Have you ever been in one of those meetings where it seems that everyone in the company is there, even though they don’t need to be? I think everyone has and it is especially frustrating when you are one of the ones that doesn’t really need to be there...
June is just a week away. That’s insane. It’s cliché to say it, but time goes so fast. My son is already four months old, and my daughter is getting hilariouser by the moment. (I know some of you may not consider hilariouser a...
At work, we are having a fundraiser for Diabetes Research Institute. To try to get more sponsors, one of my coworkers decided to turn himself into Mr. T, step by step. He's skinny. He's white. But so far he's raised...
As of sometime yesterday afternoon, my boss' boss has subscribed to my blog. I guess it's time clean things up around here. :)
I've been writing code with curly braces for a dozen years or so, starting with C++ in college, then JavaScript for many, many years, and for the last few years, C#. In all that time, I have been a fan of putting the opening curly brace on the...

Anyone know if there is a way to remove the Windows-Q hotkey from Office Communicator? That is my hotkey of choice for one of my favorite utilities (SlickRun). With Communicator "stealing" this hotkey, I've had to map SlickRun...
Today was my last day as an employee at my current (umm, previous) job. After 18 months full-time, plus a couple months of part-time consulting and advising, I've decided it's time to move on. I still believe the product has enormous...
I'm very excited because in a couple days I will be going with my wife and daughter to Disneyland in California. We are meeting my parents there for Charlie's first Disney experience, and I can't wait to see how excited she will be. ...
Just got a book in the mail from Amazon: Embedded Programming with the Microsoft .NET Micro Framework . It was only about $6 from the "Used and New" section of alternate sellers. An upcoming project at work is currently planned for Compact...
Gerry recently posted an interesting article about the mindsets of software developers and software companies. We had talked about this same topic on the phone for a while a couple days ago. The same phrase that jumped out at me then also...
For two unrelated projects I am looking into server virtualization. Both are for production systems and are not developer or consumer focused. Most of the conversations I've had about VMs so far have been in the context of software development...
