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.

Jodi went running this morning. She's out there now, getting fit. We both need it - we've been complaining of our lack of proper diet and exercise, and corrensponding lack of energy, for some time. My bike gets out of the shop today (after a much-needed tuneup) so I'm going to start riding again.

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):

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.

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:

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.

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

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

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.

(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. ;)

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...)
