This Is Not The Blog You're Looking For

It's Pinewood Derby Time!

2009-04-10T06:40:09Z

When I was about my son's age, I was in Cub Scouts. One of the things you inevitably do in Cub Scouts is build a Pinewood Derby car. Or, rather, your father mostly builds it.  My son is not in Cub Scouts, but we are doing something similar through...

They Don't Make Them Like They Used To

The State Of My Work

2008-10-09T08:24:01Z

As I know I've mentioned on phoneboy.com, Nokia is selling off the part of the company I work for to a financial investor of some sort. Who knows who it is--they won't tell us until the deal is done. Right now, the trick is staying busy, not worr...
