Workflown’t

Next week I get to attempt to create this workflow I drew up for our hiring process in Sharepoint:

I’m so excited!

Decluttering our office

(This is something I wrote a while ago on another page of mine that I never really did anything with. I figured I’d move it here where someone might see it. Enjoy?)

After moving into our new house, painting, buying furniture, assembling the furniture, painting the furniture, reorganizing, and finally, setting up the rooms, [...]

Recent photos

A couple of iPhone photos from recent activities:

Some snails I had for Christmas dinner with Colette’s family at a Chinese restaurant.

Zac dipping a pickle in his Jameson. Delicious.

A late Thanksgiving post

This year’s family Thanksgiving dinner was held at our house (our first one in the new house), so Colette and I were definitely busy getting everything cleaned up and making food for the festivities.

Most of Colette’s Tampa-based family came over, along with my parents and two of my brothers, so we had a packed house. [...]

A reminder to myself

I need to start reading more often.

For the last five or six years, I’ve been heavily into reading. I mean, like, books. Not reading magazines or the internet or blogs or whatever. Books.

This year I’ve misbehaved, though. Sometimes for good reason (we did buy a house and get married, both large [...]

Surround sound all up in my face

We have a new 5.1 surround setup in the living room, so this weekend I must’ve tried at least half of the games I own just to check out their surround sound experiences. Call of Duty 4, Gears of War, BioShock, Brothers in Arms, Rock Band 2, Rez, Force Unleashed, maybe some more, too. [...]

Obedience school

We’re planning a final beach trip with the dog this year before it gets too cold to go. In fact, it might even be nicer this time of year, if it’s not 9,000 degrees out there.

We’re also going to take the pup to a six-week obedience training school that’s put on by the City. [...]

Mount up

I finally got around to mounting our LCD TV a couple of weeks ago. We’ve got a Westinghouse LVM-47w1 screen, 1080p and all. We bought it around Thanksgiving 2006, so this mount project has been a long time coming. Mostly I was waiting until we bought our house to do the job, [...]

Chloe, beach day number 2

We took Chloe to the Honeymoon Island dog beach again. She absolutely loves going there, but she has a hard time just settling down and hanging out. She’s genetically programmed to pay attention to every dog and person around her at the same time, which results in her running back and forth around [...]

The latest “new PC” plan

I’ve been threatening to build a new PC every six months for the past 3 or 4 years, I just never pull the trigger on it. I don’t know why, seeing as I have no real problem spending as much money as it would take going out to bars and dinner and everything else.

This [...]
