The company I’ve worked for since July of last year – Nasuni Corporation (a startup in Massachusetts) has gone live! This is the culmination of a lot of hard, but exceedingly fun and exciting work over the past months.
The Nasuni team is an excellent one – and one I am very, very proud to [...]
I don’t talk politics or current events here – mainly because I’d come off a a Lolbertarian whack-job, but I just had a serious “what in the crap?! moment when I checked my 401k:
Personal Rate of Return from 01/01/2008 to 10/09/2008 is -41.9%
This is one of the moments I look at my daughter and think [...]
For the past year I’ve had the exciting opportunity to be a father – it really is fantastic, especially now that new parts of her personality is coming through and she’s in the “crazy aboriginal where are your pants” stage.

In addition to the Python sprint day work I am doing (as well as pymag stuff) I’ve been editing the obligatory “zomg baby is walking” video, which is below.

Dear Previous House Owner,
The least you could have done is told me that anytime it rains, the nicely finished tiled basement area, the one holding my computers and livelihood floods. I realize, that had I known that the nicely finished basement with the tiled floor gets flooded every time it rains because of the half-assed [...]
I love making up words.
A recent post on the pycon blog has me rethinking using Twitter or Jaiku for “micro blogging” (especially during a con). I’ve personally not used either one of them, but my preference would be to try out the now-not-accepting-new-users Jaiku.
How many people out there in the #pythonweb are using these?
Edit: I’ve [...]
It’s been a nutty last few weeks. The work in the salt mines has been especially busy, and well – overly salty. Some would say it was too salty for consumption.
Wife, Baby and I are settled into the new place – yes, the various sundry problems including flooding, flooring, bathrooms and other cruft was resolved [...]

I’ve mentioned this before – on Jan 4th, I ended up closing on my first house. The primary driving force of course being my now nearly seven month old daughter, the secondary driving force is well – owning a house.
Both my wife and I were excited, ecstatic even. I mean, it’s not a palatial mansion [...]
Man. 2008 is already going sideways, in a good way. In this case – I knew it was coming, which is a good thing. Last Friday, I spent a chunk of time signing more paperwork than I’ve ever had to in my life, but walked away with the keys to my very own home.
Other people [...]
