Well, I’ve had an interesting week. Busy as hell, but not bad. My BOA gig had me trying to break a new software system.. my specialty. I can do that without even trying .. unfortunately. The month of October has started. Halloween stuff is out earlier and earlier each year. I hate seeing Halloween stuff […]

Matt number one is my hero.  You should see his website http://wherethehellismatt.com/. I wish I had the guts to do what he did. I have a fairly secure job and income, the idea of dropping everything and taking off for a while seems VERY appealing, but I don’t think I could do it. Matt number […]

I just read the first few pages of Alan Greenspan’s new book “The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World”. It looks amazing. I’m ordering it right now. I’m always on the prowl for something good to read. I tend to like Politics, History, mystery/sci-fi/, and Computer reference books. Basically, if it has pages, […]

The week in review. The Linux class started at Pace University this week. I have seven guys in the class (in all the Linux classes I’ve taken & instructed, not one woman; go figure), and it seems like a good group so far. Pace has been a bit disorganized in having the materials, computers , […]

A lot of people ask me to explain Quants to them. It’s a bit difficult, so I I found this ARTICLE ON QUANTS that is a fairly interesting read as well as a reasonable explaination to what it’s all about. While I’m not on the financial end of things, I do write software for the […]

In a stunning last minute decision, I’ve decided to register for school again.  I’ve taken a semester or two off because I’ve been teaching the Linux Engineering course at Pace University’s Computer Learning Center, and wanted to take a bit of time to see what that would do to my schedule.  I wasn’t  really planning on […]

I don’t generally go away on Labor Day weekend, mostly because everyone else goes away that weekend.  I’m not a huge fan of sitting in traffic on the way home, or crowded airports, or hotels jammed with idiots (everyone else who’s not me). So, it was a quiet weekend for Rosie and I. We worked […]

This weekend Rosie and I attended a Chinese Wedding in Manhattan.  The recption was held on 39th Street between Park Avenue and Maddison Avenue. We had a really good time. Most of the girls from Rosie’s Dragon Boat team were there, so lots of shots and dancing ensued. One thing I’ve noticed during my travels is that […]

Rosie and I went to a Murder Mystery Dinner with Lynn and Larry last week. It was good for a bunch of laughs. I’d say the Killing Kompany put on a good show. Rosie went upstate to her dads house for a few days with her sisters, so it’s been kind of quiet at home. […]

If you’re not into the geek stuff .. skip this post [ok .. it’s just us geeks now] I was trolling around the Verizon store in the mall two days ago waiting for Rosie to finish shopping at some other store. She doesn’t normally leave me alone to long in any kind of store where […]
