I turned 24 yesterday. It was pretty uneventful since I took the day off of work and just bummed around the house. All of the celebration happened during the weekend. Saturday, my wife and I met her family in Des Moines and we celebrated at the Cracker Barrel there. On Sunday, we went over to [...]
Last night saw my wife’s and my first try at Capoeira. The Capoeira Angola Palmares school down in Iowa City welcomed us and we started right in by learning to ginga (the basic capoeira move). We also learned esquiva lateral (lateral escape) and aú (a trimmed down cartwheel). After two hours, my legs were tired, [...]
It’s been almost a month and a half and my blogging has been quite absent. Here’s what has been happening…
Life
Our trip to San Jose (last month) went great. We had 4 days to bum around Silicon Valley and the surrounding areas. Since this was a vacation, we decided not to do too [...]
Friday night, September and I went to see Mini-Kiss. Yup, that’s right. Mini-Kiss. If you ever get a chance to see them, don’t. Not only did we have to wait an hour longer than we expected to see them, we were sorely disappointed. I figured a Kiss tribute band would actually play the songs. The [...]
I saw a commercial last night for the American Red Cross urging people to give blood. It would have been an alright commercial (aside from the poor acting which I’ve come to expect from all commercials), except they were urging people to give blood to save their own lives. Are we so self absorbed that [...]
So, tonight we had a big storm. Lightning, wind, rain, hail, tornadoes… the whole kit-n-kaboodle. We had to go to the first floor laundry room and our cat didn’t like it (we ended up putting her into one of the non-running dryers so she could “hide”). It wasn’t really bad here, but [...]
Ok, so I said I would keep up with this blogging thing, but I’m not doing a very good job. It’s been over two months since I last blogged. What the heck is my problem? So here’s the run-down of what I’ve been doing:
Work
I’ve been steadily plugging away at Master Packing’s web [...]

Just a couple of random questions that I’ve had over the last week:
When did they start showing reruns of primetime shows in the middle of a season? (My Name is Earl, The Office, Supernatural, etc.)
When did it become cool for guys to wear girls clothes? (I keep seeing it over and over on American Idol)

So, I had no clue that my blog was read by people other than people on The Planet and my wife. It turns out that someone from Django read my comments and thought they were good enough to put in a blog post on the main Django site. Good thing I didn’t say [...]

Man, I’ve been busy lately and haven’t had any time to work on Coaster. I haven’t even really had much time for anything other than work. Although I’ve had fun doing it, it’s been hectic.
Most of my time lately has been spent working on converting Master Packing’s current website over to Django so [...]
