Get Well Chi
The week I was sick saw a few black marks on history - Michael Chriton Died of cancer and Chi Cheng, bassist for one of my favorite bands, was involved in a serious car accident.
“Chi is one of the strongest people I know, and I’m praying that his strength will get him through this,” Moreno [...]
F1 Overnight Challenge from Sierra Bravo Returns
Last year March, I participated in the F1 Overnight web challenge, a 24 hour+ programming comepetition to benefit Minnesota non-profits hosted by Sierra Bravo. My team had the pleasure of working with REDA (Riverview Economic Development Association). It was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to doing it again this year. Registration [...]

Reichelt was an Austrian tailor that was only famous for the manner in which he died - he leaped from the Eiffel Tower demonstrating his jacket, which is somewhat like the modern day parachute suits. However, they really [...]
Interesting Ideas : Documentary Hypothesis
Last night before bed, I conducted in my not-unusual practice of ODing on Wikipedia. I don’t know where I started nor where I ended, but somewhere in between, I got on to reading about the Old Testament of the Bible. I am in no way shape or form a biblical scholar, nor do I aim [...]
