Things about my life.
Kate and I were elated to hear on the news just after 11pm, that Barack Obama would be our next president. and also that Virginia had gone for Obama. We are thrilled. We’re waiting to hear from our new president-elect now before heading off to bed.
Kate and I celebrated out 13th anniversary today. As is out tradition, we didn’t do all that much other than enjoy being together. She and Mira came and met me for lunch today, and all four of us went out for dinner. After the kids were in bed, we had a nice evening together watching [...]
Kate and I got new cell phones today. We’ve needed to get new ones for a while. We got the phones we’ve had up to now back in April of 2004. They were old and only just worked properly anymore (mine did anyway, Kate’s was actually almost completely broken). I got myself a Palm Centro [...]
I found out today that I’ve been promoted (or as I explained it to Xander, I leveled up). I’m now a Principle Software Engineer. It’s something I’ve been working for for a long time and it feels great to finally have all the hard work validated.
I turned 35 years old yesterday. I had a great day. I got to sleep in late. Then I came downstairs and the kids were super excited that it was my birthday. We opened presents and I got to enjoy all the stuff that they and others had picked out for me. Then I got [...]
I’ve still got a job. We had big layoffs today at work, but I made it through ok. It was a rough day though, lots of good people were let go. It’ll be rough for a while, getting used to things without them. I’m trying to be happy for myself, but it’s hard to see [...]
It’s officially Summer now! I hope everyone has a great season.

My cube really hasn’t been so bad so far. The biggest thing I was worried about was the noise and, so far at least, it hasn’t been a big problem. There is a little more noise than when I was in my office, but I’m wearing headphones to listen to my music, so I really [...]
No, really. Over the last few years, I’ve had periodic bouts where I would have very serious headaches, light hurt my eyes, I’d be nauseous. They’d usually show up around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. I’d make it home from work and spend the rest of the day on the couch or in the [...]
I received a title change at work this week. I’m now officially a Senior Software Engineer, which I’m quite happy about. It has been a more accurate description of my job for awhile now, and it’s nice to have my title reflect it.
Xander’s Birthday is today. We’ve got a soccer party planned for the afternoon, I’ll talk about that tonight or tomorrow. I just wanted to take a quick moment to reflect on the day. It’s amazing how fast 7 years go by. I’m a very involved Dad, I think most people would agree. Even with that [...]

I’ve gotten a Wii now! Kate went out this morning to Target and waited in line while I watched the kids and picked one up for me. She did it instead of me so she could use out 10% off card at Target. It’s currently sitting downloading the system update. I’m looking forward to getting [...]
