My blog. Personal thoughts, anecdotes, and musings.

Really busy lately Published February 1, 2007

I figured I should take a few minutes today to do some updates to the blog since I’ve been getting lots of emails and phone calls asking what I’ve been doing. First off, I’m working on a huge project outside of work. It’s been a lot of fun and we are making good progress. I’m very proud of the work we’ve done but we have a long long way to go.

One year Published January 8, 2007

It’s been one year since Mom passed away. It was a rough day and I still can’t sleep. I can’t believe all of the things that happened last year. A lot of good things happened to me last year but I’d really rather have her back instead. If you’re reading this, give your family a call and tell them you love them. They’re the most important thing you have, because no matter how much you’ve screwed up, they still love you.

Judge: Make bills recognizable to blind Published November 29, 2006

The government discriminates against blind people by printing money that all looks and feels the same, a federal judge said Tuesday in a ruling that could change the face of American currency. U.S. District Judge James Robertson ordered the Treasury Department to come up with ways for the blind to tell bills apart. He said he wouldn’t tell officials how to fix the problem, but he ordered them to begin working on it.

Ana had a good candy run. It was very very cold but she had a really good time. She looked very cute.

HighEdWebDev – Still Hate Planes Published October 26, 2006

We just landed in St. Paul about thirty minutes ago. The flight from Detroit was the longest flight I’ve ever been on. We spent at least twenty minutes in the plane before takeoff and it was getting quite warm. The flight itself was quite uneventful. I can’t say the same for the landing. We landed hard and then the pilot slammed on the brakes. Everyone lurched forward in their seats and you could hear the bags in the overhead compartment shift toward the front of the plane.

HighEdWebDev – Going Home Published October 25, 2006

Well, I’m sitting in the Rochester museum uploading pictures to Flickr and waiting for my plane. Security was no problem this time and the TSA screeners were really friendly and helpful. Everything went smoothly and it took literally 2 minutes for me to get cleared through. Maybe things aren’t so bad after all.
