The other day we noticed our lights at the office flicker and the facilities people at the datacenter logged a brief voltage sag. It turns out there was a guy in east Austin who broke into an Austin Energy substation to steal copper wiring. Several articles report he got into live conductors, was hit with […]

In a fit of boredom I cleaned off my desk in my bedroom and migrated the Mac from the kitchen counter to it. While I’m still sitting here squandering life away, it feels a lot more productive. I think this is because this is how I started off spending my 20s, sitting at a desk […]

Family tree

Meanwhile, Michelle tells me it’s 27 in Bartlesville, they have ice and now a thunderstorm. Alex has been working on his and Victoria’s family trees and has been able to trace Victoria […]
