and posted an incomplete but functional new 'professional' site.

At King's Dominion I had a good time. It has been years since I've been there. There are more roller coasters now, but they got rid of some of the fun non-coaster rides. That made me a little sad, but the coasters were fun. Since it was a Wednesday and not a holiday the crowds weren't bad. There were only 2 times when we had to wait 45+ minutes for a ride. One of those waits was for a ride that lasted 20 seconds or so. Yes it's disproportionate, but now I have an idea of what it's like to be launched from an aircraft carrier while straped to the nose of an F/A 18 Hornet :) Generally I think of myself as not having fun (as if there were virtue in being emotionally numb) but many of the photos taken on the coasters featured me with a big ridiculous grin. Now when people as me what I like I can say fast acceleration and speed. That's not to say I didn't get bored from time to time on some of the rides, but it was a good day.
