Life As Nick Starr

Yesterday, despite coming down with a cold (and I have officially lost my voice today), I started a new consultant gig with a company down in Sarasota, Fl. It isn’t that far from St. Pete, but there is the Sunshine Skyway bridge to cross, which is quite the impressive bridge. I’ve decided to just stay down this way instead of the long commute daily.

Yesterday was the first day and from what I saw of the job, it is quite simple and something I can do no problem for the next 4-6-8 weeks. This is also the highest paying job I’ve ever had as well, so it will help in my move fund to San Francisco/San Jose, which I play on doing once this job has ended.

Last night I played poker at the local dog track down here, which has the best looking poker room in all of the Bay area, and ended up walking out with an extra $350. I still plan on going back to Pinellas as I have a few items from Amazon being shipped, and the new Apple Bluetooth Headset looks quite impressive, and hit store shelves yesterday.

As far as I can tell there is little to no 3G coverage down here, so my 3G+ card from AT&T isn’t the most useful, but there are always coffee shops with WiFi. Well, until later, take care.

Well I’ve been growing out my hair for nearly a year+ now and it is quite long. I’m not about to go radical and cut it all off, but I am looking to get it shortened.

I have no clue on what style I am looking for though…if you have any suggestions with pictures feel free to post them or email them to nickstarr (at) gmail (dot) com. Again, I’m not looking for something short, but not excessively long either.

Here’s a picture from Engadget and the Fake Steve Jobs blog taken of me this past Friday while placing the first iPhone call:

Update: Well I went to Toni & Guy, a place I’ve been before for color, and well they certainly took me serious when I said “shorter”. I don’t really care for how it looks now, so no pictures will be posted until it grows out some. I’m also thinking of shaving off my beard, and gain a few years back, as I barely look 21 when I have it shaved.

I did go out and buy some New Balance 992’s, as my New Balance shows that I got back in the Navy, while weren’t that used, were looking slightly old.
