This is my personal blog where I like to blog about technology and other interesting stuff in life.

Often, in Agile Software Development, teams practice continuous integration(CI). Often one person becomes the guru regarding CI and is referred to as the Build […]
This past weekend I had my first and last Apple River experience. I had a pretty decent time, however I don’t think I will do it again. We went very early in the year so it was pretty cold and there were hardly any people there. From the stories I hear of people’s past experiences […]
