I finally found the first watch band I’ve ever been excited about in my entire life and I just wanted to share it. It’s the Ballistic Nylon Strap (24mm, 5-Ring, Black). The reason this is so exciting for me is that when you attach your watch to it, you end up with a non-standard watch band [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged (I blame Twitter), and I had an interesting week, this last, so I figured I’d blog about it. Probably should be a bunch of individual posts, but blef and here goes…. Yesterday was an awesome end to an otherwise already pretty good week. I got to play Tetrinet [...]

I don’t know how many people are aware of this bold move VMware made recently, but I think it’s pretty amazing. Just last week, VMware made its hypervisor free!! VMware ESXi Hypervisor Now Free With Customers Deriving Value from More Than 20 Products in the VMware Portfolio, Company Makes #1 Hypervisor Free PALO ALTO, Calif., [...]

This place is SO amazingly, refreshingly, awesomely, mind-bogglingly, ground-breakingly (yes, that’s a new word), life-changingly (write that one down), career rejuvenatingly, totally, totally cool. I am seeing the world through new eyes, truly. I am in awe. I am absolutely having the time of my life. Maybe some of it is due to the “having [...]

Today was my last day with my (before today) current employer. It has been a really, really, really bizarre and surreal day. 2 weeks for that matter. I caught myself several times shocked that I wasn’t more overwhelmed by the huge transition that we’re now embarking on again. And I think the fact that I [...]

Antonio B, David, Alex, Robert, Antonio D, Jim, Surendra, Mark, and Regis: I had a great time with you guys.  Thanks so much for your time!  I had an awesome day.  Here’s hoping we’ll be seeing more of each other!  =;)

Here’s hoping…. I really do look good in red and white, guys!! =:)

I have had the pleasure(?) of living through the following: Getting two problems (ABS light and Airbag light were both stuck on) with our new-to-us 2005 Town & Country fixed only to find another problem (2 radiator fans refused to turn off when car was turned off). Had to disconnect battery overnight to turn off [...]

My current employer uses Exhange 2003 as its current groupware solution. I have on-and-off-again been beating my head against the proverbial concrete wall in trying to get it to work nicely with LDAP and addressbooks other than Evolution or Outlook, for obvious reasons. Today, my geeky noggin’ has broken through the proverbial concrete wall and [...]

I had thought that this would be a straight-forward mission, but it was not. While the front-end tools look and feel very much the same between CVS and Subversion, the back ends are VERY different. Honestly, I much-prefer the CVS approach (all flat-files, predictably placed in $CVSROOT), but since that’s probably part of the problem [...]

metamorphosis (met-uh-mawr-fuh-sis) : A change in an animal as it grows, particularly a radical change, such as the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. The last few weeks of my life have been very… interesting… to say the least. To be more precise, they have been very disruptive, frustrating, stressful, maddening, confusing, difficult, sleep-depriving, [...]

I found this blog entry from Dave Neary the other day and share his sentiments. Namely, I’m not particularly enamored with what I do for a living (Retail Pharmacy–it’s not painful to the point of death, but it’s not something that I’m passionate about, to be sure), and would absolutely LOVE to work with a [...]

To borrow from the uber-classic Office Space…. =:) It was a pretty good day at work today. And it’s rather rare that I come home thinking that. Aw, come on–don’t look at me like that. You can’t possibly come home every day thinking “man, what a fantastic, wonderful, groovily delicious day it was at work [...]

So not much has changed employment-wise in the last year+ that has gone by. =:\ I think that’s a good thing. I’m still working for Rite Aid. For the last year or so, I’ve taken on the lead-developer role for Rite Aid in their Internet/Intranet environment. I’ve had some really great opportunities in that role. [...]

Work, work, work…. I am currently employed by the Rite Aid Corporation (yes, the drug-store chain) as a Systems Engineer, as you can see by my resume. I don’t really feel like just duplicating the information on my resume here, so I’ll let you look at my resume and you can see all the glorious [...]
