Its 6:30am on moving day. The quiet before the storm. I am excited, but the funny thing on my mind is Keyboards, Laptops and Televisions. Keyboards. My co-workers say that I type too loud. I “attack” the keyboard. I think it is just the Microsoft Natural Pro keyboard I am…

The Hotbrick 401W with the new firmware (June 2005) does not save passwords properly with passwords ending in a number. (i.e. glen123) I am a good QA engineer! Review of the firewall: (Besides the bug) The thing gets HOT. Almost to the point of burning me. They don’t call it…

Last night, God spoke to me. God said, “Glen?” I said, “Yeah?.” God said, “You know, the Jets are going to win the superbowl this year. I know I mentioned that last year, but I forgot about Pennington’s rotator cuff. I had a sticky note on my fridge to remind…

I was thinking about the ‘Life is a’…question today. How is this one? It is for people with kids 2-3 years old. Life is a contradiction. No it’s not. I imagine Jared would agree. I pinned up pictures in my new cubicle today of the kids. I think I need…

Today is the first day at the new office. I am currently waiting for Steve from work to pick me up. I am typing on my laptop outside of the Ashby Bart station. Can you see me in the satellite photo? How cool is technology? I think this is just…

Today is the last day I am going to work in San Francisco. The company is moving to San Mateo. It is exciting. We are moving houses next week too. The future smells like a bakery at 7am. Sweet and full of promise. The deli across the street gave me…

Sometimes, I just sit and listen to Ethan and Jared talk to each other. I wish I had a recorder at those moments. Here is a sampling: Jared: Eeftan! Here is your gun! Ethan: I can’t reach it! Jared: (stretching, with feeling) Heeeerrre! Ethan: Got it! Thanks Jared! Jared: You’re…

We picked a place! Check it out. Katie did an awesome job of negotiating and being decisive and making it happen. Three cheers for Katie! Hip Hip…HooRay! Hip Hip…HooRay! Hip Hip…HooRay! It is a beautiful home on Hickory Lane. Cul-De-Sac street (French for ‘Cut the scrotum’). At the end of…

Joe Biden took one more step towards running for president. (See article) I really like Biden as a candidate. He has gravitas. His resume is good. He commands a solid presence. I just hope he runs a better campaign than Gore/Kerry. I like Hillary Clinton, but I think she may…

Feeling the squeeze. Need to find a good house. I’d like it to be in Menlo Park / Palo Alto, but we can’t live in the car either. The last 10 years have been a roller coaster. We have moved 6 times in 10 years. Katie has had enough I…

We applied for two houses in Palo Alto/Menlo Park this weekend. Hopefully, we will get one of them. We have been experimenting with a setup for navigation and finding the houses. Here is the setup: 1. Latitude D610 Dell Laptop. 2. Pharos USB GPS Receiver 3. Microsoft Streets and Trips…

I visited Ethan’s swim class yesterday. He can hold his breathe a long time! He swims, he backfloats. He has witty rejoinders. I felt such pride. My boy. I am excited for Jared to swim too, but first he must potty train. I am excited for Matthew to learn to…

http://www.commadot.com should now work. Kokopelli Internet Consultants INC will not be going public, but rather be closing down completely and retiring it’s debt this year. The monkey will be completely off our back. It actually is a thrilling feeling. Being debt free is one of our dreams. It’s a fresh…

Started reading a book on Phi. (What is Phi?) Phi is cool, but makes my brain hurt sometimes. I love the idea that many cultural aspects of our lives started out as glorified math clubs. Math is cool. Stay in School, fool. Yeah! Anyway, after this, I have a biography…
