This site could really use some more contents or updates, or something. Well, let’s just go with the most “recent” update. I started to work a SnagAJob.com on Sept 14th as a Product Manager. I’m in Bizarro-Land. It’s commercial vs. government, 2-week sprints vs. one month, .Net vs. Java (NAnt? NHibernate? c’mon — these names aren’t very original), and in general, requirements and user story creation vs. build-it-run-it-test-it-deploy-it.
I haven’t decided how I feel about it yet. It is very very different from what I used to do, so let’s just leave it at that.
Aaron, Xandy and Neely are doing great. I’m still living in Charlottesville, VA. The commute isn’t the best, but others at work have a long commute, and they don’t complain so I don’t want to too much either.
My wedding site is up in a skeleton form, the big day is November 6th. I am gladly taking recommendations for photographers, but venue, caterer, and cupcake-maker are pretty much nailed down.

I wish I was awesome enough to work on this team: http://sites.google.com/a/pressatgoogle.com/googlewave/home. The demo on Chrome is another reminder how Google will eventually control the completely end-to-end internet experience.

This is a worthy subject of my first blog post in a long while. :)
Update: the Pegaus arrived today, which was really neat. I can say I was really surprised to see that the matte display does not have the shiny black bevel rim around the display like the glossy display. So, the picture they show on the apple store for the unibody 17″ can be misleading, if you choose the anti-glare display.
Instead, it’s a matte silver bevel, the same color as the rest of the computer except for a black rubber-y rim that surrounds the entire screen. That part is a bit …. interesting. I’m not sure I actually like it. But, then again, maybe it will grow on me.

This post is for Matt Derby, who says I never update. I don’t. It’ll always be the dream, though.

This past weekend was Wedding #1 in my Two Weeks Two Weddings extravaganza. Tim and Robin were married on 3rd November, 2007 at the Elkridge Furnace Inn in Maryland. Pictures can be found here.
Aaron was best man — his speech was, shall we say, ’short and sweet.’ The Inn was pretty nice, and I’ll have to say it was really awesome that the weather cooperated since this was (unknown to me!) an outdoor wedding! We stayed at the BWI Hilton, which was a nice hotel. An extra plus was that one of the channels on the TV was ESPN HD. This amused me greatly, as College Gameday was at Oregon and I swear you could see every bead of fog in the air.
Oh, right the wedding. :) It was really nice. Congratulations Tim and Robin!
