A couple of years ago, I was doing some software development as a subcontractor and nothing was going right. Sure, I was able to get most of the functionality working, but that last bit that was going to complete the project was proving incredibly difficult. In short, nothing that I tried was working. I wrote […]

Why!? Because that’s who I want to be.
As the challenge was revealed this morning, I watched in a sort of transfixed horror. Not this week. It’s not because “I don’t feel like” or even because “I don’t want to.” It’s actually a bit more of “I shouldn’t.” Is that real? Sure it is. Is it an absolute? Probably not. I have a […]
Texas & Iced Tea
“I was just wondering how much iced tea it would take to cover the state of Texas if it were poured out in puddle a single molecule thick.” So one day Erin and I are driving down the road and she asks, “So, what are you thinking?” Well, that was the answer. Yes, this actually […]
Left Turning Vehicles
Erin and I were pondering this one together. This is one of those yellow traffic signs that I just ignore. Sure, I probably cared about it when I was 16, but now? It kind of begs the question, right? Left turning from where? Here is the funny thing. Erin was thinking it might be cars […]
Mouse Icon
Almost every single time I mock up a screen for work, I find myself searching on the internet (thanks, Google Images) for “mouse cursor.” The last time I did this, one of the images was a screen capture of the Windows Control Panel screen (where users can change the mouse cursor). Now, I do this […]
Return to the Web Site
Anyone still out there? It’s hard to believe that it has been over a year since my last post! No kidding, I remember that night like it was yesterday. Well, it has been an absolutely incredible year. I hope that you and yours had a blessed and Merry Christmas and I wish you a prosperous […]
Spatial Awareness
The moon is absolutely gorgeous tonight. Perhaps it’s the cool, crisp air that makes it look so clear – accentuated by a few scattered clouds that give it the illusion of being a spotlight pointing to another place on the planet. A spotlight. Interesting. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth, right? The […]
Wow…almost 6 years!
Six years ago, blogging was still pretty new. Relatively new, I guess. Looking back, it seems like I was pretty angry. I think that’s why I stopped writing. I didn’t enjoy being negative. Then why be negative? Most of the blogs I had been reading were “rants.” Hence the former title of “Insane Rants.” Rants […]
My Paradox
Last night, I updated my (first) blog. It was my third post. I started the blog in 2002. When I first started it, blogging was still (relatively) new. So, being a young guy with extra time, I started a blog. Then begins the paradox. I never once considered, “hey, what novel way can I use […]
Happy Halloween?
What’s up with trick-or-treating? I used to do it when I was a kid, but I always dressed up! If I am going to go ask someone for candy, I think I need to be dressed up. And I always said “trick-or-treat.” This year, kids came to my door, rang the door bell, and when […]
