The datacenter at RIT went dark today. A complete power loss. We are still in the midsts of it, but even with the off site DNS servers, they can’t really handle the load of everyone switching to them at once.
People lost it when their internet stopped working because with the domain controllers down [...]

Last night I finally stained my entertainment center. Kevin has done an awesome job building it, and last night we decided that I could say I helped make it because I paid for it and helped a little.

Today is my brother’s wedding.
His fiancé started crying at the rehearsal dinner and I was all “awww”
The ceremony is at 2pm and at some point after that I have to give a best man speech. I pretend to be confident and outgoing, but I am totally nervous. And I’m not supposed to drink [...]

I went to PA for the weekend.  Kevin and I had waffles Friday morning, then I got around to leaving at 11ish.  The drive home was mostly uneventful, there was light rain almost the whole way.
About a mile north of PA traffic came to a sudden halt.  We sat there for a while; I even [...]

Driving to work today, I see a guy walking [...]
