Fart Night at the Museum

Sheri and I had some passes to the Denver Art Museum that were about to expire, so we went last night. Last night was the last Friday of the month, so there were a lot of various festivities and activities going on. It’s a great museum and one that doesn’t take itself too seriously, which…

Well that was fast

I have a really nice older D-link WiFi router that has served well for years. When we moved last December, I got a speed bump in our internet service from 20MB/s to 125MB/s, quite a jump. I even bought a brand new cable modem that had more channels to bond (which just means lots more…

Old Dogs. New Tricks.

I have been a Windows user for over twenty years. I have used Linux on the desktop for around ten years. My primary work machines have run Linux for around four years. I never really used Macs. I have tried in the past, but it just never really worked out. OS X looks good on…

Organizing the ones and zeros

I am trying out some new software and workflows and rather enjoying the process. I have switched from a haphazard way of storing information to Evernote (this link will take you to a referral page where you get a free month of Evernote Premium and I get points that will get me free Evernote).

Pad Thai One On

Sheri and I went on a little adventure tonight. We went to Old Town Littleton to have dinner and do a bit of shopping. I also found a Thai restaurant called Wild Ginger to try out. I’m not a huge fan of Thai food (too much coconut) but there’s always something I can try. Sheri loves…

One good thing about pervasive Christmas

Thanksgiving is weeks away. But I’m seeing Christmas everywhere. Even before the kids were out trick-0r-treating I saw hints of red and green here and there with pine tree accents. I gotta say that Christmas is really overstepping its bounds. Santa will be appearing at the local mall starting this coming Saturday (November 8!!). The only…

More work talk

At work, we primarily develop in WordPress, which started out as a blogging platform but had really evolved over its ten years into a full-fledged Content Management System (CMS). Another popular CMS is called Drupal. It’s officially pronounced “DROO-pol”, but I pronounce it “dru-PAUL” like the famous drag queen with an extra letter. I’ve always…
