Psalm 8:2
Today I got out with my partner in crime and we drove around a bit. A few people told us that we could find some nice views at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Ok, I’m down with that. So we headed over there and got some nice snapshots. You can view them by clicking the …
Today was Thursday (at least at the time of me writing this). Apparently in my office, Thursday is also milkshake day because the ice cream shop nearby has half off milkshakes. Ok… I’m game. And hey, it’s only right over there across the street. We can walk! Alrighty then. So today I bundled up for …
Today I actually started working in some of the application code for the new company (Rogers Software Development). Woohoo! Of course it always takes a little while to learn the software architecture and engineering climate of a new group and they started me out with some fairly easy tasks that I can start learning on. …
I worked New Year’s Eve, though it wasn’t entirely productive. I was using a really old temporary machine until they could supply me with something workable.

I have formally accepted a position with Rogers Software Development, Inc. based in Fairbanks, Alaska. It is a work from home position doing computer and/or web programming… pretty much what I usually do. The interesting thing here though is that I am required to be on location in Fairbanks, AK for one month to complete …
I just posted on my main (technical) blog about a giveaway that DevDad (Stay At Home Dad, Geek Style) is holding. It’s the Stay At Home Dad iMac Give-Away. Here’s a picture of the beauty below. The interesting bit is that he has partnered with SitterCity to be able to provide this nice prize. Who …
Since I’ve been making the daily trek to Fort Walton I have taken up the task of tracking my gas mileage. I’m not sure why, I guess it’s just something to do besides complain about how much gas I’m using. I had to fill up yet again this morning and so entered the pertinent data …
