A lot has happened in the last couple months.
I got home from Singapore, having ended my term with Barclays.
I found and started a new job.
I’ve been apartment hunting.
Oh, and I’ve been a member of a jury for the last couple weeks. After it’s over, I can say for whom – but it certainly has been [...]

an awesome visit
Monday, November 2, 2009
but not long enough
My fiancee boarded her flight back to Kentucky this morning (Singapore time). Her three week visit was a blast: we did a weekend trip to Perth Australia, hit the Singapore resort island of Sentosa twice, and a bunch of other little stuff.
We have pictures on facebook of both Perth and [...]
nasa searching for new challenges
Sunday, October 4, 2009
I saw this in /. earlier in the week.
Apparently NASA is turning to the American public for new challenge/contest ideas.
I don’t know whether to be impressed that they’re trying to get new perspective.. or scared that they can’t come up with it on their own.
There’s lots and lots of smart people at NASA. I hope [...]
wedding plans
Friday, September 4, 2009
Have begun.
I just got a site setup for my fiancee and I to keep our friends and family up-to-date on what’s going on: http://warrenmyers.com/wedding/.
And yes – she picked the blog theme
html 5
Wednesday, September 2, 2009
A list apart has a nice write-up of the forthcoming HTML 5 standard.
If you are like most designers, you probably don’t write all your markup by hand. But until the tools you use catch up to the new elements in (X)HTML 5, you will be doing some markup by hand while you learn. There’s been [...]
hizook and google
Wednesday, September 2, 2009
I recently found out about Hizook – a robotics news aggregator.
I found out from this story that was posted to Hacker News. It seems that Google thought their traffic spike was anomalous, and disabled their Adsense account without warning.
Thankfully it was re-enabled a few days later, but it does undermine some confidence in Google’s claim [...]
engaged
Thursday, July 23, 2009
Last Friday night, on the Brooklyn Bridge, in the rain (sounds like the answer to Clue, doesn’t it?) I officially asked my girlfriend to marry me.
Me living in Singapore means that’ll not be as soon as either of us would prefer, but at least it’s in the works.
She told me the rest of the [...]
my new apartment
Tuesday, July 7, 2009
Tonight I get to do the “turnover” on my Singapore residence. That means one last going-over before I officially move in on 15 July.
Of course, on the 15th of July I won’t be in Singapore, so my helpful coworker whose wife is my apartment agent will be taking care of my keys whilst I am [...]
tokyo
Saturday, June 13, 2009
I’m sitting in Tokyo Narita airport right now.
My next stop will be my home for the next several months as I begin a job in Singapore with Barclay’s Capital Monday.
As of right now, I’ve added yet another two airports to my list, and have one more to go “today” – Dulles and Tokyo. Next up, [...]
denita smith, 1981-2007
As I mentioned a few days ago, I was a juror on a trial. That trial was the State of North Carolina vs Shannon Crawley in the unlawful death of Denita Smith on 04-Jan-2007.
Miss Smith’s fiancee, Jermier Stroud, was implicated by the defendant. Mr Stroud is a police officer in Greensboro. Under oath, and [...]
