If you were subscribed to my Twitter feed, you would have known in near real time that today I had one seriously exciting treat. I managed to squeeze my way into a tour group being led by the incredible Jack Garman here at Johnson Space Center. Think I would turn down such a chance? Absolutely [...]

What a wily month. Not only did I have a new baby girl… I quit my job, signed on for a new job, got coaxed back to the old job, started the old job again and completely fell off the wagon with the gym.  Now here it is a month later and I’ve been working [...]

Howdy from Dallas, Texas, where a new chapter of my life could be opening up. I’m not sure why or how, but it could happen. I am nervous but then I am not. If the interviews are all about how I function under pressure, that’s fine I guess. We shall see. Should I keep you [...]

You may or may not know this, but I’ve been in Denver for the past week for a conference for work. The conference has gone well and most of the participants have flown home. Originally I changed my flight because I thought that project management wanted to get together here on Friday to work on [...]

Tonight, I’m trying to use dictation to write my blog post. I’m undecided if I should correct the errors that the dictation makes. I’m using MacSpeech Dictate to write the blog post. So far it’s not that bad. This is part of a test to prove to myself that dictation has advanced enough for me [...]

I had to get rid of Macjournal on my work Mac due to the severe .Mac syncing issues. If you thought syncing with .Mac on a regular basis caused tears on occasion, you haven’t seen anything yet. Try getting Macjournal to sync between two computers and you will learn what it’s like to mistrust a [...]

Today was “officially” day two of the gym and the workout was even tougher this time around. I had a full 4 days away from the gym. 3 of them were from the family reunion, 1 of them was because a work issue ended up taking over the whole time slot. I got to it [...]

My first REAL day at the gym was a doozy. I did 30 minutes of treadmill, alternating speeds when I could take it and warming down too. I got the heart rate up to 145, which is right where Southern-belle Megan wanted me to be. It felt pretty good. Really, it did. Then I got [...]

So I had the gym assessment today. This assessment is required before this wellness center thing will let you participate in their program. I’ve visited the vampires and run the physical tests they wanted, now here I sat with this lovely young lady fresh from Tuscaloosa. She pulled her jacket close and complained that someone [...]

I’ve been pretty busy the past month, you could say. I’ve actually been pulling back on the overtime at the day job to concentrate a little bit on getting some of these podcasts out the door. The end result is the first three episodes of NO CARRIER which, despite being quite dry, aren’t half bad [...]
