You've landed on my professional weblog and portfolio!
I have an account with Google Calendar that keeps track of all my events and stuff. I also like to keep track of when movies I want to see open. I decided to search around opening dates over at Fandango and was greeted with a humorous spat of irony. (more…)
Permalink...I just read this over on the IEBlog: Microsoft’s Interoperability Principles and IE8. I can’t say enough how happy this makes me! (more…)
Permalink...I recently drove into downtown Fredericksburg to take pictures for a project I’m working on. I didn’t spend much time there but my attention was drawn by a shop across the street from the Fredericksburg Visitor Center. It’s called Olde Time Lollipops Candy and Fudge Factory and you absolutely have to check it out. (more…)
Permalink...The concept of “backwards compatibility” was introduced, as far as I can remember, by the Playstation 2. It was the first console with a major selling point being its ability to play the library of games you already owned on the Playstation. Now every console has it: the Xbox 360 plays Xbox games, the Wii plays Gamecube games, the Gameboy DS plays Gameboy Advance games, etc. Sony has been playing with this concept in the Playstation 3, the original SKUs having full PS2 hardware and the newer SKUs utilizing software emulation. I’ve been watching the process play out and it now seems that according to some the next round of SKUs (could Sony get a grip on their hardware configurations already?) will not feature backwards compatibility with Playstation 2 titles.

Permalink...Barack Obama has at least one vote in the state of Virginia! Also, his campaign web page is far better designed then any other candidate, hands down.
Permalink...You probably noticed there are new photos on my Flickr page. Chrissy and I just returned from a wonderful vacation on Marco Island, Florida. We roomed at the Eagle’s Nest (not to be confused with this Eagle’s Nest) in a well-furnished villa directly on the beach.
How did two twenty-somethings with student loan debt afford, nay, even have time for such a trip? Well… (more…)
Permalink...I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 and recently took it on vacation. The morning after we returned, I booted the laptop and was surprised to find that it had a full charge but only lasted 45 min. I played with it a little more and have determined that the battery is dying and holding less charge. (more…)
Permalink...So, it’s great to buy something that has a rebate. You pay full price but the manufacturer is willing to send you a portion of that price back. The downside is that you often have to wait up to 2 months to get your check. (more…)
Permalink...Apparently, according to this article, Stafford and Fredericksburg recycle 40.4% of their solid waste. That’s pretty cool! It’d be nice to get to 50% or 60% in the coming years. I wonder, how do our stats compare to other areas of the nation?
Permalink...A lot has been happening recently, I haven’t been doing a good job of keeping my blog up-to-date with all of it. The short story is that I’ve a job that is going very well and will help build my skills and refine my talents. Part of that job involves a good deal of studying and that’s mostly what I’ve been up to in the last three months. I wish I could post some of the work I’m doing but as it is contract work, I can’t really talk about it.
However, I have been doing a good deal of drawing lately. Last week I decided to do an anatomical study of the bones and muscles in the arm in various positions. Check it out on the portfolio page or follow the link on the example: (more…)
