How she works
One point of friction between myself and Sarah is that we have a really, really hard time communicating. I mean, it doesn’t help that women are elaborate enigmas, and as men we are Astonishingly Dense. Gentlemen, tell me if you’ve ever heard the following from your ladies:
You just don’t get me.
I wanted you to listen and […]

On stress, work and the such.
In the midst of the craziness of I’m realizing that I need better boundaries. Do I really want to be that dad that doesn’t know his kids because he’s pulling late hours at the office?

Incompetence and me
So I’m cutting my hair on Sunday–no big deal, right? I’ve been cutting my hair for the past eleven years (one mirror, one trimmer and nerves of steel) to varying degrees of success.

This is what work is like.
Man. Where to even start?
I started working at Riverbed about three months ago. Three months! Time does fly.
What do you do? I’m a User Interface Developer with them, where I design the management interface to the Steelhead, their WAN acceleration product. What this means in plain English is that I design the look and feel of the […]
