Why is it that whenever I work at a company that gives me stock options, the stock price immediately sinks below the strike price of those options? And then when it turns around and heads up, the price has great resistance at exactly my strike price? Murphy’s Law, I guess. I’ve got some options at… Continue reading stock options

Oh, and I was going to mention my disappointment at two facts I learned this weekend. First, the Pappadeaux’s restaurant in Westminster, which was originally scheduled to open in Q1 of 2006, is late. According to the manager of their other store, it’s more likely to open in July or August. Second, I’d heard that… Continue reading two things that are late

It’s a glorious Monday morning, and we’ve had a busy weekend. Beth had fight class, of course, Friday night. Then Saturday we got up extra early and drove down to Denver to a particular house across the street from a park where a rare bird had been spotted. Beth was lucky enough to spot this… Continue reading lots of stuff this weekend

I just finished my 2nd week of physical therapy. My leg is getting stronger and more flexible, but the therapist said I’m not ready to give up my one crutch just yet.

Here’s what I wrote to offer to Intuit as feedback. Unfortunately, their feedback form was apparently designed to only accept a much smaller amount of… Continue reading Infuriatingly Bad Tax Software and Tech Support

I had a good week. I got to do lots of cool stuff at work, and now it’s the weekend. There’s not much new to report on my knee surgery recovery. I’m still on crutches. Next week I go in for my 2nd followup appointment, and hopefully they’ll say I can start weaning off the… Continue reading Saturday – hurray!

This is so cool! I had no idea that there was such thing as a client-only wiki. My experience has always been with wikis being server software. Mind blowingly awesome. I’m going to start using the Ten Foot Wiki for a future D&D game that I’ll run for my friends.

Strange, but I’ve sort of measured my life the past couple weeks from the perspective of how my recovery from knee surgery is going. I guess that’s because I haven’t been able to really get out and do too much. It’s something of an undertaking just to go out to dinner or to see a… Continue reading Update on my knee surgery recovery
