Yesterday we had what some would call a blizzard (and by some, I mean the National Weather Service). It didn’t snow much, but it rained a whole heck of a lot (which froze) and the wind blew somewhere around 40-50 mph which caused a lot of power failures in the area. My parents’ [...]
Capoeira
Classes have been going quite well and both my wife and I got to play in the rhoda for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We both mostly just did the ginga and threw some meia lua de frente, but it was fun. Last night, Mestre Nô (the Grand Mestre of [...]
Yesterday was my wife’s and my 2 year anniversary. I can’t believe that it’s been that long… time flew!! For our special day, I got her a Nikon Coolpix S6. She loved it and it also works with Linux! It can be used either as a USB mass storage device, or [...]
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 [...]
We just booked our flight and hotel for the Dojo Developer Day on May 13 in Mountain View, CA. We’re flying into San Jose and staying at a hotel a ways from the airport. It should be a fun experience driving in California, since I’m used to driving out here in the sticks. [...]

For my birthday, my lovely wife gave me The Message. It’s a translation of the Bible into today’s language. I absolutely love it. Here’s a comparison:
Psalms 23 (NIV)
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he [...]
Tomorrow (Sunday) is my birthday. I don’t really feel any older… except that when I go to Burger King, the kids at the register call me “Sir”.
So, it’s been a long time and the last time I blogged I said I’d have a release of Coaster, but I don’t. I do have Coaster converting music files to wav… I just have to code in the actual burning. Hopefully I’ll get some time to do that this week. I’m [...]
This weekend we’re staying at my wife’s aunt and uncle’s in Omaha, NE. They live in a pretty nice neighborhood and right across the street from the Zebra pen of the Henry Doorly Zoo. But for some reason, last night someone thought it would be funny to smash the driver’s door window of [...]
