Our CEO came in today and wanted to see me in his office. Now, this doesn’t happen all that often, so I was a little surprised. But, it was good news! Since I’ve been at Music Intelligence Solutions, I’ve been referred to as everything from “Lead Engineer”, to “Lead Technical Architect” to, in rare cases, […]
My pal Murray Wilson does great things – he and AWOL take kids the system doesn’t want and teaches them to take apart, clean and refurbish computers the system doesn’t want – computers that would otherwise go to the landfill. They then put linux on them and put them out into the community with families […]
I was introduced to Kanban by Brad Taylor from Rails Machine when we were talking about agile and how to do it in an ops environment where there’s a lot of reacting that’s hard to plan for. Since I come from the product dev world, where releases are easier to plan, Scrum works pretty well. […]
This morning, as a congratulations, Andrew (our awesome designer at work) sent me the following image: Because I have a headache and was in the mood to cause trouble, I opened Pixelmator and created the following abomination, which I sent back.

I got up really early this morning to go take pictures of the sunrise. It’s something I’ve been thinking about doing pretty much since we moved here. Since I don’t have anywhere I need to be today or much I have to do, I decided that today was the day. It was totally worth it.\ […]

Jen didn’t start blogging here until about 2005, so out of that, almost 2,000 of them are mine. I don’t think I’ve stuck […]
While we were up in DC for Steve’s wedding, TEDx Creative Coast happened down here in Savannah. I’ve had several conversations with folks about how high energy it was and how excited everyone was about the event, and that there has to be some way to keep that energy going. I got to thinking about […]
When I get home from work, I’m usually pretty tired (OK, most nights, I’m really tired). So, I don’t do much other than: Sometimes make dinner. Usually Jen makes it or we order out, but I do cook on occasion. Play video games with the kids Watch TV Screw around on my ubuntu laptop, but […]
My friend Brad invited us to his awesome Derby Day party – and we had a great time. The boys got to play with his 10 week old puppy, Rocky. As you can see, they loved every minute of it. And here are the rest of the pics of the boys being boys. Enjoy!
