I forgot to report about Board Game Night a couple of weeks ago. We had eight people over to play some casual, fun games. Here’s a run down… We started out with Apples to Apples, a game I bought for Jen and Danny. Stephanie and Carla had played before so they explained the rules. It’s…
Best Band Name EVAR!!!
On the way home from Champaign-Urbana (from here on out referred to as Shampoo-Banana) tonight, I had a revelation. It’s an amazing band name. It could be used for just about any genre of music. 😉 Dick Tater and the Banana Republic Now what’s your ultimate band name? –sam
Li’l Brown Boy, RIP… and Nautalist is moving
I have a personal website that I rarely update. Heck, I use LJ more often than I update my personal site. Because of this… and because the name lilbrownboy.com just isn’t who I am anymore, I’m ditching it. Well sorta… I do host a cool character sheet generator used by a lot of different people…

Sent off my first resume…
I sent off my first resume today for a job in Champaign. It’s for a position at Wolfram Research. They make a software product called Mathematica which is mostly used by scientists. The odd thing about Wolfram is that they don’t necessarily advertise specific openings. You fill out a web form and answer some very…
Google Pages…
OK. I have to admit I was ready not to like Google Pages. Every other web-based page editor I have used sucked ass and the output was generally bad HTML. Oh… and none of them used CSS… EVER. Basically, the state of web-based HTML editors was crap. That is until Google Pages. That’s one spicy…
So I told my boss…
I told my boss today about the potential move to Champaign-Urbana, IL. She was shocked at first, but her second reaction was… “I’ll talk to [her boss] and see if we can’t find something for you there. Maybe you can work from home or something.” Now isn’t that exactly what you would want to here…
