How ya like that title, eh? Thought provoking.
Thanksgiving weekend was nice. I needed the break. Work has been crazy for the past few months and only recently began to let up.
I got to spend a little time with my Mom. I don’t make time for her very often, though I know I should. Our family isn’t close, never has been, but it’s nice to get to see her.
Forty years ago Neil Armstrong became the first human being to set foot on another celestial body. His words which are still some of the most recognizable even today were powerful and telling of a nation of people who saw hope and promise in a time of political and social unrest. I wasn’t alive then [...]
I’m sitting in a dark convention hall with about two hundred other like-minded people. The room is divided into two areas, Alpha and Bravo sections and each section consists of row after row of folding tables with all sorts of computer equipment piled on top. Everything from laptops to e-machines to water cooled gaming rigs. [...]
There has been a lot going on lately in my world. Not least among those is the purchase of a new home. After much wrangling and wrestling my wife and me along with our son, my in-laws and a crazy old uncle will be moving into a new 7000+ square foot home in the next few weeks. We close on the property this week and I am very excited to get moved in.
This is an trailer for an upcoming animated series called Cat Shit One. I won’t lie, if there is a joke in the name, it is completely lost on me but the animation is very well done and the subject matter is serious… but funny… but serious… Well… you’ll just have to check it out.
This post is titled Working Title because I finally feel like I’m working again in my writing. I’ve sent out three stories in the past two weeks; old stories that have been out around the block before but stories with promise. One story went out to the Writers of the Future contest while the other [...]
I haven’t posted here in a bit but I wanted to give an update to those who bother to read this stuff. Family stuff: Aiden is taking steps now, which is both exciting and terrifying at the same time. He’s growing up so fast. He is also sleeping through the night now after we implemented [...]
So I searched and searched but I couldn’t come up with a progress bar widget that was flexible enough for my needs. I wanted a progress bar widget that I could use to track progress on virtually any project using virtually any metric. In the end I took a well designed widget that I found [...]
As I sit at my desk waiting for President-elect Barack Obama to deliver his acceptance speech. I can’t help but feel a sense of pride in the country that I live in. To think that my son could very possibly be a few short months from his ninth birthday and not have ever known a [...]
Halloween won’t be Aiden’s first major holiday but it will be the first one that is almost entirely kid oriented. I have to admit I’m kind of excited. Not as excited as I might be if he and I were dressing in the costume idea that I had come up with. I would go as [...]
