It’s been a while since I’ve been to a restaurant worth writing about. Last night I finally found one again. To celebrate the two monthiversary of marrying my wife (since I had to miss the one month one with work travel), I decided to take her out to a nice place that wasn’t a chain [...]

I’ve started writing [simple] plugins for WordPress – the blogging tool I use to manage antipaucity.com. As I write more, if I think they’re worth sharing, I’ll write about them here. A full list will also be available at http://antipaucity.com/plugins.
On the 19th of June, I married my sweetheart. We then went on an awesome trip to the Williamsburg VA area. Like all vacations, that one was MUCH too short, but we had a blast. Now we’re sadly back to reality – work, grocery shopping, walking the dog.. but that’s cool because I’m spending this [...]
I had been playing with a fun stock market simulator/investing application on Facebook until yesterday. It was called kaching (now defunct). The authors decided to focus their efforts on their for-pay service, kaching.com, and drop the free app on facebook. That’s all well and good – folks making money does not bother me. What does [...]
About 2 years ago, I wrote about the problem of holding onto electronic stuff just because storage was cheap. It wasn’t until I met my fiancee that I realized I did the same thing with “real” stuff – holding onto it just because it was there. I’m no where near a candidate for Hoarding: Buried [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
