Lady: I don’t want to leave Ohio. It reminds me a bit of Texas except it’s colder.
Wow.

Here’s a little write up describing design techniques that we probably all take for granted.

No commentsDearest Readers,
I want to vamp up two sections of this website. The first is ‘favorite posts.’ If you look at the bar on the left and scroll down you’ll come to a list of favorite posts. Do any of you have any favorite posts that you think I should include in the list?
The second section is the About me page. Right now it’s passable, but not awesome. It definitely needs new photos. Any other suggestions?
Rock,
Mike D.

No commentsI’ve arrived safely in Texas (pronounce “Tejas!”). Things here are just as I left them: uncomfortably large and hot.
The good news is that my hotel is fantastic. The Fitness center is A+ and the business center has a print of Picasso’s “violin and guitar” on the wall (a personal fav).
I will do what I can to continue updating semi-regularly.
Authored by: mike d.Today, I am heading to Texas for business.
I will be in the Longview area, so if you’re a Texas native feel free to fire me over an e-mail. We’ll grab some dinner. I will be there until Friday, and I will do my best to eat as much steak as possible. I will likely have some internet access and I’ve already AUTO-POSTED this week’s Feature section.
UPDATE:
Jesse is engaged to Holy Cross Alicia.
Here’s the story:
It was the summer of 2001. As a leading dude at WPI’s Newman club, I was invited by Father Scanlon to attend a silent retreat in Naragansett, RI. A silent retreat is a retreat where no one is allowed to talk. It’s a time when you can think and be pensive and reflect on your life. I was the only non-Holy Cross student to attend. Upon arriving, the first two people I met were Holy Cross Alicia and Holy Cross Theresa. This was especially odd to me because my dear sisters are named Alicia and Theresa.
The week went well and despite not being able to speak, I felt by the end that I had friends in the Holy Cross folk. After the event H.C. Alicia and H.C. Theresa made frequent appearances at our WPI appartment.
The following spring I went away to Denmark. When I returned, Jesse and H.C. Alicia were coupled.
time passes
Last weekend Jesse went up to Maine where H.C. Alicia just started medical school. On the way to a restaurant, H.C. Alicia’s car broke down. A tow truck was called. In the cab H.C. Alicia commented that she was having a good time because although the car had broken down she was able to spend time with her fat loving boyfriend (awwwww).
A short while later, H.C. Alicia turned to Jesse and asked “you want to get married?” Jesse said “yeah, I do.”
Jesse has asked me to post this story to provide proof to the generations to come that Jesse did not force H.C. Alicia to marry him. That it was her idea and that he is not responsible for the mayhem that will likely follow their union.
Congratulations Jesse & H.C. Alicia. I wish you many years of Rockstar lifestyles.
Authored by: mike d.Despite my best efforts last week, the skyline and satellite image were correctly identified.
Great job to Jes, Bisol, and Caitlin. Jes and Bisol recognized hints of the Montreal skyline and Caitlin picked up on Copenhagen. Great job guys!!
Here’s this week’s challenge!
The Skyline!
The Satellite Image!
1) identify the skyline
2) determine if the satellite image is of the same location
3) if not, determine the location of the satellite image
Good luck!
