Well, I finally managed to take some time and do some extra programming on my own time. The fruits of my labor can be found here. I wanted to put the Google app engine through its paces and so I played around with creating a form similar to the one that Ben Franklin used to [...]
I read a blog called “The Art of Manliness”. It’s a site about being an old-fashioned guy. Being a gentleman, dressing well, grooming, etc. One of the things that they talked about a while back was shaving. The guy was extolling the virtues of the safety razor. At the time, it sounded interesting but it [...]
There’s only 1 ad. I laugh uncontrollably every time I see it.
This blog is three-fold. First, to let everyone know that Jess and I are back and are settled back into a regular routine after the wedding. We were so happy with how the wedding turned out and were happy that we had the people there to share it with. We have gotten our wedding pictures [...]
I am just *SOOO* tempted to tell a story that happened at work the other day. For those that are in the computing field, they’d find it pretty darn funny. It’s not personal. It isn’t an attack on any one person and their skills. It’s a funny anecdote wrapped in a demonstration of extreme hypocrisy. However, [...]
Well, funny how life changes…
My brother gave a fantastic speech as my best man at my wedding. In it, he mentions that they found a list of plans that I had made for my future back when I was 18, which included college, grad school, PhD, get a job, buy a house, then [...]

A while back, my brother on his blog wrote the following about my blog about the future of search:
http://sentientsearch.net/2008/05/05/oh-dear/
Well…some of the points he mentions are good and I happen to agree with the spirit of them. However, it’s always good to know when, as far as how search will progress and what the next step [...]
Well, Jess woke me up Monday morning with the sad news–George Carlin died. I remembered the first time I saw him perform on HBO. It was the Jammin in New York concert. He was incredible. His political commentary was edgy, his situational humor was great, and he spoke with rhythm and energy and used the [...]
Hey. I’m back. Did I miss anything?
Now that I am solidly in place at my new job, I feel I can take the opportunity to burn some bridges and take some loving (or not-so-loving) swipes at our good friends at Microsoft. For those of you who don’t know, I had an interview with [...]
