Herndon is getting really huge (~1.5″ each) flakes of light, fluffy, perfect for snowmen and snowballs, snow. It is coming down thick enough that I cannot see the other side of the toll road from my employer’s 7th floor plate glass windows that over look the toll road directly. A lunch time drive to one […]
For the last few years I have always wanted something that was shown at Macworld San Francisco by Apple. Last year it was the Apple TV that lets me watch internet content on my big screen television from my comfy chair.

Here are the remaining issues: 1) Plucker Desktop 1.6.0.1 (yeah, no one has touched the Mac version since 2003!) has a bug […]
After a major setback last night (the first sump tank leaked), we have a new sump tank in place and the plumbing is working perfectly in the new 120 gallon tank. I set up the Tek T5 lights and got them on a timer too. It is starting to look nice. The new sump was […]
