Now that 2010 is completely over, I thought it would be fun to look back on the gadgets that meant the most to me over the past year. I’m leaving off the Cr-48 I received last week from Google (too new) and my Ubuntu server, which I rebuilt into a very useful media center backend [...]

My Ubuntu Server rebuild is basically complete. I’ve been writing tutorials for each service or program I’ve installed. I plan to post them all soon, linked together in a “how to set up Ubuntu as a media server back-end” series. I’m still testing things out and tweaking my configurations. Once that is complete, I will [...]
My wife and I loved the museums in Paris. The Musée d’Orsay, with its large collection of Impressionist paintings, was our favorite, but the Louvre was the most magnificent, as anyone would expect. Surprisingly, the Louvre was also the only museum we’d been to there that allowed photography inside. For that reason, we have a [...]
My wife and I enjoyed five days in Paris at the end of our honeymoon. Paris was swelteringly hot, because we arrived in the middle of a heat wave that the locals assured us was quite unusual. We were surprised by the pollution (all the cars, mopeds, and smokers really add up) and the how far apart [...]
Two of the most fun days of our honeymoon were our visit to Stratford-upon-Avon. We came to visit Shakespeare’s birthplace and see “Antony and Cleopatra” at the Royal Shakespeare Company. Stratford-upon-Avon is kind of a tourist trap, but it is nice. We saw an open-air market, had some great tea, fish & chips, and the [...]
Regent’s Park was one of our favorite stops on our honeymoon. The flowers are beautiful and plentiful.

My wife and I just bought our first house, and have spent the last few weeks packing, moving, unpacking, and even cleaning an inordinate amount. I haven’t been posting to this blog, but I will get back to it as soon as we are settled in. We finally got Verizon FIOS installed earlier this week, [...]
This is our cat, Ruby. Allyson’s students have sort of an obsession with her, and like to draw her picture on Allyson’s board while she teaches.
Ruby likes to lay on her back and look up at us, which is hilarious and cute. This is it, folks. Enjoy!
