A study in contrasts

We’re not sure that we have much to say about these articles except that we think that you should read them, all of them.

Go ahead and click, we’ll wait.  They’re worth the read.

From famine to feast in one week

After not having a lot of luck in the job search for most of December and January, suddenly both of us have a whole bunch of interviews.  Both of us have already had phone interviews this week, and I have a face-to-face interview Friday.  Kelly is having an interview right now (if it hasn’t ended yet).  So we are hopeful that something good will come out of this, preferably with at least one of us getting a full-time job with benefits.   We are optimistic.

And as a bonus, a friend of ours has also possibly found a dream job and is in the process of applying.  So maybe things are finally turning around?  I hope I am not jinxing us.

A night at the Symphony

Last night we were fortunate enough to get tickets to the BSO, thanks to friends who gave us their tickets.  The performance featured music by Felix Mendelssohn, a 19th century composer who died young but still managed to accomplish much.  He is of course most famous for his wedding march but he also wrote operas, symphonies, piano quartets, and other pieces.

We had to rush a bit because of Kelly getting held up at work but we made up for lost time and even managed to find an awesome parking spot right around the corner from the Hall.  We got inside with a little bit of time to spare and so we looked around for Jen and Greg (the couple who gave us the tickets) and found them almost by accident.  After briefly talking with them (and with another couple Kelly knew) we headed up to our seats.

Read this and earn a million dollars! No real effort required!

Just kidding.  We haven’t been hacked or anything, I just wanted to get your attention and make a point at the same time.  Friends and family, I have been meaning to do this for a while and just haven’t gotten around to it.  I have wanted to sit everyone down, so to speak, and have a little chat regarding safe behaviors on the Internet.   Some of you may need this more than others, to be frank.

And this is a long post, yes.  But if you are one of the people who ask me for computer advice, especially IT security advice, do me (and yourself) a favor and READ ALL OF THIS because the odds are good I will be sending you here to read this the next time you have a problem.

Wedding shopping – not mine!

Last month our dear friends Teri and Patricio got engaged.  I’d actually cornered Patricio at my wedding and asked him when he and Teri were going to get engaged.  I think they’ve been together for approximately 6 centuries now and it was getting harder and harder for me not to refer to them as betrothed.
