It’s BACK!
After a great deal of effort, blog is back… I’ve lost a number of posts, though, as well as my custom WordPress skin. I’ve also lost all of my non-database-stored work, (e.g. post images, whitepapers, etc). I’ll keep you posted as to when I’m back in business. What a pain in the ass.
An Open Letter to a Car Thief
Someone broke into my car… a really ignorant person, who stole things you can’t even pawn.
Introducing Shandy
I’m a sucker. I was driving to work Friday morning, when I stopped to take a left turn at Gillham and Rockhill. A black puppy was romping around a the top of the hill near the park, and as I came to stop, she ran up to, and then beneath, my car. To make sure [...]
An Asymmetrical Evening (and weekend)
Wow… this was a wild, exercise and art-filled weekend. After 18 holes of golf on Saturday morning, I attended the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art‘s An Asymmetrical Evening, which celebrated the opening of the new Bloch Building. It was an evening I won’t forget anytime soon. The new building certainly leaves an impression… I’ve had a stronger appreciation for [...]

Resume is Online
I’ve coded and uploaded a new resume in HTML format. There were some cool features I thought I’d mention: Microformatted I used the hResume microformat, which basically makes it readable by any microformat-parsing utility. Very slick. My microformat plugin for Firefox lit up as soon as I loaded it, telling the who, what, where and when [...]
I think my brain is beginning to hate me…
Books to the ceiling,/ Books to the sky,/ My pile of books is a mile high./ How I love them! How I need them!/ I’ll have a long beard by the time I read them. – Arnold Lobel I’ve been recently inspired to catch up on a lot of my programming fundamentals, digging up old [...]
Creating a Personal Business Card
Now that I’m at the conference, I’m getting asked for my contact information… many times. Cerner wasn’t able to justify printing official business cards, (“Why does a non-client facing engineer, translation: geek, need a business card?”). So… I had to create my own. What do you think?

My First Google Gadget: Color Harmonizer
I decided to jump head-first into Google Gadgetry with a Color Harmonizer. It’s currently an “alpha” release, so… basically it’s a pet project I plan on finishing when I’m not bogged down at work. This also means the code isn’t exactly hardened, so I’m not too worried about someone copying the code! It was really [...]
