  • Interviews, more interviews

    Well, I just finished another interview with some folks at Sircon. It’s gotta be my fifth interview with them by now. Also, I have an interview on Thursday of this week for an instructor position with LCTTP at Michigan State University. I think I could really enjoy that job. I’m looking forward to the interview.

  • I’m in the market for a job

    While running Envision Internet Consulting for the last few years has really been fun, the income is just too inconsistent to raise a family on. So, I’m in the market for a regular job. It will be odd after this stretch of self-employment (you other self-employed folks know what I’m talking about), but I’m committed…

  • Look! It’s Chassell.

    Yes, that’s right folks, this is a map of downtown Chassell, where I grew up. Okay, I didn’t actually grow up in Chassell, my parents’ house is outside of Chassell, on Paradise Road. Anyway, for those who’ve wondered how big the town is (anyone?), here’s a street map of the place. Check out Google Maps.…

  • Plumbed

    The garbage disposal unit in our sink was leaking. I did not know it, really, until about three weeks ago (Self: Yeah, so why didn’t you fix it then. Self: Can it.) I finally realized it one day when I opened up the cupboard beneath the sink to get a garbage bag, and I smelled…

  • Truly, this is Chey’s daughter.

    For those of you who know Chey, you know she reads a lot. Really. I noticed a book in the shower this morning. Anyway, it seems Eva is picking up Chey’s affinity for books. She can’t read yet (she only 1.5 yrs). However, she often picks books up and flips through them, mumbling to herself…

  • Our sump pump runs every 45 seconds

    It is warmer today, and the snow is melting. It also rained a little this morning, I think. So, I’m down here about to start drafting some information architecture documents for a client, and this recurring humming noise is distracting. It is our sump pump; I can hear the water splahing into the crock. It’s…

  • reading of late

    Today I started reading Information Architecture for the World Wide Web by Rosenfeld and Morville. This is the second edition. I read the first edition back in 1999, I think it was. It seems much bigger now.

  • redesign coming soon

    Chey hates the look of this site. So, we shall declare a do-over. Soon.

  • CBS News: 5 killed in shootout among deer hunters

    5 killed in shootout among deer hunters Um. You’ve got to be kidding. This is ridiculously tragic. Folks in Northwestern Wisconsin will be talking about this for years to come. My reaction? First, be polite to people who carry loaded guns and this sort of thing shouldn’t happen, right? Right? Or, maybe the suspect is…
