As you’ve probably noticed, I’ve been on vacation and stayed away from computers. In fact, I didn’t even check my e-mail until last night. It’s been pretty nice. I hope you too unplugged and got away for a bit.
But it’s a little after 6 a.m. on Christmas morning and I’m up early to finish up [...]

A long December …
One of the things I’ll remember fondly about 2006 was that I reconnected – albeit mainly via the web – with a group of friends from my hometown. Old friends that I hadn’t talked to, much less seen, in ten years.

Yeah! Thursday! Yeah!
So, I’m officially moved up to my digs.
And score! I got a new flat top monitor for my new office. It’s bigger than my last monitor in screen size too. Whoever said size doesn’t matter … well, let’s just say they were not talking about computer monitors.
Interesting trivia about my new office. It was [...]

Moving
Morning everybody …
Here at work early this morning because we are moving offices. I’ll be moving from a lovely three-sided cubicle (ugh) in a small room shared by a few people to a old laboratory space converted into an office. My new office will be a small cubby room, but it will be just [...]

Totally Disturbing
I get a daily e-mail update from the New York Times every morning and there was an article on Perverted Justice and the Dateline NBC shows “To Catch a Predator”.
