Introducing Include_Google_JS for Ruby on Rails

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Alright, I put this out a few weeks ago, but I never bothered to write up a blog post for it, and I have no excuse for that.
Include_Google_JS is a plugin for Ruby on Rails that will use Google’s hosted copies of the major Javascript libraries.
All you have to do is add :include_google_js => […]

The Last Thing To Let Go

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Tonight we would have been at the concert. Our show, the band that had been significant in our relationship. Our first movie out together. The impetus for our trip, the first one I ever took in a relationship. Instead, I walked to the venue, met a couple people, and gave them the tickets. Our tickets, […]

Things and Stuff

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

I threw a few links up on the side, did a little house cleaning as well. I’ve linked to my blog on cutting back on unnecessary things, ExpectLess. I just put up an article on the Tabata Interval exercise method I’ve been trying lately, though I usually focus more on cutting back on clutter and […]

Spring Is Here

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

And it’s been beautiful outside. Well, not so much today, but yesterday was exactly what I’ve been looking forward to in spring weather. I did a lot of walking around Minneapolis, checking out my neighborhood. I found a little grocery a couple blocks away and a few other shops. I also saw a bum fight […]

Dead Phone

Friday, April 4th, 2008

My phone died on Friday. I was making a call around lunch time, and it just shut off. I plugged it in to a charger, and there was nothing. I could get it to come on for about 30 to 40 seconds, and then it just shut back down.
I headed to the Mall of America […]

Happy Holidays

Monday, December 24th, 2007

So, I’ve obviously been quite absent in writing here - shocking, I know. I’m in Sequim, Washington for a week, visiting my parents along with my brother and sister. We’ve gone to see my grandparents a few times as well.
I love having this time to spend with family and to enjoy everyone’s company and stories. […]

Delicious Keeps My Site Active

Saturday, October 13th, 2007

No posts lately, as I’ve been staying quite busy. So what have I been doing?
Work has been good, and I’ve started to like being there a lot more than I did at first. There’s less excitement in the projects and the environment, but I’m getting a lot of opportunity to try new things and push […]

Oh, Seattle Airport!

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

My 1pm flight from Seattle to Salt Lake City was delayed today, and so I would miss my flight to Minneapolis if I took the flight, resulting in staying the night in Salt Lake City. Instead, I’m taking the red eye to Cincinnati, then flying to Minneapolis in the morning.
I have been in this airport […]

Simplification

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

I’m trying to wipe out all the excess in my life now - the things I have that I don’t need, don’t use, can’t justify.
I’m not going quite to the level of the 100 Things Challenge. Yet.
I am, however, cleaning out a lot of what I have. I’m starting to go through all the boxes […]

A Broken Phone, A Loaner Phone

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

My phone broke in the oddest way, and now I have a dirty loaner phone while my replacement is mailed to me. It is fantastic.
Yesterday, while I waited for the light rail to take me home, my phone broke. Chock it up to quality Razr construction, because there is nothing that happened then that should […]
