Went out last night, for the first time in a long while, and caught Big Smith at a bar in Dickson St. We caught their happy hour set, which was very fine. They’re a bluegrass band, of sorts, and they did great versions of some gospel songs that I remember from my youth, including an [...]
Just updated the archive.
Back from DC. My flight arrived on time, but Gina (who was flying on a different airline) had to contend with all manner of delays and technical difficulties which delayed the last leg of her return by several hours. We both enjoyed DC a lot. I think Gina would really like to live there, and [...]
Greetings from Fairfax, Virginia. After the office trip to DC (for the Council of Opportunity in Education national conference), I stayed a few extra days to see the city and hang out with my wife, who came up here to visit her friend Amy (were at Amy’s right now, in fact. Gina’s asleep on the [...]
I’m off to Bentonville today, to do another recruitment. I think I’m going to have to take this purchasing stuff with me and do it at home late tonight. Otherwise, I’ll never have it ready to go by Friday. I’m excited about the new gear we’re ordering. We’ll have seven nice Pentium III’s; an external [...]

I tried going to bed a little early tonight, but I had too much on my head to think about, so I decided to purge it by posting it here (most of it, anyway. This is a public forum, after all, so I can’t say everything I think). I’ve been thinking about work and feeling [...]
I’ve had a crappy day or two. My wife is under a lot of stress and I’ve just been down in general. I hope the weekend will take care of it. I got the guestbook up for beta testing. I think it’s going to work out fine. I need to add one to my bassbook [...]
People around the office are very pleased with the new campus visit form that I’m developing for the program. I’m pretty happy with it myself. The design draws inspiration from freshmeat.net (the place to go for Linux software) and, of course, zeldman.com.
I spent today at a middle school in Rogers, Arkansas, recruiting sixth graders [...]
