So I had an adventure tonight

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

Look at what The Washington Post had to say about it WASHINGTON — President Bush was the host of the annual congressional picnic Thursday at the White House, but it was his chief of staff’s band that came close to stealing the show. (more) A little over a week ago, my dad gets a call […]

How to Erase a Dead Hard Drive

Tuesday, June 13th, 2006

It’s data security. Digital Sandbox style. Hey, we couldn’t get the hard drive to load, but we wanted to make sure that the user’s personal data was gone. This is what happens when engineers put their heads together. And have access to fire.

Keeping Busy and Cooking

Tuesday, June 13th, 2006

I’ve been busy the last few days. We’re getting a lot of new people at work, and I’m on a project in addition to doing IT, so I’ve been keeping busy. I’ve also been doing a lot of cooking in the evenings. Tonight, it was my oat fudge bars recipe. We’ll see how they came […]

Making a Great Steak . . . Indoors

This weekend, I tried a new recipe. I decided to be brave and cook a steak indoors. I’ve had previous problems with cooking steaks inside. I tried to fry a ribeye about two years ago, and it was so disgusting that I couldn’t finish it. Thanks to some tips from my coworkers, especially Mike, I […]

Judge Orders Lawyers to Play Rock-Paper-Scissors

A Florida judge has ordered two lawyers to play rock-paper-scissors to settle a dispute. Unfortunately, all that was settled was who would pick the location for the deposition. Even still, I think it’s a great caricature of American society. See the full story at CNN Money.

DC Fun

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

Last night, I took a detour through downtown DC on my way home from work. Even though it was one of the heaviest traffic nights I can remember, I had a good time downtown. I had dinner at Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street in the jazz district. Ben’s Chili Bowl has probably the best […]

Renewed

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

27Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD, and my right is disregarded by my God”? 28Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his […]

Friday, June 2nd, 2006

Hope you all had an opportunity to celebrate national doughnut day. I celebrated by bringing Krispy Kreme in to work for breakfast today. Mmmm Krispy Kreme. Okay, I admit it. I’ve had four today.
