I received my shiny, new iPhone 4 a couple of weeks ago – nearly a month after I ordered it. It’s a real beauty, but with glass on both sides, it definitely requires protection from a fall.

Moments ago, I stumbled upon a case study that I helped write on a project in which I was the programmer (Brian Miller was the engineer and Trey Mayfield was the project manager). This was my flagship project during my nearly four years at Ener-Tel, and the one I’m most proud of. This was due [...]

My first few days here in Qatar have been rather uneventful. I arrive here Thursday evening, but I haven’t been able to start work because I was not able to get a CAC card (basically, a military ID card) while in Tampa last week. Also, there seems to be a minor issue with my security [...]

It just occurred to me that you may not already know this: I bought a video camera to take with me to Qatar, and I will be uploading my videos to YouTube for you to see. I’ve had a YouTube account for a while, actually, but never really got into uploading videos. But I definitely [...]
