I have been blogging in some form or another since 2004.  There never has been any rhyme or reason to my blogging, I often just posted personal updates opinions, rants, or other such ramblings.  If I feel the need to blog about something that isn't sports or tech related, I will post it here.

Introducing Emilia Ruth

The question is do I want to be a typical geek in this announcement. Do I want to say "A new process has spawned." Or, do I want to state "Version 2 has been released". Any of those phrases are kind of cliche when we developer types have a new baby. So, I decided to forgo that and...

Taking responsibility for dismal results

Family star may head Toyota in crisis One thing that struck me about this article was this - "Unlike their Western counterparts, Japanese executives are widely expected to resign to take responsibility for dismal results." It seems that the American CEO's like to blame the "economy"...

Even though he did not have...

Happy Halloween!
My mom of all people passed this on. Gave me a laugh. Happy Halloween to all of you spooks and ghouls.
A blog post!

Earthquake in Cincinnati?

Ikea opens today

So the West Chester Ikea opens today . That's all well and good, but I can't let this go without making fun of the people who camped out overnight in anticipation. What is with these people? It's a freakin' store! I don't care how great the place is - again, it's a store! It's not like you won't be able...
