I thought I’d share the story of how I herniated a disc in my back to hopefully education some programmers out there on why it is important to get up, stretch, work out, drink water, and all that healthy jazz you hear people talk about. Getting in the zone is great, but as you get [...]
So my life is not quite exciting as Brandon’s. I haven’t packed up my family and moved to another country. But my life is still eventful. I thought I would take some time to look back on 2010 to see what I have done. Celebrated 10 years of happy marriage. Had our fourth child. Baptized [...]
I play Ultimate Frisbee about three times per week during my lunch break. If it weren’t for competitive sports, I don’t know how I would get my exercise. For some reason, after playing ultimate or basketball I crave dairy. In the past I would often stop at a grocery store on the way back to [...]

What if I bought all the parts and ended up getting a processors that was not compatible with a motherboard for example. I was sure I could figure it out, [...]
I’m posting this because it seems rather simple, but it took me a while to find – even with some tips from some helpful people in the #django IRC channel. Let’s say you have a ChoiceField set up like the documents describe: Â class Foo(models.Model): GENDER_CHOICES = ( (‘M’, ‘Male’), (‘F’, ‘Female’), ) gender = [...]
So it was labor day. For some reason – likely do to excessive advertising, I think of RC Willey on Labor day. My wife has been wanting a bedroom set. We were planning on ordering from Canopy, but I thought it would be fun to go look at RC Willey and see if they had [...]
This is a test post from Windows Live Writer. Someone said it was the "bomb diggity" so I had to check it out! Not bad indeed! It certainly looks cool: And it’s like editing directly in my blog as it uses my existing CSS! Wow!
