I don’t know if this counts as Killy’s first step or not. It was while I was babysitting while Jen was at work. I was putting some food away in the fridge after fixing a sandwich for lunch. Killy always wants to play inside the fridge when it’s open, so he had […]

I downloaded a time tracker application the other day to keep track of how many hours a day I actually do project-related (aka, billable hours) work, and how much of the day is administrative (answering emails, deleting spam, creating proposals) and interruptions (phone calls, bathroom breaks, and meals). It’s depressing. Yesterday I clocked […]

You absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely have to read this letter to President Bush, very well written by Paul Kershaw, aka brighn.
How many, Mr. President?
Mr. President, Mr. Bush,

I think he takes after me in his tastes! A few weeks ago Jen and I got takeout Outback steaks, and of course got a Bloomin’ Onion as well. Well we let Killy try the Bloomin’ Onion and he loved it! We even gave him pieces dipped in the horseradish sauce, and […]

I could have sworn that Killy grew an inch and a half while he was gone over the weekend! He looks so grown up….
Poor Jen is feeling bad though. She had to let Erin drive home on the way back from Emporia. Poor Jen!

Well I tried the Doom3 demo last night, but didn’t get very far into it. My video card kept crapping out because I had the settings too high. I’m going to have to dial that back a bit and try again I did play some of my old favorite, Quake […]

Well this weekend will be quite different for me. Erin’s taking classes in Emporia this weekend (as she does once a month or so), but this time Jen and Killy are going with her. This will be my first night without Killy, and my first night without Jen in a long time.
So this weekend […]

Here’s a very cool article at NewScientist about things science still has yet to understand — like the placebo effect and dark energy. Neat.
