Just when you least expect it life changes. And quickly at that. Long story short. A cold call from a recruiter on last Wednesday leads to me signing a work contract with a new employer the following Wednesday. Wow! I’ve never heard of that happening before, let alone with a company that has me this [...]

Yep. Work has been time consuming. I’ve been reading more (currently reading up "World War Z"). I’ve been focusing more on photography and boning up on my lighting skills. Been programming plenty, just all at work. Life is good, but this poor, poor, excuse for a blog is dying a horrible death. He didn’t totally [...]

Harumph. Seems like the 25-35% failure rate of XBoxes may not be far off the mark. No sooner does Microsoft extent the warranty against the 3 flashing red lights, aka: Red Ring of Death, my replacement XBox 360 goes down like a 3 dollar hooker. Do I seem bitter?

I haven’t felt like I’ve really had a handle on anything at work or at home for quite a while. I feel like I’m just trying to make it from day to day without losing my head. Literally, I sometimes feel like I’ve lost it. Not that its a bad thing. I’m really busy at [...]

I got one of my presents early since we had to go pick it out. A Tippmann A-5 with 20oz. tank and goggles. FUN!

No, not tonsil hockey. We bought a 14 game package to the Colorado Avalanche and so far have been to 2 winning games. Unfortunately the first one was preseason so it was refreshing to see this latest win against the Canuck-leheads after a couple of ties against Dallas and Minnesota. I took the little Nikon [...]

You’re probably thinking I’m on crack. How about a little back-story. I recently had a near catastrophic hard drive failure on the drive that housed all my music. I feared the worst for a while but after a stroke of luck I was able to recover most of the drive. I don’t think I lost [...]

I’m guessing I must have had some spare positive karma lying around because I just had an influx of free stuff that still has me just wondering what I did to deserve it.

This recipe can be considered heart attack on a plate. Its simplicity defies its taste and deadliness. This one is a calorie demon! But its good.

So today marked 6 years of being married. Holy hell where does the time go? Just yesterday we were scraping by in a 500 square foot apartment in Canon City and now we’re doing well, have a house and a couple of furry kids. 10 years ago, when I met this crazy lady, I never [...]

I actually have a couple of things to post but am running short on time and energy. Hopefully I’ll get the first one up soon, and then post more pics of Hawaii. I have yet another lined up based on a conversation I had while on vacation in Hawaii but that has yet to be [...]

Hawai’i is absolutely beautiful. And we haven’t even really left the Waikiki area yet except to do a seaplane ride (which was fabulous). This place is a total tourist trap but the water and weather are wonderful. Here are a couple of pics so far:

Lucky me! I get to go to Hawaii at the end of February. On top of that my birthday present from Puddles, a Canon EOS 20D, will be here early so I’ll not only have it for the trip I’ll have time to familiarize myself with the camera before we go. This is the part [...]

Wow, it has been more than 3 weeks since I last posted. I think I got the comment spam filter fixed though. It is ugly, but it works. Um. That is all.

So, wow. It has been more than 2 weeks since my last post. I’ve been busier than hell and combine that with the return of the NHL and our watching the original Firefly series on DVD I’ve just plum run out of time lately. I’ve got 3 large projects running concurrently – a PDF datasheet [...]

We just got back seeing Serenity and I have to say that it rocks. Hard. I got a little discouraged before seeing the movie by reading some reviews that harped on it for production value. To those people I say – Hogwash. Just because Lucas didn’t speed things up 300 times and sacrifice the blood [...]

I bit the bullet and entered this manually into iCal. I don’t really know if anyone here is an Avs fan but here it is. It has dates, times, locations and TV channel. It was made on Tiger but should be backwards compatible. Windows users can import the file into Outlook, Palm users can import [...]

I’m down and feeling lazy. I’m having a hard time applying myself and concentrating on projects. I’m looking for easy ways out. It could be that I’ve not been able to really finish a project at work that I’ve needed to do for some time. It’s all been rush stuff that other people decide are [...]

After 5 years of carpooling, first in a 1995 Camry and then in a 2002 Tacoma, we finally bought another car. This past Saturday we picked up a 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX. One word will suffice in describing this car. Wow.

These conversation snippets are from conversations with my Nephew. I really wish I could remember more of them as they’re always thoroughly entertaining. Adult: You’d better stop fussing in the chair or you’ll fall out and break. Then what would we do with you?Nephew: You have to throw me out with the trash? Adult: So, [...]

Or: How Gippy stunk up the neighborhood I’m not sure how to start this one. It could end up being funny but I don’t think I’m that good of a story teller. But here’s my best shot: I didn’t get around to mowing the lawn last weekend due to a stomach bug that took me [...]
