This last year has been a tough one on many different levels. I don’t even know where to start. The loss of life we’ve experienced in this country and globally is at a level most of us have never seen, and hopefully will never see again. It’s difficult to even comprehend the scale of it. This post is… Read More »
For the last couple of years, I’ve been dabbling with a few side/hobby projects. Several of these have been in the form of a Single Page App (SPA). There is a lot of appeal to that with the modern web. The question always comes up, though, which framework should I use to create my new app? There are… Read More »
I didn’t really want a new phone but my HTC One M9 was starting to really irritate me. Specifically the battery and power usage. It got to the point where I was having to charge it at least 3 times a day or I would run out of power. I was able to watch the battery tick down… Read More »
I’ve been chewing on this since the latest Android update hit Jessica and my phones, and I posted about it here. Basically, software design has gotten crazy over the last few years. With technology going mainstream, and most people carrying computers in their pockets in the form of a smartphone, software design is much less of an art… Read More »
The silence for the last few months has been because my life got crazy. I’ve been spending a lot of time working and what hasn’t been working has been spent in preparation for our new baby. Yes, thats right, baby. In 2006 we were told by a fertility doctor that we would likely never have kids. We didn’t… Read More »
Well, the last two years have been…..Interesting. This is just a quick update to give the site a recent post and start to get back into the whole blogging thing again. Things have been extremely hectic for the last two years. Some good things have happened, some bad, but mostly just busy. I haven’t wanted to spend much… Read More »
From Wikipedia on Frivolous litigation there is a great quote from Lawyer Danial B. Evans: [W]hen a judge calls an argument “ridiculous” or “frivolous,” it is absolutely the worst thing the judge could say. It means that the person arguing the position has absolutely no idea of what he is doing, and has completely wasted everyone’s time. It… Read More »
So its that time of year again. The air is crisp, the days are much shorter, and the grass in the back yard is covered in leaves from the neighbor’s trees. Tonight shivering street urchins will be knocking at the door in a variety of costumes begging for candy. My candy. Not yours. Can’t have. Okay, fine, you… Read More »
After Jessica saw what I had posted today, we had the following IM conversation: [11:55:49 AM] <Truffle> there’s a gnome in the first set of pics [11:56:05 AM] <gottafixthat> LOL. Of course there is. [11:56:12 AM] <Truffle> gack! [11:56:18 AM] <gottafixthat> [11:56:20 AM] <Truffle> oh, and I’m mad at you [11:56:24 AM] <gottafixthat> Why? [11:56:33 AM] <Truffle> you… Read More »
Its that time of year again! No, not that time, its Halloween! That of course means pumpkin carving. After last year’s marathon session on October 30th, we decided to get an earlier start this year. Got them on last weekend’s shopping trip and planned our Sunday around carving the unsuspecting cucurbita pepos. We must be getting better at… Read More »
