Monkinetic Weblog

From an infertility board I came across (the web is funny like that) (The question is about alcohol affecting infertility treatments, the doctor's response is below):

I'm headed up north to Flagstaff today with a friend of mine - he's getting the final piece of a set of tatoos that cover his whole upper right arm. Dustin is, literally now, a "piece of work". -)

I don't want to jinx anything, but here's a clue:

Jodi and I went to the central Phoenix Library today, to pick up several books. We left with the two I needed, plus one other of interest: That Same Flower, by Jostein Gaarder (review).

Hehe. Jodi has never seen Spaceballs, and it just came on TBS. Fun!

This has been blogged a number of other places, but I just got around to reading it and you should too.

I got my first gift via my Amazon wishlist today!

Jodi and I are watching an all-star cast in Cradle Will Rock.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am now available for Java/WebObjects work. I also have some experience in J2EE/Servlets, and a degree in Graphic Design. I've been developing websites in a number of environments since 1996, and have worked with clients to help them define their needs and requirements.

Found here.

Check it out.

Would you imbibe hot caffeinated beverages from a mug bearing... this?

When it's 112&degree out, less is more...

(Thanks Doc!) Meet MEETUP, the site that lets you arrange meetups with like-minded people in your area. There's a weblogger meetup group, too. ;)

Eclipse 2.0 has been released. Eclipse is a Meta-IDE, an integrated development environment for programmers that can be configured to work with most any language/runtime. You can download 2.0 here, but I'm wondering what would need to be done to get a copy running on Mac OS X. There are Win32 and native X Windows versions... but it seems there's no (at elast) Pure Java version.

We went hiking at South Mountain last weekend, and we saw this guy on his mountain-bike-unicycle. He rides the trails over South Mountain just like the other (seemingly thousands) of cyclists. Nuts. Just plain nuts. I can't imagine the strength or balance required for this.

Jodi and I went bowling last night with a bunch of friends from church. Neither of us had been bowling since junior high, so we were abit rusty. I think my three games were 84, 98, and 102. Ouch. But - we had a blast! Hanging out with friends, having a great time, it was all a Friday night should be. I managed a couple strikes, completely by luck I'm sure! Jodi got one or two as well, and we both had (more than) our fair share of gutterballs! Thank goodness we were with friends! -)

I finally set up my wishlist at Amazon. If you'd like to make me real happy, pick something from that list! :)

Brent is thinking about creating a mailing list for Mac OS X application developers who are working in the area of webservices, specifically desktop apps for web services. I think this is a great idea, and will help show others what a great platform Mac OS X is!

I finally got around to switching the rest of this site over to the CSS-based them I use on the homepage (blog). I believe it loads a bit faster now, too. (Check one more thing off my redmonk TODO list...)
