Today more or less marks my second week here in Paris.  The first week was marked by jet lag.  I was just in a completely unpleasant,  zombie-fied state.  I couldn’t stay awake at work, I couldn’t sleep at the hotel room, and when I finally did fall into slumber, it would be like 1-2 hours [...]

2010…  stay tuned for updates.

Snapped a paparazzi shot of Helen while she was busy reading the menu.  Good thing she got her new glasses – I’ve never known anyone else who pores over a menu so intensely, studying each entree to look for that perfect dish.  The highlight of the meal was the carpaccio.  One rose colored sheet of [...]

I’ve been using Chrome for the past week or so and have been pretty happy with it. Although it doesn’t (currently) have all of the bells and whistles as Firefox, such as addons, it makes up for it in speed and efficiency. One useful feature of Chrome is “Incognito Mode” and not for [...]

Things started off great in the morale department. I had gotten less than 6 hours [...]

Warning: Lame programming entry
If you are like me, you might have the bad habit of editing small pieces of code, building it, then running the code, then doing it again. Sometimes if I’m distracted, I forget if I even ran the build. I kept wishing that Ant added a time stamp to show [...]

March – Phoenix Arizona for Aaron’s bachelor party.
March – Huntsville for work.
April – Hunstville, again
May – New York for Branda’s wedding.
May – Memorial day in Omaha to see parents?
