I wanted to take the opportunity to thank Brendan, and the gang here for all the good times. It's been a great opportunity. I decided with much fear and consideration to set up my own closed blogging community site. I have recently set up my own community blogging site at TheRuntime.com . If you...

I write this post with a mix of excitement and sadness. The exciting part is that I am helping form a new developer community site at http://www.TheRuntime.com . The sad part is that I will no longer be blogging at Codebetter. When Codebetter was first formed, myself and several other bloggers from DotNetJunkies...

Anyone heading out to Mix this year? I'll be there once again, but this time I'll be (partly) working the Coding4Fun booth. We should have a few interesting toys to entertain the masses between sessions. Stop by and throw a Wiimote at my head or something. Cross-posted from BrianPeek.com .

Simple rant, nothing more. Just sent in some immigration papers for my wife, who is a Swedish citizen who came here when we got married. The paperwork carried a $275 processing fee. This brings the total since she came here two years ago to be well over $2,000 plus the time we had to spend apart while...

This viral tagging thing must be almost burned out since it finally got down to little old me. 5 things you don't know about me: I would actually leave development and become a science and tech teacher if there was any money in it (there isn't). I dyed my hair green in college, got a tattoo of...

Peter tagged me a few days ago, and I haven’t had a chance to respond. So here goes… 5 things you don’t know about me (do you really want to know this?) I not only write code, but music although I’m not coordinated enough to really play an instrument although I think I have a...

So I finally relinquished my 19" sony trinitron CRT monitor and upgraded to the Samsung SyncMaster 225BW LCD which is a 22 inch widescreen which I picked up from newegg on their daily specials last week for $376.
