I’ve had a SmartThings home automation system for about a year now. I liked the idea of being able to control my house from my phone, but I loved the idea of my house reacting to us and letting us know proactively about what’s going on. My then fiancée (now wife) and I bought smart […]

Smoothie Lessons: Episode 3
Thank goodness my wife was around tonight. I was convinced I destroyed my blender. Luckily, she showed me I was only panicking and the blender was fine. I did learn a valuable lesson though: Don’t allow your frozen fruit to wedge underneath the blender blades before turning it on. But with disaster averted, a brilliant […]

Smoothie Lessons: Episode 1
I’ve recently started making smoothies. As I’m want to do, I bought a blender with pretty good reviews and jumped headlong into the process figuring I would wing it.

Reminders From My Wife

Damn it, Leo!
Leo. Come on, man. I just bought my very first DSLR camera not 3 hours ago. I’ve been reading photography blogs and saved for months to buy this entry level camera. And I remember tonight that you, my hero, are into photography and that you host a show about it on your lovely TWiT network. […]
Engineers Are Funny
My team at work is having a team outing tomorrow, where we will all leave at lunch to go eat and bond over a round of disc golf. Typical team building exercise, I’m sure. Except we’re engineers. A quick conversation about where we should eat for lunch led to a list of about 10 possibilities […]
Science!
I was thinking back today and I remembered something totally awesome from my childhood. And by childhood I mean high school. When I was a freshman and sophomore, I volunteered for the summer science camp held at our middle school. It was some of the most fun I had in high school. We had various […]
