"Talk is Cheap" the saying goes. With the Web and simple journaling applications talk has become more than cheap, it has become free for anyone who wishes to say something. EXPRESSION is my two cents worth.
My lack of recent posts suggests what is true—work has been ridiculously busy as of late. We are very, very near to completing a major web project application that is entirely unique from anything we have ever done in the past. This project was an “initiation” project for one of our new developers. He has [...]
This past Tuesday morning, I had to stop and have a punctured tire repaired which meant that I had a few minutes to kill while waiting. I decided to check out the new Starbuck’s here in town (as in our first official Starbuck’s—we’ve had a Barnes & Noble Café for quite sometime now, but this [...]
Today, I happened to be using Google Maps and decided to take a satellite look at where I stayed while I was in New Orleans helping with the rebuild effort this past March. I quickly located the city park that was home to our tent city and recognized the outlines in the grass of hundreds [...]
On August 20th I competed (for the second time) in the St. Paul Inline Marathon. 26.2 miles of inline skating excitement. This year I did a minute better than last year with a time of 1:47:18.6. Not bad for a guy who didn’t really practice at all this season. Last year, I really tried to [...]
Yesterday, Erica and I did our laundry together for the first time…ever. Kind of a big step in the grand scheme of things. I mean, her underwear and my underwear shared the same wash water. That’s pretty huge. Everything was going great until Erica started sorting the first load to come out of the dryer. [...]
Call me obsessed, call me financially minded, call me whatever you’d like. It seems as of late many things that I’ve spent time thinking about have been money related. For the last few months, I’ve been mentally debating myself about buying a new bed. The bed I currently use is “that bed” we all somehow [...]
On Tuesday, I came across a ’98 Dodge Durango that was for sale by owner. The truck had 78,000 mile on it, still had a two year extended warranty and was overall in very good condition. The seller was only asking $5,900 for the vehicle. The blue book was a lot closer to $7,500. I [...]
Yesterday, four of us from work became team “Gang Green” and headed to Drugan’s for a La Crosse area golf scramble. The game was a best-ball tournament against other area businesses. One of the four of us is actually a really good golfer, one of us can hold his own and the last two are, [...]
At my place of employment, we work hard. No mincing words, no beating around the bush; as web developers in a highly internet-based world, there is a lot of work to keep us busy and we strive to complete our projects as professionally and quickly as possible. But sometimes, we need a break. Thankfully, I [...]
WordPress 2.0.3 – that’s the version of WordPress that I just upgraded to. I had been running a version 1.5 derivative and had been concerned about how difficult it might be to upgrade as I have really customized the system to my liking. Guess what I found out? It was a piece of cake to [...]
