Gilbert (our fair city) is getting it's first rain in 6 months this evening! Jodi and I went out and stood in the street in our bare feet under an umbrella and simply loved it. What a feeling.

Dave McCusker got himself a shiny new TiBook a little bit ago, and is learning the pleasures of Mac OS X. I love seeing someone "get it" (no matter what they're "getting"). What a cool thing.

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:

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.

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).

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.

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

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...)
