On my way into work I thought about how better to allocate my time so I can fit in time to relax. (sad, I know) I ended up thinking I could save some time at night by blogging on my way home on the train…so here I go. The last few days have been challenging. […]
Well, as 2005 is my first year as a small business owner, I am learning something new everyday. On Monday, I learned the importance of having a really good accountant, as he called me and gave me a heads up on the fact that my 2005 taxes were due today. Thankfully he prepared an extension […]
Bork bork bork. 😉 I am so thankful that it is still 30 degrees outside with the possibility of snow. Why? I do not feel bad about working 14 hours a day! I have to say…even after working a full day down in the city, I look forward to coming home and working on Ookles. […]
I just got done reading an excellent article “How to be an expert” that hit home. How many times did I try to learn CSS, then get frustrated and go back to tables? More than a few times for sure! The take home lesson of course is that hard work and dedication do pay off […]
Amy and I have been involved in Greyhounds Only for a few years now and we recently went to a fostering seminar with hopes of fostering new or returned greyhounds. I picked up Ava this afternoon from a pretty sketchy home. Her nails were extremely long and her ears were fithly, but she cuddled with […]
There are some days when you think you have seen it all…and today was one of them. By working in a big city I am exposed to a lot of weird stuff all the time. This morning, I saw something I never expected…a homeless man with all his belongings on a golf push cart. The […]

Fewer tables: cleaner code, easier to maintain code (throw away those WYSIWYG editors), faster loading code, and personally is very satidfying after years of cluttered and extraneous code from GoLive. I spent a good chunk of time today getting rid of hundres […]
This email to one of my Mac OS X Admin lists sums up my day: “This is M… F… from Germany. I am intersted in the searchmachine Lucene” What? Exactly.
Thank goodness I went to Penn State and met an amazing accounting student, now accountant, Amy Wessner. Running your own business so you can work on cool projects with interesting clients is one thing, but managing finances, marketing, managing off site servers and clients at all hours is another. Thankfully, I happen to know Amy! […]
I listen to music all day long. I think it helps me work and stay focused and excited on my projects. I cannot speak highly enough about the DJ GT vs. Project C mixes from Generation Trance. If you like dance/electronica/trance music at all make sure you check out a few of the DJ GT […]
I have been struggling over the idea of buying a new MacBook Pro (still not natural to say or hear) since they came out. I am not generally keen on buying a first generation anything from Apple…but then again, waiting for the next rev. might make me wait for a year. I will be using […]
