Serenity Now!

people pet peeves.

Wow. While I find it interesting dealing with a diverse group of people, I also find it interesting that some people have no clue to to socially interact with others. My short list of people pet peeves begin here. The person who talks over everyone else. Wow. Sound familiar? I pick up the phone to […]

Relaxation, Finally!

After a long few months of long days and long nights filled with work, I finally took some time to just relax tonight (and get some SoCom 3 in). Earlier this morning (530am) I had finished up a big project Ken (happy birthday Ken!) and I were working on for a few weeks. Next on […]

2006 Orange Bowl

The 2006 Orange Bowl was something to see. When I found out we (Penn State) were going to play Florida State, I was a bit upset that we were playing a low ranked team (PSU was #3 and FSU was #22). I thought the game would be a complete blowout, but as we all saw…it […]

Birthday Excitement

Well, if being obsessed with Dark Shadows: The Revival was not enough, now my father-not-in-law-under-W bought me DVD collection 1 and 2 of the original Dark Shadows. I have 80 episodes in total in the first 2 collections. There are twenty-three collections in all…who needs cable? I am excited to compare the 2 series. When […]

2005 in Review From My Perspective

2005 was the “year of the elite” for me. 😉 I had several eye opening and exciting experiences, but also learned some disheartening life lessons as well. Both build character. 2005 Technical Things to Note: I delivered six new web sites (2 with over 1,000 members) (3 used Content Management Systems) this year I brought […]

How I Spend My Days Off

I decided to take today and tomorrow off from my 9-5 job today. Why? To relax? No. To finish up the painting that still needs to be done? No…hmm, I almost forgot about that. SoCom 3? Nope. I woke up at 730am, and have been working ever since. I took a few minutes to eat […]

Big Weekend

Well well..this past weekend was another busy, but exciting weekend with lots of little surprises. The weekend started out by some good times at a local brewery that served the best pork I have ever had, hands down. Saturday was filled with a lot of work and a reminder why I do not live in […]

Serenity Now!

fun with technology.

Well well. I finally have a decent spell check option and it is thanks to the Google Toolbar. I can spellcheck anything in my browser window with a click of the button. I am not known for my spelling skills, so hopefully this will help me. On another fun note…I was getting a Coke on […]

Busy Weekend

Well, this weekend was very jam packed. I started off the weekend by taking A to her first Brazilian steakhouse. Good thing she brought an appetite because you definitely need one at those places! On Saturday I had some co-workers and their dogs over for a dog get together. Triscuit did pretty well with strange […]
