Numbers
Monday, May 22 was my birthday. I am 34. I used to be 33. 33 gets rounded down to 30 and is almost like being in your 20’s. 34 gets rounded up to 35. 35 is nothing like being in your 20’s. This is the first time I have felt…

Basketball
Ever since Shaq entered the league, I have hated basketball. It was all bump, bump, slam. The post was the worst play in the world. It was boring. What happened to the no-look pass? What happened to the 3-point shot? What happened to faked him out of his shoes that…

Ethan the entrepreneur
Yesterday, we had a great Mother’s Day. In the morning, we went over to Burlingame (a very nice community that we hope to live in one day). Ethan was petting someone’s dog and said that he could make the dog sit. The owner said, “Ok, give it a try, but…

Calling all Word-Smiths
I volunteered with some people at work to help a non-profit. They provide technology and communications specialists to emergency areas. So if an earthquake hit San Francisco to help drive the prices of homes down, then they would swoop in and set up wireless networks so people could communicate. They…

Work Update and Peeing
Work has been really frenetic. So many different projects and so much to do. I got approval to hire and manage a web developer to free up some of my time to work more on Information Architecture and UI Design. The guy we hired was offered alot of money from…

NFL Draft part Duex
When the draft was over, I was thinking about the hundreds of guys who didn’t get picked. On this one single day, they go from their old lives as collegiate superstars to the potential of being picked for the NFL (which carries with it a hefty salary check) to being…

Da Jets (Draft)
For the second time, since I can remember, I am not unhappy after the NFL Draft. The first time was when the Jets selected Abraham, Ellis and Pennington. All good additions. This year the Jets selected 10 players. (This is alot for a draft). And I am very happy. If…

Thinking
How much do other people think? For me it is an insatiable activity. Every person I see; I wonder what they do for a living, what makes them tick, what troubles them, what they are thinking. Every building I see; I wonder who built it, who architected it, what choices…

Mambo Kings
Katie and I watched the Mambo Kings last night. I had seen it years ago, but I thought she would love it. Antonio Banderas singing and dancing and speaking spanish. What more could Katie want? Apparently something because she gave it a 3. I thought it was very sad. Made…

The perfect HTML Editor search continues
Still trying out html editors and still not WOWed. Review so far. HTML-KIT – This is the most customizable thing I have ever seen. Literally every single thing is editable. The problem is that the UI is so complicated that it is taking me so long to set it up…

In the News today
Two things on the news today. First, this is the 100 anniversary of the San Francisco earthquake. They keep saying we are going to get another one in our lifetimes. I am hoping for an earthquake to help drive down the price of housing. I don’t want anyone hurt, but…

Big Love
Watching Big Love with Katie. I think polygamy is interesting. Of course, there is the down side of the bickering, but the upside is nice too. You don’t have to worry about “in the mood” issues. More people to clean up is good. The only problem is the money. I…

Google Calendar
Google Calendar went into beta the other day. I think the execution is excellent. Very good all around. I am still struggling with the need for an online calendar. Is this better than a date book? I feel that I need the calendar in a PDA that I carry around.…

Cartoon Voices
I am watching cartoons with the boys. We are watching an old cartoon, I used to watch as a kid called Dungeons and Dragons. I heard Eric the Paladin’s voice and thought it was very familiar. So I looked it up on imdb. Check it out. For kicks I looked…
