Here you'll find updates on big events in my life as well as photos, a calendar, and my resume.
I don’t really feel like writing, but it seems like I should given the events of the past few days. I’m finished with my bachelor’s degree now, and I’m joining the “real world” tomorrow when I start work at Garmin.
No exciting news to report on the house… they still haven’t done anything on it. [...]
It’s been a couple months since I’ve posted any sort of an update on my life, so…. here goes:
I completed all of my fall-semester classes and received acceptable grades for them… kind of. I currently have two incomplete grades for the semester. One of them is from a year-long software engineering project class [...]
Dr. Hsu recently wrote an entry about the “user-driven sysadmin” and labeled me as one. It’s nice to see that your work is appreciated sometimes.
So… I’ve been doing a lot of writing papers and stats homework this semester. I just wanted to say that…
… wait for it …
… here it comes …
LaTeX is neat.

Aww, what a wonderful weekend. I got to spend all day Saturday and Sunday with friends/family from NW Kansas, and it proved to be a great time and very relaxing.
I need to do that again soon if school keeps exhausting me as much as it has this past week.
I’d been hoping for a call about a co-op experience for this coming spring, and yesterday it came. Jacobs Engineering’s “Engineering and Science Contract Group” has a contract with NASA (formerly held by Lockheed Martin), and they are taking up to 20 students each semester to co-op with them in Houston. The lady [...]
This week has sucked in a big way. I had some friends over during the weekend, so nothing much got done during that time period. Then I had exams on Monday and Tuesday. Long homework assignments were due Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I attended two meetings on Wednesday. And now it’s [...]
I’m taking Geology 102 (Earth Through Time) from Dr. Allen Archer this semester, and he has a policy that any cell phone ringing during class results in a pop quiz for everybody. At least in theory, the peer pressure should be enough to keep any sane person from leaving their ringer on when they [...]
Well, I just did the semi-yearly textbook buying ritual, and half.com saved me ~$125. I ended up buying my math book from Varney’s since the price was comparable and ordering the wrong edition of a math is almost certain death, but the other books were about half as expensive if I ordered online.
