Ice Cream and the Sleeping Kid

This is just too funny.
Oh Say Can You See …
May 7, 2012
I just haven’t seen anything this good in a really long time. Sure, it’s from almost 5 years ago, but tonight it was new to me.
Open Source
April 25, 2012
I will be running a booth at the Utah Open Source Convention next week, May 3 – 5. I will have a small five panel Liquid Galaxy on display. The usual LG systems are made up of seven 52-55″ HDTVs, but this one will consist of five 24″ displays. It’s really just a way of introducing LG to the Open Source community, and a way to showcase my company.
HDMI Cables
March 14, 2012
One thing to remember when searching for electronics cables is to make sure that you get the right one. I can’t believe how often I end up not taking the extra time to do adequate research. Here’s an example of something I would have missed if it hadn’t been pointed out to me.
End Pointer
March 7, 2012
I am now an End Pointer, meaning that I now work for End Point Corporation. My first day was Monday, and I’m trying to get into the swing of things. This week has been pretty much all learning, so far.
Things I’ve worked on learning more this week:
- Camp development
- Chef
- Git repositories
- GPG and encryption
- IRC messaging
- SSH and public keys
- Vim/Emacs
Hello children. Hey Chef.
March 7, 2012
Was playing around with chef client today. Here are some quick notes on installation on Ubuntu 11.10, not that anybody else will need them. They’re pretty much just for me.
sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://apt.opscode.com/ oneiric-0.10 main"
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install opscode-keyring
sudo apt-get install chef
git clone user@server.domain:/path/to/git/repository/package.git
Here are some links to the wiki for chef.
Visiting California and Bend
August 12, 2011
We are in the last night of our week long vacation. We started by driving out to San Jose, where we visited mom, the beach, and Great America. We then drove up to Bend, Oregon, where we drove up to Dutchman Flat, hiked part of the way around Todd Lake, rafted on the Deschutes River, and visited a bunch of friends. We went to Lava Butte and Crater Lake today, then had a barbecue and roasted s’mores. We have to go home tomorrow, and I’m just not looking forward to it. I’ve had such a good time on our trip.
Go Pack Go!
February 6, 2011
Packers win, 31-25!
Observations: Christina Aguilera was horrible. The Black Eyed Peas were every bit as bad, just with a more elaborate sucky performance. The commercials were really bad this year.

Words to Live By
November 19, 2010
I just overheard some words to live by:
“Don’t go crashing through a curtain, cuz you don’t know what’s on the other side.”
