Dark Side of the Carton

Christmas is now over. My how quickly it ends after so much preparation. This year I had a great Christmas. I got to see all my family and I got some wonderful presents. Most of all Ethan was old enough to understand what was going on. Seeing him get excited over his gifts was the [...]

Last night the Spurs took on the Bucks up in the Bradley Center. It was one of the more painful games to watch. Andrew Bogut, the #1 draft pick who needs a little refinement, became the X-Factor of the night and turned the tide of the game.
Bogut and the rest of the Bucks got what [...]

Last week I was putting a drive into one of those little 5.25″ external USB enclosures and I accidently touched some exposed connectors where the power cables plugs in. Needless to say I got a little shock. It was quite embarassing. It also took a few days for my arm to feel normal again. Can [...]

I figured my last days here at my current job would be full of bustle but it seems the exact opposite is true. While I have work to do, it is not nearly as busy as I expected. I will have plenty of consultant level work to do here well after I leave here so [...]

This should be proof enough that kids these days are completely insane.

Being a parent is a funny thing. Sometimes it happens by choice and sometimes it doesn’t. Either way, the fact remains that being a parent is one of the single most frustrating yet rewarding things in life. Dealing with a needy infant can get old. Dealing with a crazy toddler eradicates the patience threshold of [...]

This was a busy weekend for me. I accepted the offer from Rackspace and I start there on January 3rd. I am still a bit nervous about the whole ordeal, but I guess that is part of taking risks and being outside your comfort zone.
On the sports front, Judson got whipped by Euless Trinity for [...]
