  • New Project

    I haven’t yet had any responses to my job applications at universities, but when I contacted my old friends at OutsourceiT in Denver they had a project for me. I’ll be adding some features to the University of Colorado’s Center for Computational Biology website. They want features like user logins, mailing lists, and news items…

  • We Go

    The time for planning is over, and the time to act has arrived. Today we tried to accomplish all our leftover tasks in downtown Denver without the car, which we left with Sarah yesterday. We acquired some books to read, replaced lost sunglasses, bought more waterproof bags, suspended the car insurance, printed our itinerary, and…

  • Ann’s announcement

    Today Ann sent this off, her first mass-email: Dear Friends and Family: Many of you know by now that my (newish) husband Dylan and I will be launching off shortly on our delayed honeymoon: On April 18th we will be dropped off on the Mexico/New Mexico border from where we plan to walk north, staying…

  • Entropy precedes motion

    Some things go in boxes, and some stay out. Some services end today, and some tomorrow. Some things are put in piles, then migrate to other piles. Each pile makes sense on its own, when you make it, but all together they look more like an abstract painting and give little indication that on Sunday…

  • Wedding photos are up

    At last, the rest of the wedding pictures have been posted in the wedding area. For the families involved there are some gems. I admit I’ve omitted some of the blurry ones, and a few unbelievably dorky shots. (Of course, those would be the most fun to look at, wouldn’t they? Maybe I’d post them…

  • Half Anniversary

    We figure we may be on the Continental Divide on August 2nd, so today seemed like a good day to bust the wedding cake out of the freezer. The cake is still quite good, and there’s a perfect amount for Ann, Anabel, and me. The marriage is still quite good too, and getting better.

  • Preparing for the Continental Divide

    Apr 2011 Update: This is part of my journal of a 2004 CDT hike. You’re welcome here, and there are some planning resources, but if you’re looking for maps I recommend you visit Jonathan Ley. I did collect a track of the CDT in Wyoming in 2009, which I later added to Open Street Map,…

  • Off to work?!?

    I was supposed to be unemployed again today, but at the last minute yesterday my customer scraped up some more money and asked me to stay. This is good, but Ann and I had both gotten excited to explore the coming freedom, and it was a shock to have to suddenly give that up. Unemployment…

  • jobless again!

    Even though I’m married now, I’m in a better position than I was last time I faced unemployment, so we’re not likely to face homelessness in the near future. Still, the project I was working on was slated for another year, and its cancellation is a bit awkward. Most likely I will be at work…

  • More Wedding Pictures In

    Tom and Annette DeMay gave us their set of pictures, including the first of the ceremony. Nathan posted the first gallery of his color photos also, which will soon be duplicated along with many more on our wedding page.
