I was at the Janke Studios a few weeks ago for an iron pour. The photo set is here.

Frustrated all the way to the Bank
I realize this is a good problem to have, but I am singularly incapable of figuring out how much tax to pay every year in order to have a $0 balance between state and federal income tax when I file. Every single year since 2008 we’ve owed taxes and each time I’ve sat down and …
New Leaf Blower!
I bought a new tool today; I’m very happy with it. This is what it looks like after the first two hours of use in a pollen-rich environment. With my back issues ongoing, I’m not in shape to do any significant raking, so I splurged for the most powerful leaf blower that The Home Depot …
Play Ball!
Jenn and I attended the 2013 Braves home opener last Monday. The Braves beat the Phillies 7 to 5 with three home runs. It was a fun game to watch. I took some pics. Here’s a selection. More can be found at my flickr account. The groundskeeper spent a good 20 minutes crafting the lines …
More Baby Year Minus Zero Pictures
I’m desperately looking forward to the time when, during the first year of life of our child, I’m asked how old he is and I get to answer, “Zero.” That will make my day. In anticipation of that wondrous experience, here are some more pictures of Jenn. She’s at 23 weeks in this picture. Contrast …
Teaching Dependent vs. Independent Graphing
When I was learning about dependent and independent variables in experimentation, I had the hardest time remember which was which. To this day I have to take a moment to make sure I’m describing or graphing something correctly. At the age of 39, and as a practicing engineer, I still have a bit of trouble …

Cobb/Acworth/Woodstock is Saved!
I’m happy to report that the Google maps mystery from a little while back has been resolved. The army is no longer going to build the new Atlanta Airport right on top of thousands of homeowners. What am I talking about? Compare today’s Google maps snapshot with last month’s. Everybody is saved.
Ticketmaster does Dunwoody!
I received a speeding citation ((I-285. I regard this as the cost of driving in Atlanta. Eventually they’d pick me out of the crowd doing 70-75 MPH. There were a bunch of Dunwoody cops and it was Saturday night of St. Patrick’s Day weekend. I think they were doing sobriety pull-overs.)) last weekend. I paid …
Writing and Cats
It’s been something like nine days since my last update. I’m honestly too lazy to go check the date on the last posting. It is amazing how quickly the time can fly when you’re not paying attention, busy with other things, having fun with people, or just plain tired from work. I have a couple …
