A blog about nothing
Now that we are a few months into the new year I thought I would revisit the New Year’s Resolutions I posted earlier. At this point I’m not real happy with the progress I’ve made, but I’m willing to keep them in mind and continue to work toward these goals. I’m going to get these [...]
I’ve never been a fan of Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal. I have always liked Alien Ant Farm’s cover of it though. It looks like I may have a new favorite cover. These cellists completely rock out. Who knew?

In a previous post, I mentioned I’ve been doing a lot of datagrid work lately. In addition to column sorting another feature I’ve added is the filtering of the datagrid by a specific value in a column.

I ranted about my broadband frustrations in the previous post. An update to the story. Apparently the question to ask is not if I can get service to the home, but how much would it cost to get service to the home. After I talked with Mediacom a couple of more time I found out [...]
I’m a software engineer and one of the few fortunate individuals who gets to work out of their home. We purchased some land a couple of years ago with the intention of building a new home. We are now in the process of building that house. Being a remote employee doing software development, I need [...]
Now that the basement is done for our new house, our builder is getting ready to frame. So Rachel and I spent some time making decisions about the exterior of the house. We had to make decisions on the shingles, front door, and house color. We’ve decided to go with the “Estate Gray” for the [...]
