MCP Achieved

April 30, 2005

This past week, it became necessary to expedite that which I had already begun to do, if only a little. It became necessary to get an Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) exam in a hurry — as in, this weekend.
So I have spent most of the past few days cramming for the exam. The trick is [...]

My Platform

April 28, 2005

As most of you know, I tend to be a moderate conservative – if you had to narrow it down to two words – but even that doesn’t describe me. My approach to life is that of personal and fiscal responsibility, moral absolutes and social perspective. People have tried to nail me down to an [...]

The Cardin Monologues

April 25, 2005

I’m not sure what relevance this has to anyone outside of Maryland except for the fact that it has to do with a up and coming major campaign for the U.S. Senate.
Here in Maryland, we’ve been cursed with the eternal Senatorial existence of two Senators, Sen. Barbara Mikulski and Sen. Paul Sarbanes. Mikulski has [...]

Secretary of State Aaron Brazell

April 25, 2005

How’s this one for an honorable mention? Jeremy, over at Ensight picked me as the Secretary of State for the Blogosphere Heads of State.
Wow.
Who woulda thunk it.
This is what he had to say about me:
Few people have a better appreciation for where the American people are at as a nation as well as as a [...]

Wittling Away

April 24, 2005

I’ve taken the past semester off from school as I’ve gotten very close to reaching the 2-year degree mark and heading off into the 4-year degree. When you get as close as I am, you have to get selective in what you take and when you work full time, it becomes even more critical to [...]

Somethings I’m Beginning to Hate

April 24, 2005

After spending much of the weekend trying to knock out a site redesign for a client, I’ve found myself hating two things I’ve never actually hated before.
I hate CSS. Yes, I hate how it’s so easy to do everything and lay pages out except that it’s so damn complicated. I hate child selectors and star [...]

Blogging Draft Day – First Round

April 23, 2005

Today is the big NFL Draft kickoff! I must admit, I am watching the whole thing. It can be very slow but lots of analysis, insight and most of all good talent.

The San Francisco 49ers had the number one pick and drafted University of Utah quarterback Alex Smith – not surprising. This kid is only [...]

Presidential Legacies

April 22, 2005

It’s been awhile since I blogged anything political. There has been no shortage of things I could be writing about: The role of the new Pope in the international world, and a nomination of Pope Bono I, the Republican Senate invoking the “nuclear option” on fillibuster rules to allow Bush’s judicial apointees to get a [...]

Dave Matthews in Virginia Beach

April 22, 2005

Today was payday which meant today was the day to buy my Dave Matthews Band tickets. So I went online to buy tickets for the Camden, New Jersey show and they were sold out. Funny, because I checked with Ticketmaster this afternoon and still had tickets available. I was supposed to meet my brother there, [...]
