|bd| Homeschool Woes
Alas, school is starting soon, and I have more work this year than ever before. If you think homeschooling is easy, think again. I have to do English, Algebra 2, Chemistry, Consumer Math, Bible, History and Spanish. I strongly suspect my programming life is over for a good while.
Several …|bd| Going Home
After visiting both my grandparents, going to a wedding and summer camp, I am finally going home. Unfortunately, most of the summer is gone, but oh well. (Sorry but this will be a rather pessimistic blog.)
I said I would post an account of our trip with the pop-up camper, …|bd| 11 in a Pop-Up?
School is out, it was ~95°F today, and vacation is coming. Or rather, we are going, next Monday.
Our plan is to travel east from Idaho, USA to Ohio to see the family, and then meander back and do a bit or sightseeing. But the thing the makes this trip …|bd| Memorial Day
Today is Memorial Day, and also my sister Olivia's 4th birthday. She had a great day, and we had a little party and presents and such.
We also went to our local cemetery for Memorial Day ceremonies, and the speaker, retired Colonel Curtis Bower, delivered a great speech about our …|bd| Photography III
I got my RAM back, so now I am relaxing as I blissfully waste clock cycles on the shiny CrystalXP interface. It's a massive improvement over the standard XP look.
My brothers and I were hired this Saturday and the previous to do yard work for some friends with a …|bd| Patience and Sunlight
Ack! Wheeze! I am suffering from a terrible condition! I only have 256MB of RAM. The other 1G is in the mail, being RMA'ed. It is scheduled to arrive next Tuesday. To help alleviate the pain, I have turned off XP's Fisher Price interface, cursor shadows, fading menus, ect. Everything …
|bd| Photography II and Hacked!
Here is a second batch of photos. Most of these were taken last evening in the rain, so some have a lot of CCD noise.

A while back I promised to post some of my stock photography, and I finally got around to downloading and polishing some of them. I can't claim professional quality, but I think they are neat.

The purpose of this essay is to prove that saying "maybe" or "maybe not" is a lie if you know the correct answer. This only applies to questions with a boolean answer. This is intended primarily for my brother, who loves to annoy me with illogical word games. I realize …
|bd| I missed 1337
And I am not particularly sorry.
This week we had the Steve Pettit Team at our church. I thought I ran a nice sound system, but they brought in their own. I was very, very impressed. It was based around a rolling rack and an array of Bose speakers. The …
