  • Movie: Heathers

    This movie has only gotten better, and maybe more disturbing, since it was released in 1989. Since then Columbine and other high school killings have made this kind of satire even more taboo. And it is unnerving to wonder if the perpetrators of those attrocities found inspiration in the trenchcoat-clad Christian Slater character. Still, the…

  • CCB website goes live with TYPO3

    After sitting on it for a while, the Center for Computational Biology at the University of Colorado has gone live with the website I built for them. I reused the graphics from their previous website, but migrated the whole thing to the TYPO3 content management system, adding WYSIWYG editing, user registration, a multiple mailing list…

  • Happy Birthday Ann

    Ann’s birthday is this week, and my dad came up on Saturday for a little celebration. Ann’s friend Ronda is hosting another party in Fort Collins this weekend (popular girl!) – write if you want to come!

  • New Job – I Can’t Refuse

    It’s been a tough decision, but I’ve decided to take a new job. A big internet marketing firm in the area found an old resume of mine on monster.com, looked over the hobolog, and called me with a job offer to replace their recently departed Chief Technology Officer. I’m not really looking forward to putting…
