Geek Reprieve: For those times between being a geek

  • My Dichotomous Life

    I’m a web developer. I work with technolgies built on technologies in a worldwide arena. I sit on a yoga ball in my office upstairs and can deal with people in several different countries in one day. I make my living staring at screens and typing on a keyboard. I have four screens at my…

  • After the Snow

    We had snow last night, went sledding today, and then took a quick trip around the property. We used my dad’s 4×4, and I crouched in the bed taking photos. We didn’t stop a lot, so the photos aren’t that great, but the view was spectacular! This is all on the property we’re living on!

  • Sledding

    We went sledding by the lake with me and Xavier, my parents, my sister and her kids, and everyone’s dogs!

  • Oklahoma Cold

    I’ve never lived somewhere cold. I’ve lived in San Diego and Phoenix, places where you could live year round and not be that inconvenienced if you didn’t own a jacket. Enter Oklahoma. When we moved here, I said that I wanted a white Christmas. I’ve never had one, and I just figured it’s time. Well,…

  • My Journey to WordPress Commit

    For those that don’t know what WordPress is, it’s software to run a website. It runs sites ranging from this blog; to news sites like CNN, NBC, CBS, and TechCrunch; to celebrity sites like Bill Cosby, LL Cool J, Howie Mandel, and the Rolling Stones; and everything in between. It powers 18.9% of the top…

  • The Siren Song of the Oklahoma Rain

    A couple days ago, this is what I woke up to: It was in the low 70s, the air was clean and crisp, the wonderful smell of rain permeated the area, and the view from my porch was awesome. The whole thing was irresistible. Not the “I call it irresistible, but I resisted so it…

  • Junior Dragster for Sale

    We have a junior dragster for sale. We’re asking $3,500, which is a steal for everything you’re getting. It’s got absolutely everything you need to go racing except a driver, and has plenty of extras as well. It looks amazing too, with a paint job by Bad Boy Designs. We refer to it simply as…

  • We’re Moving

    So for anyone that missed it, we’re going to be moving out to Oklahoma in June. The move is definitely bittersweet. We’re looking forward to the new adventures but know that we’ll be leaving behind many great friends. However, we’re certain that this is the best thing for our family right now. We want to…

  • Morning Hike

    We also ended up finding a geocache up there, which was a pretty cool surprise. You can see James signing it (waxing poetic no doubt) in the panoramics.

  • Olympic Game Farm

    While in Washington, we decided to go visit the Olympic Game Farm, a drive-thru wildlife park. We’d been to Bearizona, a similar place near Flagstaff, AZ, but this one offered the chance to feed the non-carnivorous animals which sounded pretty cool. You buy loaves of bread at the entrance and feed the animals as you…
