I woke up early today. Very Early. Like 3 a.m. early. I woke up either because I was excited at the prospect of the DOW breaking the Year 2000 all time high, or because my son was screaming, “BLANKEEZ ON!” at the top of his lungs. After tucking him back in, I was still wired. [...]

I got another version of the “your blog sucks” email. This one can be summed up as, “talk about software development already!” This blog? relates to coding – no management technobabble, just some inapt references to Jessica Simpson.

A recent situation caused me identify striking similarities between the two. Wives have EXPECTATIONS and when those are not met, they make DEMANDS. If those go unanswered they become IRATE. If they still do not get appeased, they will LEAVE in search of a better product. In my personal situation, the EXPECTATION was that the [...]

A blogging friend of mine IM’ed and basically said, “Hey man, your blog sucks. You should kill yourself before you write another line. I can’t ping it or trackback or anything.” This particular guy is ‘mac guy’ AND a ‘cat guy’ but he does now how to say cool things like, “consolidate the blogosphere” (whatever [...]

I have the attention span of a shrew. Sometimes at night (when I’m tooling away on my laptop) my wife asks questions and inevitably gets mad at me. Wife: Are you gonna fix the air conditioning this weekend? Me: Yes Wife: Are you even listening to me? Me: Yes Wife: Are you going to drown [...]

Prior to getting married my wife and I had a very successful long distance relationship. I was working for Merrill Lynch in Chicago and she was finishing her Physical Therapy Masters in Dallas. We didn’t have a “plan” to handle the relationship, but basically it went like this: (1) call frequently to check in just [...]
