Yesterday, I left the house for work at noon, with Sam sick, and Eddy in the midst of a full-blown tantrum — the type of tantrum only a three year-old can possibly throw: ridiculous subject matter (“no, I don’t want peaches with my lunch!”) and the kind of focus a sniper would envy. As I … Read more
This weekend was supposed to see some progress on both my major projects. One, I got some work done, the other stalled for reasons beyond my control. ANT+ Farm isn’t where I’d like it to be. I found some great sample code and spent the evening trying to get the Arduino linked-up to the ANT+ … Read more
TV: blah blah blah Jacob Wetterling 25 years blah blah blah Me: Dude, also 25th anniversary of SimCity! Can we get a little positivity around here? Kate: Maybe that’s where he went?
Five years ago today, I met my wife. It was a Match.com date, and we’d been going back and forth via email for about two months. I was in “date around” mode, and wasn’t thinking anything in the way of serious. And then there was that moment, sitting in a booth at the Herkimer where … Read more

Happy Valentine’s Day to my wife, Kate, who is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. She’s off at her second job now, teaching young’ns how to swim. We’re celebrating tomorrow night — dinner, movie, and low-key. We’re saving money for a house, after all.
Seriously, my life is pretty dang good right now. I have a wonderful fianceé that I’m wildly in love with, and in 24 days, we’re tying the knot. I’m very excited about this. I’m excited about the new family I’m going to be a part of, excited that Kate will be part of my family, … Read more
Hell yeah, what a day. What a weekend, really. Been rocking the bike stuff hard. Friday night started with Minnecycle 2010. Showed up and had an awesome time. Hung out with Paul and Vincent, met Curt Goodrich and had a good chat with him after a bit of a go-’round on a mailing list. Took … Read more
Last night was a busy night on the wedding prep front. My first stop was mom’s place where I picked up a whole slew of childhood pics of me. Second stop was at my dad and stepmom’s place, for the same reason. I got a pretty solid stack of photos, and tonight I’ll have to … Read more
Crazy times. Things have never been more chaotic in our household — TempCat™ coming and going, social and wedding planning schedules that are utterly insane, financial planning, honeymoon planning, plus both our jobs, my framebuilding thing, and all that jazz. You’d think that this would be the causation of some pretty interesting arguments. In reality, … Read more
