#Sunshine2Seattle Day 2 – Oregon, Ho-shit…

Okay, so the day wasn't all doom and gloom (though the road mostly was - snow and freezing rain all the way).  It was a bit of a disappointing start out of Utah - we discovered that you can't actually get to the Spiral Jetty without a Jeep and four sherpas.

MacBook Pro HardDrive Upgrade

I'd heard that it's not that hard to upgrade stuff in a Mac, it just takes patience or money. That's all well and good, if you have the money to replace it if you break something - or a decent backup computer. Although I have 3 other computers in the house - one other Mac included in the count, I don't have a computer to replace this one if I happened to kill my MacBook Pro during the upgrade process. Any mistake spelled doom for my entrepreneurial career.

Today is my Birthday – Watch Star Trek

Seth Godin came out with a blog post about what you should do on your birthday. I like the idea of turning an ordinarily "selfish" day into a day of giving back. Unfortunately, I don't have any money to organize anything. And I don't have much to share that doesn't come from my mind. But - when I think about it, the one thing that I would really want to share with everybody is Star Trek.

Back to Basics – Let's Go To School

Deciding that I shouldn't limit my options to just Marketing-only jobs - just in case - I'm going through all the programming books I bought as well.

Parsing an HTML form with ASP.Net

Today I went back to basics to solve a problem. The Marketing Department needed a simple form that would e-mail whatever a user entered to an internal e-mail address.

Death and Taxes

It got me thinking... what would happen if I died tomorrow. Would people know where to look? What was really important? Probably not. But somehow I keep managing to stack this crap up somehow. Books and more books in a never-ending cascading pile of crap.

Yeah… I Did That

So, I was bored and saw a picture of Chief O'Brien. Maybe not the best idea to let me loose on the LOLz sites.

What a Weekend!

I had a crazy, packed weekend, complete with Technology Student Association conference and castle ballistics competition, bar hopping, bad pizza, Defending the Caveman, and the rocky mountain tech trifecta!
