My Latest Project

Thursday, May 27th, 2004

Well, I have yet another woodwork-oriented project going on. I decided to create a shelving area in the home office after seeing a similar project on TLC's Cleansweep program. I could never figure out how to best use the space in the office, and decided to create a shelving area that wrapped around the corner of the room and put a nice table top on it. Below are images of this work-in-progress. The oval hole you see is cut especially for my paper shredder to sit in. A pretty good fit if I say so myself.

Done with Algorithms!

Monday, May 3rd, 2004

Today, I took my final for my Algorithms class. I feel free, and light, and blissful. The best part of school is when it's over. Of course, I'll be taking a class this summer. Hopefully, I will finish up this fall and have my Master's. I like learning, but I think I'm tired of school…seems kinda pointless and arbitrary. Basically if you jump through X number of hoops, you get a piece of paper….”woo”, and might I add, “hoo”. But these pieces of paper are what I'm counting on for a fall back career. I plan to teach on the side for a bit and likely will teach as my primary job once I retire or feel the need to move on. But with government positions and associated benefits, I have little desire to move on any time soon. Anyways, I took my final….it sucked….I think I did well enough to pass….go me!!!
