First, let me say that I do support President Bush…. but this is just funny…

This should be fun! :)

How well do you know Rose and Mark? …don’t worry it’s a short 6 question quiz, and it’s multiple choice. I’ll apologize ahead of time for the pop up ads from the site that hosts this… why do cool things have to suck sometimes?

Despite the outcome of the OSU/UM Football game, it was still a great game to watch… I knew it wouldn’t be a blow out, and let’s face it… OSU got lucky… but luck is a part of winning.

Not much else to report… life goes on as usual.

New design… do you like it? Let me know..

My tenure at GE is coming to a close for now, hopefully today I can wrap up the current phase of the project. As always, I’ll keep you updated…

So I’ve been at GE now for about a week and a half… finished the final technical specification/analysis report this morning, being sure to go back over and cross my T’s and dot my I’s. I have a meeting to review it at 3pm.

Rose and I shared a great anniversary evening over the past weekend. We went to dinner at Buca de Bepo, went and saw Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and I surprised her with a nice earring and pendent set. We had promised that we wouldn’t get anything for each other… but I lied :) … I don’t think she minded…

Still no new design up… sorry. Maybe this weekend after Michigan crushes Ohio State and dashes their chances of a National Championship :)

More later I’m sure…

Work update…
So, I’ve been “on the bench” now since the end of September (“on the bench” is a term describing a consultant who doesn’t have a placement) and it’s been pretty dull, but that’s all about to change. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been writting a proposal to go do a little work at General Electric on a fixed bid basis (fixed bid… lump sum, no matter if I do it in 8 or 80 hours). I found out today that we did indeed get the bid and I should be starting to work their next week! Woohoo!

Site update….
This morning, I actually got to spend some time thinking about a new design.. I came up with something, but as I sit here typing it I’ve realized that it resembles the colors of
Ohio State… and I don’t know if I can live with that…. hopefully the site will go up next week.

Wow, I suck… the updates have been really lagging as of late, and I have no excuse.

So lets see… updates…

I was in a one car ‘accident’ a while back, I hydroplaned coming off an exit ramp and slammed in to a street sign causing about $2K worth of damage… thank go for insurance, but it sucked pretty hard not having my truck for 10 days. I had a rental, but it sucked too… I will never buy a Ford Focus. By the way.. I wasn’t hurt at all.

Rose and I have ordered new windows for the house… we should be getting them installed next month. We are both very excited to not be feeling a breeze through a closed wondow… I swear, they might as well not even have glass.

I went and saw Rush on Monday night… it was outstanding… I was totally blown away… again.

Halloween came and went… Rose and I carved pumpkins. I have pictures, and I’ll try to post them someday.. right after I redesign the site.

I promise to try and do a better job of updating… I swear.
