I've updated my resume again. New format! If you're looking for web/database development, (and who is these days?), let's talk. And this time I have an objective statement.

"What was and what may be lie, like children whose faces we cannot see, in the arms of silence. All we ever have is here, now." - Ursula K. Le Guin
I've been very busy with Perl, 802.11b, and Final Cut Pro. Not necessarily in that order. What does all of that add up to? Not sure. I'll get back to you. But I haven't been feeling webloggy lately. I should be back in the blogroove soon. Until then, check out the links and words at two of my favorite weblogs: Spin of the Day and rc3.org. Consistently great stuff.
Would you like me to help you store, manage, and access data? That's what I do. It sounds dry, but it's very exciting work. Everyone has data they need to store, manage, and access (especially via the web). Let me know. Thanks.
Can you tell I'm not in marketing?
A web project I've been involved with on and off for the past six months went live today. My contributions were mostly behind the scenes: storing, accessing, and managing data. It's nice to see it all come together like this.
Are you interested in the history of civil engineering? Of course you are! Check it out.
yeah, yum.
Congratulations Matt and Kay! And Happy Birthday Kay! So much to celebrate and so little time. (And Happy Birthday Matt [in advance]!)
He's right. Excellent, excellent food. I didn't think I'd be saying such good things about someplace on the dark side (Napa Valley, CA) but, yeah, there it is. Visit Sonoma County too. :)
I'd just like to say (because I can) that when people are no longer able to criticize their government, they are experiencing a totalitarian government. I might not agree with dissenting opinions, but I believe in free speech.
It was like something out of a difference-between-men-and-women stand-up routine last night at the store. I drug skp out specifically to pick up the Simpsons DVDs which she wasn't thrilled about. But in the store, right next to them, was a box full of Pride and Prejudice DVDs. She freaked. out. I've only seen bits of that show as I'm running out of the room, but it looks like people in elaborate costumes speaking stilted english; going on and on about some Mr. Darcy. It has rubbed off on skp. It's Mr. Darcy this and Mr. Darcy that around here.
Tonight I'll get, "Mr. Darcy would never post something like that to his weblog."
If you don't already own it, stop whatever you're doing and purchase the Simpsons Complete First Season on DVD. (Tip: My local discount store was cheaper than Amazon.) Or better yet, find someone like me who already purchased the DVDs, and invite yourself over for a Simpsons festivus. While the first season isn't as good as later seasons, it's fascinating to hear Matt Groening and other creators dissecting each episode. (At one point they talk about how they standardized pupil size!) They've also included three originial scripts, complete with pen marks. mmmm, pen marks.
