Hello there.

You have stumbled across my haven on the web and are asking yourself the same question I asked myself the last time I was visiting you. Now dig around, see what you like.

If I had a sponsor...

The nerd blogger

A blog -- soon coming here

I have been tweaking the layout and look of my website, and am finally happy with it. Now to code a blog, so that I can have all the normal features of a blog (comment, time, permalink, rss). Keep your eyeballs peeled.

Just switched to a Google G1 phone

And am trying to ramp up with this sucker. The navigation is a bit whacked and some of the applications don't do what I expect, but they are all free. Wish T-Mobile had the Apple products. Or a way to synchronize contacts off of my SIM. It is nice finally having a way to use contacts with storage, that has the ability to store multiple phones, email and address with a single person. And that has the ability to use those addresses to generate a map.

How do you relax?

After no vacation for the last 8 months, the wife and I finally took some time to completely remove ourselves from our environment, travel to Iowa (the source of all fun), and decompress. Usually when we take vacations like this we end up bringing a laptop or two. Based on activities, this time those suckers stayed home.

Heck, I didn't check email, voicemail or really watch television. Only once did I find myself texting a co-worker to find out what was going on with stock, after hearing a news report on the radio.

What I failed to realize was that I was wound tight. If you have never owned a clock that you wind then the imagery will not bring to mind what happens when you over-wind a clock. The internals explode in a cacophony loud enough to make you take a step back and quickly withdraw your hands.

What did I do?
I went fishing, camping, shopping; simply relaxed.

Take the time to take care of yourself or you will not be able to take care of those around you.

  • Catch and release
  • Private ponds and lakes only
  • Yes, the camouflage helped me to sneak up on the bass (the crappie and blue-gill were less intelligent)

Here we are again...

So tired of trying to figure out what I'll do. Try a custom developed solution, try an out of the box one and back to custom. This space will be my blog so watch and see what gets posted into here.
