If you know me at all… You know I LOVE to cook! A friend clued me into a recipe published in Women’s World Magazine by Nutritionist, Dr. Ann Louise Gittleman. Her “Fat Flush Soup” has been extremely popular since it was first published back in 2011. Me, being me of course, had to make it […]

I loved my Amiga!  I’m also not talking about the pretty girl I had a crush on in High School.  No, like some weird Cyberpunk Indie “B” flick, I’m talking about my first computer. So, I won’t lie.  Why a Commodore?  I remember walking past a long gone store chain (Software Etc.) and seeing some […]

I’ve always been positively fascinated with technology and how it continuously becomes smaller, faster, and more creative. Take this little gem. It’s been a hobbyist’s joy within tech circles for years. The Pi is a playing card sized full fledged computer that has the capability to run almost any modern operating system you want. It’s […]

It’s with very sad regret that I woke up this morning receiving the news that Mike Long passed away this weekend.

I’m a big fan of the open source movement, and utilize it extensively in […]

I’ve spent the last 10 years, 3 weeks, and 3 days wondering just what my prodigy would aspire to pursue. For back story, it’s worth noting that Sebastian has tried everything from Soccer, to Karate, to Cub Scouts (which I still wish he’d pursue), to now.. Baseball! Sebastian’s Mom and I have always shared the […]

..The question I got from my son when he was wondering what they did at Medieval Times. I started trying to explain it to him and instead had a wonderful epiphany. I said.. “I have a GREAT way to show you!” Since I was a kid I’d gone with friends to the Renaissance Faire in […]

It’s always great to do a good job! Gives you a sense of well doing when you finally lay down at night! It’s even better when one of the teams you support heavily says “Come on over!! We want to make lunch for you!”. Mark, the VP of Managed Services personally manned the grills outside […]

What do you get when you get thousands and thousands and thousands of people coming out on a very unbecoming
