happy monday to me!

so, here’s a personal update for you… apparently for the last few days I’ve been getting ripped off,….. someone’s been busy with my credit card in Portugal. My American Express card is showing all these charges ranging from fast food, gas, to automotive repair in Portugal where clearly ( and sadly) I am NOT!

awesome…

lucky for me AMEX is great at taking care of these things… and at least this time it was fast food and gasoline and NOT military grade ammunition like someone from Turkey decided to charge up on my card back in 2003…

about the only charge on here that’s mine is Wall Street Journal subscription…

…also judging by the charges, tha’s one stylish (and well feed) criminal..i only hope he shared his newfound (all be it temporary) wealth with someone special..cause that’s a lot to pay for a meal in Portugal for one person…

As gallantly pointed out by ellen it’s been a few month since last post of any personal relevance.
A lot has happened over the last year most of which (of course ) will not be mentioned here. However, some of the relevant personal highlights would probably include these:

Back to school, working on an MBA. Currently in the home stretch of the last couple of classes…(graduation May 09)
Sean and Rachel getting engaged, (wedding December 28, 2008), website here….
Busy with all sorts of work, school and other randomness that just seems to take up ALL of the available time.

o yeah, and apparently, i collect these now…

my site, the iPhone version

Since I don’t feel like posting anything useful, I figured I should at least share that my website now can be accessed via shiny new iPhone interface.

Since this site doesn’t really see ton’s of traffic, this upgrade is mostly for me, so that I can do entries from my phone without having to load the whole thing. But, if you are one of the “lucky” ones that has an iPhone I’m sure you’ll appreciate the new improved loading speed. Of course, once the 3G iPhone comes out ( as rumored that will happen on the 9th of next month) then you don’t have to worry about this nonsense as you will be able to browse most everything at the new and improved speeds..:

Obviously I’m a little out of practice… Although Nike says “Relive How you Run”, I say there are some runs that are better left forgotten:)

As the spring semester began everything was a little crazy. Work, school and other random stuff just seemed to pile up to the point where i didn’t know where to begin. Now, a few days into the semester and the new year things have finally began to make sense. Schedules, lists, sticky notes, iPhone alarms, they are all to thank for the seemingly rare commodity that the organized life has become these days. However, as routines and schedules settle in, when there is that point where future values and demand curves no longer make sense I find myself missing this guy. . . from all the nonsense that is not available on television as a result of the writers strike i have to admit “The Office” is the one thing i do miss. It was nice having blissful 30 24 minutes of ironically realistic TV.

BRING BACK THE OFFICE !!!

when i grow up…i want this

Andriy — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 19:04:38 +0000

I don’t think i have ever been as excited about anything in the kitchen as i am about this thing… The last few weeks i have been using my aunt’s new BOSCH stove and it is amazing. Never mind the fact that it does a pretty good job cooking, this is possibly one of the most technologically advanced household appliances i have ever seen. It has many phenomenal features and if you are looking into getting a new kitchen cook top I definitely recommend researching this thing.

I’m not exactly sure how much it cost, and my guess it is a lot, here’s the website and this item is definitely going to be in my “When I grow up I want this” list…

So, thumbs up to BOSCH Group for this product!

some more updates…

Now that the school is done I am headed out to San Francisco for few weeks. Although there is plenty to be done at home work in San Francisco is a little bit more interesting. Besides working I will be doing some fun stuff as well as just spending some time with the family.

UPDATE: As I’m writing this on my phone we are stuck in lake shore traffic trying to get to the airport. Although weather today is not that bad Chicago rush hour traffic can be just as dreadful.

DOWNTOWN CHICAGO

finally, some updates…
I have been meaning to update my blog for several month now. But due to busy school load doing that was simply impossible. Now semester is over, work is on hold, and i will be doing some much needed cleanup around these parts…

For right now i added some new design and will be cleaning up my archives a little. I also moved from my subdomain (andriy.kharkovyy.com) to the main domain (kharkovyy.com) so now some things will change. For those that use feeds to access my blog you might need to update your feeds with the new url.
I will do some real blog updates soon but for now i’m just happy i was able to change the look…

as always… you can check out my flickr i tend to update that quite frequently… http://www.flickr.com/photos/kharkovyy
