Well, that was a bad call. SunRocket basically imploded this week, and I’m unlikely to see a prorated return on my flat $200 for a year of service. So now I’m on the fence; I’d sure hate to come crawling back to Vonage in time to …

In memoriam
Elena passed away at 12:55 this morning. She was surrounded by her family and close friends. She stayed with us long enough to see her sister Maria who had, at Elena’s encouragement, followed through with plans to make a two-week trip to …
I am watching something beautiful
(This post is about Elena. Shes not doing very well. I invite you to read this, but I don’t want you to have to.)
I am sitting on a couch. In the center of the room, my wife and her parents are gathered around Elena’s bed. Home and Garden …
Farewell, Brix
After giving the whole thing some serious consideration, I am ending my career with Brix Networks. I have had a tremendous seven years there, and will miss working along side some of the smartest engineers I could ever hope to meet; chief among them, …
Another day, another small miracle
Elena is out of surgery now. The surgeon said that the procedure went very smoothly, and that the tumor was very easy to identify and remove. She’ll spend 24 hours in ICU, and another day or two in the hospital; after that, it’s her call …
Number two in a series

She (if you …
How we become our grandparents
Last weekend I had the privilege of DJing at the wedding of some friends. I’ve unofficially DJed a few parties, but never something as involved (and DJ-dependant) as a life-changing ceremony followed by several hours of dancing. Annika will …
The new lieutenant
Jane Immelheim leaned against the wall of the situation room, her face a picture of zen-like calm. Her hands were wrapped around a coffee mug, and the mug in turn was wrapped around a viscous, day-old sludge. She sipped absent mindedly as she watched …
When does a resume become a C.V.?
When you publish something! And let me tell you, its a page-turner. Oh well; you gotta start somewhere :-)
The spectacular deaths of computers
Without going into too many details, I started Sunday with two computers and finished with none. Hardware problems were the order of the day, and so I am ditching my miserable SFF case (I’m looking at you, Soltek) and going with a comparitively …
Old-skool blogging
After some consideration (and paranoia about the direction things seem to be going on the web), I decided to reign in control over my own ideas (unoriginal as they are). So thats why I’m blogging under my own steam now, despite the excellent …
