My blog. Personal thoughts, anecdotes, and musings.
Punks stealin’ my stuff Published April 15, 2006
We woke up this morning to find out that somebody (I’m thinking at least two people) broke into our car last night and stole our stereo. I’ll say that again. Our $150 stereo was stolen from our locked car in front of our house last night. Thankfully they didn’t do too much damage to the car. They did bend up the passenger-side door a bit. The lesson learned though is that possessions are fleeting and it really doesn’t matter what you have, it’s who you have.
Extended holiday weekend Published April 14, 2006
I’m going to take some time off from work (both University and otherwise) and relax for the next few days. I plan to do as little work as possible and instead spend my time playing video games, doing some music stuff, playing with Ana, and just wasting time. I haven’t done that in a while. I’ve managed to make it through to the end of Lent with only two accidental incidents with chocolate!
Battlefield Band Published April 7, 2006
Dad and I went out to the Battlefield Band concert last night. He’d been wanting to see them for quite a while and I figured I would go. It was a chance for us to get some quality time in, and I figured that I would enjoy the show even though I’d never heard of them. I was right. It was a great show. They were very tight and extremely talented.
Home again Published April 6, 2006
Training was rough. I sat through three days of pretty intense stuff and I’ll be lucky if I can even remember a quarter of it. We did learn some really interesting things and I hope that there’s a way for us to use some of that at work. One thing I know for sure…. I am so glad to be home. Staying by myself in a hotel room away from my family is not something I enjoyed at all.
Training again Published April 3, 2006
I’m back in Madison again. This hotel sucks. It has nice rooms and its very well-kept, but it doesn’t have anything nearby. No close restaurants, no stores, nothing. When you don’t have a car, it’s a bit rough. Im here for Oracle security training. I am excited to learn something new but I would much rather be home with my family. At least I can get some quiet time to get some projects done.
Buzzwords – Defining “Enterprise Applications” Published March 29, 2006
Vital enterprise applications are for proactive organizations leveraging collective synergy to think outside the box and formulate their key objectives into a win-win game plan with a quality-driven approach that focuses on empowering key players to drive-up their core competencies and increase expectations with an all-around initiative to drive up the bottom-line.
Dad’s adventure Published March 29, 2006
I talked with Dad a few days ago. He sure had an interesting few days. As he was driving north on the highway towards home, his van was rear-ended. Dad was going the speed limit, and so the guy that hit him must have been going considerably faster than that. That’s pretty scary. Dad said he probably would have lost control of the vehicle if he had been driving the Saturn instead of the van.
I don’t like to relax Published March 7, 2006
I’ve always known this, but it’s really been noticeable lately. I can’t really sit down on the couch and zone out anymore. My brain keeps moving so fast, thinking of the projects I’m working on or music I want to play. I can’t sit still. Perhaps I’m addicted to work? I’ve got three projects going on right now, and that doesn’t include my day job. That, and I think I’ve decided to write a book.
