Well you've bombed past the 1000 mark in my prolonged absence! Feel free to frequent it slightly less in order to give me a chance of overtaking you!

Mr. Padgett. Your lack of words is disconcerting. Do you live still?

...I tell a lie, you are well in there with nearly twice as many points as me with my pathetic 500 odd!

Mr Jared. We both appear to have slipped off the scale. Alas. I'm currently 19th. You?

Information Overload

These last few months have been pretty exciting at work. The web site I am responsible for is undergoing a redesign, due to launch Wednesday, and I have been adding fun technological toys to a couple of the other sites I run. Google has launched a plethora of new web apps, and I have been playing with various Linux distros. The corporate IT department adopted Google Apps, so my departure from Microsoft is nearly complete. Lots of things happening in a short amount of time.

As I have been adopti… Continue

Father's Day recap

Work has been pretty crazy lately, so I am behind on some stuff I wanted to blog about. In this case, Father's Day was over a week ago.

As I mentioned in my earlier post on Father's Day, this year marked my fourth as a father. My oldest is 3, and the baby is almost 8 months old. Both of my boys are happy and healthy, and my wife and I feel blessed to have them. They both have their moments, though.

Benjamin is recently potty-trained, which we are pretty stoked about. His vocabulary is ever gro… Continue

A Different View of History

I picked up a copy of the Reagan Diaries at Costco the other day. Reagan is on my list of the greatest U.S. Presidents, so I always enjoy learning more about him. Being able to read about his presidency through his own words has been a great experience.

The last couple of years have been full of insider history. Working at a law school, I have been able to listen to a number of Supreme Court Justices that have visited our campus. So far I have been able to listen to Justices Alito, Thomas, and… Continue

Father's Day

This year marks my fourth Father's Day as a father. It's hard to believe. I have been thinking about the concept of Father's Day lately. I think it is a good thing to honor our parents. They do a lot for us, and this is a way to give a tiny bit back to them. Being on the receiving end of this day is still pretty new though. Not that I mind getting presents from my boys, because I do. I just feel weird still.

Father's Day has always been about my dad, and my grandpas. When Father's Day comes aro… Continue

Technologist Public Servant

Without being condescending in the least, I am amazed at how many people are not technologically savvy. While I recognize the vast array of devices and configurations out there, technology has come a long way in terms of user-friendliness. My colleagues and I have embraced technology in most aspects of our lives. What happened yesterday was a good reminder of how all the non-geeks get by. I hope to continue to improve my customer service, especially in light of this story.

My wife and i were at… Continue
