I’m In the Paper!

Hey, look who was in Sunday’s issue of the Huntsville Times.

(Glenn Baeske of The Huntsville Times took that picture.)

The article touches on the Hermes system that we’ve been developing to help helicopters automatically pick up cargo and then guide them to the delivery point, which has a lot of potential applications for everything from medical [...]

We Live

Back in the US once more. Can’t talk. Tired and busy. I have a desk full of work. Eli has Kinder Egg toys. Liza has a fever. Misty has her hands full. More later.

Sales in Garages Continue to be Strong

Here’s the thing about garage sales: they make me slightly nervous.

It’s an opportunity cost thing. You don’t know what any given garage sale will be offering, and meanwhile the one thing that you’d really like, the single perfect item which you would buy if only it were right in front of you, is undoubtedly in [...]

Where to Reach Me Online

Thanks, Google Buzz. Without you, however would people reach me online?

Locations Versus People

It’s another one of those times where we’re buried in stuff to do, so here’s a realization I had a while back: thanks to cell phones, calling someone has changed from calling a location to calling that person specifically. Phones are no longer location-dependent, they’re people dependent. I can’t think of the last time I [...]

Happy New Decade!

We survived the wilds of Arkansas and have returned, busier than ever! We’ll have more to say later, including the thrilling story of The Return of Liza’s Poor Sleeping Habits (thankfully a one-night-only limited engagement) and Now Liza Opens Her Door in the Morning and Goes Roaming. While you wait, enjoy Peter Watt’s awesome fanfic [...]

Holiday Hiatus

We are off the Internets for 2009. Have a great holiday season, and we’ll see you in 2010.

Floating High Above the Sky

I’m traveling today and tomorrow to Mountain View, so no long posts from me! Instead, gaze upon Airship Ventures, which offers zeppelin tours of the SF bay area. I’ve seen them flying their dirigible previously when I’ve been out here in the Bay area, but I only recently learned that they’ll let you actually fly [...]

Misty Says “Woo!” Again

It’s a light posting week for us, seeing as how Misty’s gone to Atlanta to say “Woo!” at U2 in the Georgia Dome. I’m taking care of Eli and Liza, which is fun right up to the point when it isn’t any more. Given that Eli is living up to his reputation of petri dish [...]

Maybe They Meant a Chevy Suburban

A little over a week ago, we went back to Arkansas to have some time with my family. We stayed on Greers Ferry Lake, one of the several Arkansas lakes brought to you by your local Corps of Engineers and their dams. We visited, swam in the lake, and Andrew and I water-skied. For those [...]
