Since I discussed it with them this weekend, I decided to dig up my link and blog about it so that everyone can read this if they are interested. During my Masters work at WIU, I took a class on forward looking computing where we projected future computing trends based on bleeding edge stuff thats […]

WARNING: This is what happens when I get to watch log files rotate by for four hours straight. You’ve been warned. While I am not technically in the office right now, I am stuck awake monitoring the status of my application. This being said, I have had a lot of time to reflect on things […]

My work/life balance is forfeit. I went to work tonight for a quick code migration before D&D. I had been receiving pages all day saying that certain things weren’t going well in the system, but so long as they happen intermittantly its not that big of a deal. I sat down to migrate the code […]

Last night I decided to go to Mapleton to get in an extra workout this week. I had originally planned to take Tuesday and Wednesday night off this week, but with recent events being as they are I figured it would be wise to go to class tonight. Class was extremely small last night, probably […]

Last night I had a weird dream. It was set at a online gaming convention, where Tasha and I got to meet the guy that painted the Shivan Dragon from Magic and the guy that did the box art for my Quake2: Extremities foray into the industry. This whole convention was set in my old […]

I am so completely not a fan of horseracing, however its VERY cool that Giacomo, a 50-1 odds colt won the Kentucky Derby. Gotta love the underdog. Underhorse. Bob Dole.
