Goodness. Where has all the time gone. Why it seems like only yesterday when the fall term started, but here I am, working through the final days of the term. Once more, met some really interesting people with some great backstories. Mario continues to be a favorite. Taija the minx. Ibrahim, the Egyption hip-hop dancer (he’s rather good). Sydney the raven haired coder. Not forgetting James, the script writer. Tough to see he’s not taking anymore classes. Good people, one and all. As the final couple of classes fade off into the sunset, I’m thrilled with the new selection. Taking more...

We just got back from our much needed vacation which consisted of several flights, two countries, and many souvenirs. I won’t bore you with the details, suffice to say we had a great time. Here’s a quick thumbnail of the trip. We arrived in Heathrow Airport, London, England and were met by friends. After catching up on a little sleep, we began our day-trips into London. We saw all the main sights including the London Eye (fascinating). After three days of training into London, we picked up the rental car and took off to tour the countryside without any predetermined plans. We had no rooms...

Looking forward to enjoying everything about the Apple experience, I brought home the first one and found a problem with the workmanship of the navigation pad. I was annoyed. Not a deal breaking development but when you plunk down the kind of...

While it’s true I’m an NFL fan, honestly, my NFL viewing comes to a pinnacle during the NFL divisional playoff games. Normally the best games of the year, I typically put in a call to the family, tell them I’ll be away (even though I’m simply sitting in front of the TV) and get down to some serious watching. However, the 2007 games (played last weekend; keep up!) were pretty disappointing. Lemme break them down. Packers vs. Seabags It is no secret I’m not exactly a Seabag fan. I think their team is solid, they have good defense, but without any resemblance of a running...

Yes, that’s right. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year! Too bad it is all over so quickly. Until next year.
