This is my personal blog where I like to blog about technology and other interesting stuff in life.
Yes, that is right, this is Visual Studio 2008 running on my MacBook Pro within OS X. Today I ran across a blog that made mention of VMware Fusion. Until today if I wanted to develop in Visual Studio I had to use Boot Camp (Dual Boot) to boot into Windows XP and […]
I have had a couple of macs in the past, but somehow, I keep getting forced back to windows because most of the development I do is with .net. I have been eyeing a Macbook Pro for the last year and finally got one the other day. I have had it just a little over […]
Rumor has it that Visual Studio 2008 is going to be released by the end of the month. I have had it installed for some time now. I am very excited to start using it at work. Overall it seems much faster to run. I am also excited to start using all the new C# […]
Last month I went out to Colorado for a weekend Trip. I had a blast hanging out in Denver and driving out to Vail. Although, it felt very wrong going to be in Vail and not being skiing. I am pretty sure I will be out there before March though. You can see the pictures […]

Tonight I arrived in Washington DC to attend Agile 2007. I came out early to go site seeing tomorrow. I arrived at 6:30 and decided to get a head start. The first thing I notice when walking outside of the hotel was the license plates. Their slogan is, “Taxation Without Representation.” I thought something sounded odd […]
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 […]
The first three items in this list are services that we have become accustomed to having. Having to pay for theses service (besides taxes) or these institutions making a profit would be unfathomable.
