Basement Plumbing Problems

By • Jun 18th, 2008 • Category: Uncategorized

If you haven’t already heard me or Laura say it on twitter, we are currently working on fixing our laundry room because we are having issues with the plumbing. We went to Overland Park for Father’s Day but first found out our washing machine leaked everywhere the night before. Last night we discovered the leak […]



Birt the puppy

By • Jun 10th, 2008 • Category: Uncategorized

I came home today to find we now have a new puppy. Laura decided to adopt her friend’s dog to save her friend from being evicted or some nonsense like that. (Stupid friend.) To make a long story short, Birt (female) is now the newest member of our family. She is a chihuahua-fox terrier mix. […]



Evil Work Project

By • Jun 5th, 2008 • Category: Uncategorized

Recently at work I’ve been working on a top secret “evil project” that I’m about to unveil upon everyone over the next few days. I call it evil because it collects data from just about everywhere it is available within the organization and spits it out to all the sales, marketing, engineering, and management people […]



Brief Site Outage

By • May 26th, 2008 • Category: Uncategorized

Our websites took a short break over the weekend while I made some structural changes to make them easier to maintain. Previously we ran each of our blogs on its own database and its own installation of WordPress (the world’s greatest open source blogging system) which was working just fine, but took a ton of […]



More pictures of my adorable kid

By • May 12th, 2008 • Category: Uncategorized

Either I am tired or have no creativity left after working from Chicago all last week. I can’t think of anything to say except that we made more coffee beer tonight (read Coffee Beer [Brew 5] on BEER dad) and have the most adorable baby you would ever see. I had an ok time in […]

If you are in Wichita or at least nearby, you are welcome to come see Kaden any time. If not, we will be in Overland Park for a little while on the 26th. He took his first ride in the new stroller today and has made several trips with us to the store.



What to put on a small business website

By • Apr 13th, 2008 • Category: Uncategorized

Last time I wrote about finding a professional domain name for your small business, but failed to mention what you should put on it once you have one. To most people – myself included – coming up with the domain name and running the business is the easy part – it’s figuring out what to […]



Search Engine Marketing is Easy

By • Apr 10th, 2008 • Category: Uncategorized

I haven’t been able to mention anything about the baby recently because we’ve been so busy. When I’m not at home I have been busy at work too. Kaden is home now and is doing fine. We had to stay a night at the hospital last Monday so we could bring him home. He had […]
