Old friend needs help

Internet’s a funny place sometimes. Just checking my digg feed this morning and I see J Robbins’ name. I know J back to high school days. He’s a bass player in the indie band Jawbox, and was once in Government Issue — for those familiar with the DC punk scene. J [...]

eBay: G5

My G5 PowerMac is on eBay this week. Bid away!
It’s a good machine, but I just don’t have a use for it since I got the MacBook Pro.

Smoke detectors

Last night, on the coldest night of the year, literally 10-15 minutes after the boys happily drifted off to sleep, the smoke detectors all started blaring. Oy. Now, there was no obvious sign of a problem, no odor or visible smoke — but, it was the first night we had used the fireplace [...]

Ketchup

I’m way behind on the blog, on a number of counts. But, I thought I’d at least play catchup on the professional situation. I’ve committed the majority of my hours to two ventures. First, I’m contracting back to my former employers for 20 hours a week, primarily to work on developing a [...]

Family site now in Wordpress

Our Family site, mostly maintained by Kt, is now in Wordpress, too. It was a bit more of a bugger to convert, but I think I got it all sorted out. I didn’t make it pretty yet, but I had to tie up loose end to shut down my personal server and get [...]

Independence day announcement

“Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom.”
–Albert Einstein
This has been in the works for several weeks, but it has been hush-hush at the office until yesterday so I was keeping my mouth shut. I’ve turned in notice at my job and will be working [...]

Goodbye Friend

Those of you that follow the news may have heard about an arrest gone wrong at a Florida prison yesterday, which resulted in two deaths.
The Federal agent (good guy) that died was a past friend, Bill Sentner. At the time I knew him, he was with the Secret Services’ Vice-Presidential detail.
My friend John Palmer [...]

Spending money

I spent some money this week. UPS is in the process of delivering a new MacBook Pro (15″) for Kt and a new iPod for me. I love my MacBook, and Kt was hurting for a new machine. She pretty much only uses my old original 400 MHz TiBook, and it’s just [...]
