  • Credit Card “Convenience” Fees

    You ever have those nights where you just don’t feel like cooking even though you have plenty of food in the fridge? Yeah, that was us last night. We ended up heading out to Gallo’s Tap Room for dinner. The place wasn’t crowded despite it being 6pm. The patio had plenty of spots, so we…

  • Meet Koda

    We adopted a baby pupper! He’s something akin to a murder floof, or so the scary things you’d read about on the interwebz or hear about on TikTok would have you believe. Maligator, vicious, bitey demon, fur missile, etc. Some of those may be partly true. 😅 He’s got a little mouth full of razor…

  • New Keyboard

    Earlier this week we had to get my partner a new keyboard and mouse setup – so we hopped across the road to Microcenter together. I should have known better. I can’t step foot in that store without getting something… and of course it’s something I don’t really need. I ended up with an ROG…

  • Nope.

    You can shove the “payment method ownership” excuse up your ass, Poshmark. This little stunt right here is a blatant grab made to hoover up personal information that is both unnecessary and dangerous to consumers. What a scam! For being a clothing platform, your site sucks. You know it’s bad when even eBay is better!…

  • New Bike Day! 🚲

    While we were in Germany earlier this month, my friend (and coworker) John talked me into buying a new bike. John’s a badass… no shit, like the kind that competes in triathlons, Iron Man challenges, etc. So when he said “buy this bike” I bought the bike he said to get. 🤣 Parts of the…

  • Azure Cloud Challenge: Lime Survey

    Last week I worked with a team in Germany to deliver an Azure Hackathon. During the hackathon, we decided to create a cloud challenge for the team to work through. These challenges are difficult and require independent critical thinking. The requirements below were developed with the attendees, after which we worked at the whiteboard to…

  • Mother’s Day Blast From the Past

    Firstly: Happy Mother’s Day to all you Moms out there. While visiting my Mother today she unloaded what amounted to a time capsule into my car! She had three big totes of stuff from as long ago as my first baby shoes to as recent as High School graduation. I’m so tickled she kept all…

  • Aquarium Stock List

    I have a 120 gallon tank in my office and these are the inhabitants, past and present. I’ve also included potential additions. Before you flame me, know that they’re only fish that I think are attractive and will likely get along in the existing community based on research of behaviors. I am aware of their…

  • When you’re in “Columbus,” but not in Ohio…

    Had to take a work trip this week. This thought made me chuckle. Standing in Columbus Circle, facing Deutsch Bank Center in Manhattan, New York City.

  • Adult onset allergies suck

    I’m becoming increasingly allergic to my cats. They’re perfect – they’re the kind of cats that non-cat people and cat people alike dream about owning. They want cuddles, they seek out attention, they’re playful and fun. I adore them… but it seems as if I’m becoming more allergic by the day. Tonight I laid on…
