I was cleaning my office this evening and I came across this. I chuckled because I can’t imagine using this thing anymore. I purchased it for my first digital camera back in 2001 and it was the bees knees, then. Now, I’ve got a handful of disposable USB drives between 2 and 8 GB. I’ve …

2013 ITE/ASHE Winter Workshop
Last weekend I attended the Institute of Transportation Engineers/America Society of Highway Engineers Joint Winter Workshop in Athens, GA. The purpose of this workshop is the get more “into the weeds” with the things we do on a daily basis and have some practice at doing it. This is the third year for this program …
Definitely a Boy
Jenn had her 20 week (actually 18.7 week) ultrasound today. In it we found out that our baby is definitely a boy. The doctor remarked that he was “really showing off”. You’ll pardon me if I don’t post any images of pre-natal schlong, but here is our latest baby pic.
Speaking of Baby
As of a few weeks ago we knew that the baby was most probably a boy. Apparently there is a test during the first trimester where they measure the angle of the doohickey to the thingamabob with ultrasound and can declare with 85% confidence that it’s a boy. So, here is our son, comfortably ensconced …
On Lumbar Disc Disease
My friends and family know that I had the experience of lumbar spinal surgery at a very young age. When I was 17, I was diagnosed with three bulging discs in my lower spine which were impinging on my spinal cord. For those of you new to this topic, that means that the gelatinous bits …
On Backups and Copernicus
Today’s Google Doodle was in honor of Nicolaus Copernicus’ 540th birthday. Because I don’t know much about the history of Copernicus or his seminal work which defined the theory of heliocentrism, I popped over to Wikipedia to browse the article. I learned many things but the most critical was that pre-information-age authors had balls the …
Roller Derby
Last night we saw the Atlanta Rumble-B’s take it to the Fort Meyer Derby Girls. They beat them handily with some aggressive physical play, although there were a few 15 and 20 point power jams by the Derby Girls that had us worried for the home team. If you haven’t been, you really should go …
Google Maps Mystery
Today I chased myself down a rabbit hole and haven’t emerged yet. Consequently I’m calling for help. I was poking around Google Maps when I noticed a large grey-shaded area near where I live, shown in this screen capture. I have no idea what this is. Let me eliminate some things for you so you’re …
2012 Needs a Sequel
We watched 2012 for the second time recently in order to fill our need for mindless apocalyptic destruction. If you’re not familiar with the movie, I will give you a mid-sized synopsis. Warning: spoilers, but this movie is predictable and it’s been three years since it came out in theaters. 2012 Synopsis: Magical sun-rays are …
Cats, Plates, Clothes
Tonight’s selection is from the last several months of images. I obviously haven’t been keeping up. Here are Artemis and Apollo from yesterday. Earlier in the week we replaced a bunch of fixtures in our master closet. In order to do that clothes had to be temporarily relocated. This makes the best bed for cats, …
