Where I step back & realize I’ve disappeared
So, wow. Um, hi! I guess it’s been a little while. The absence? Well, it wasn’t entirely a conscious one. You see, every day, there’s a little thought in the back of my head where I’m hoping to write a blog post — but, in the past year, I guess, that little thought has never… Continue reading Where I step back & realize I’ve disappeared
Where sanity and vanity conflict
I’m having a phenomenally bad day at work today — I had to make a call to kill a project which not only means work made toward the project may have all been wasted, but it also means that, moving forward, I likely have a *lot* more work.

And, as loathe as I am to say it, blogging has not been a priority as of late. Part of the story of why I haven’t been around here is quite… Continue reading Where I return with stories of changes, running, and of course, random
Where I’m a bit random on a Friday
Work has been especially odd lately . . . I’m blaming myself for most of the bad stuff — basically, someone will come to me & ask “how long would it take to build a web app which can do this or that,” and I’ll give an answer. My problem is that, while I always… Continue reading Where I’m a bit random on a Friday
Where I pontificate global standards of “not belonging”
I was chatting with someone the other day about children & “how they fit in.” While my son is no longer a preschooler1, during every preschool parent/teacher meeting, while there may have been some things that we needed to focus on at home, the predominant news I received was “your kids are kind, and are… Continue reading Where I pontificate global standards of “not belonging”
