Of course a new fairtilizer mix. BTW they are hiring rails devs in Genvoa, snowboarding a plus.

Well Munich and Oktoberfest got a little out of hand. Best summarized with a chronological riniculist:

• Discovered the Radler: beer with lemonade is my favorite and soon be portland’s

• Had Dinner with TJ and Joselyn at one of the Augustiner Brew Houses, super ornate and rad
• Shredded ridiculously hard, met some friends (Love ya Ruth and other friends)
• Gay dance club, with said new freinds
• Apprently Spanish people r my favorite counrty
  • I don’t really recall having that thought, but coulda happened
  • btw non-techiefolks, you can follow my doings quickly and timely on Twitter
• Missed the subways, had to walk 6k home
• Threatened to kill some locals

• Trusty blackberry got me to the subway and that got me to TJ’s
• Charged up my mobile devices and then gave TJ a hug goodbye (still in bed)

Eighty Euros got me from Munich to Verona and another twelve got me to Bologna (home sweet home for now). The Italian Alps were amazing! Like really really amazing. I was cruising along, drinking a beer, through this little valley, where the grass is an awesome shade of green and all grows like it was just cut, all the house are rad looking. I rode past this little castle covered in red flowers. I was sitting directly across from this beautiful Italian woman and then all of a sudden a single tear rolls down her check. Her face showed no emotion, but her eyes were telling. That with the scenery, put the whole weekend and the month to come into perspective for me….. Fast forward, I hop out of a taxi and get to meet my coworker, @dvd for the first time. He’s got an awesome 3 bedroom apartment, I get my own room, 2 rad kids (Jacamo 12, and Lorenzo 9) and is an amazing phototagrapher which is good for me because I love pictures of myself. We have been cooking a lot, the food is of course awesome. This weekend I am CouchSurfing in Rome. I also served up some creepers with a little play on the classic My Dic, UR Dic.
