I’ve been waiting to hear back from some folks at my company about the possibility of working remotely from Champaign. I finally heard back today, and it looks like I’ll be sending out resumes after all. The part I’ll miss the most is the four weeks of vacation. Ouch! 😉 Seriously, though. I found a…
Board Game Night
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

Have Projector, Will Travel!
Yoinked from the Creative Generalist… http://www.mobmov.org/ [MobMov is] a grassroots movement aimed at bringing back the forgotten joy of the great American drive-in. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, what used to be a dark and decrepit warehouse wall springs to life with the sublime sights and sounds of a big screen movie. Best…
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…
