Thanks to Plaintxt.org for the new template “Sandbox” [link]
I will be using this as my base template as I dive deeper into the semantic web, I will be adding dojo framework to this template and then expanding to a nice design
But for now its plain text FTW!
After watching the rain come in on the radar I started to look for a new Umbrella.
I was going to get a Pink Senz [Senz] but I’m not sure I’m ready for that much PINK.
I also looked at getting a Samurai Sword Umbrella [Think Geek] incase Ninja’s jump me on the LightRail
following the suggestion of JonC and the walk in the rain from the LRT to Jeep
I opted for the LED Umbrella [ Think Geek]
Early in the 21st Century, the Tyrell Corporation advanced robot evolution into the Nexus phase - a being virtually identical to a human - known as a Replicant. They’re all around you, even now. That guy next to you? He’s a Replicant. How do we know? He’s walking the streets in the rain with no umbrella. That, and he failed the Voight-Kampff.
In the pre-apocalyptic future, the air will be so thick, it will be dark in the middle of the day. Coupled with the almost constant rain, you’ll need to find a way to stay dry, and light your way to the noodle shop down the street.
Even if you don’t live in a quasi-futuristic Los Angeles, and aren’t a Blade Runner, you can still have the coolest umbrella on the street. With a push of a button, the shaft lights up, illuminating you and your path. Now, even in the darkest of nights, you’re a lot more visible to the cars on the street, making your long walk home through the rain a lot safer.
The New Gig, I am super excited to be the primary User Interface Developer for hazard track SaaS application.
About Hazard Track
HazardTrack™ is an advocate for the public interest. We help organizations manage safety recalls and alerts effectively, reducing risks to consumer health and safety. We provide enterprise-wide visibility to information that is required to track and mitigate risk within and across organizations.
I will be working with 2 briliant java developers to revamp the current applcation interface, I’m super excited to be able to expand my skills into the Information Architect yet still being able code.
I never felt I had the ability to really have an impact on the way users interacted with a products, the start up environment here is perfect for this. I can set up a prototype, pitch it, Implement it & get feedback.
With the office being downtown I get to ride the LRT to work, Its a perfect way to get down town from Eagan. I ride my bike to the 50th st/Hiawatha Avenue transit station or drive to the Fort Snelling Park & Ride.
I’m really happy to be working again, I’m super stoked to be working for hazard track and excited to see what we can build together!
I got the bug to play around with Twitter Api [twitter] so I came up with the idea of lottery numbers over twitter.
This gives me some thing to do in between looking for work, interviewing, house work and making sure Becca is happy.
Its also a good place for me to learn new technologys and a showcase some of my work
So here it is http://lotomoto.info, its still under active development, I have a good lock data acquisition bug that pop’d up last week.
If you have twitter and want the numbers give it a try!
Becca & I Picked up some flooring from Ikea for the basment and livingroom, We got around to installing it this weekend.
For me this was my first experience working with Ikea Tundra Flooring, It works really well. It took about 2 rows before Becca and I really got the best way to install the click lock system.
Based on install alone, the Tundra flooring is mid quality flooring. I assume like other laminate you must be careful not chipping the corners when installing.
I have a few minor chips and scratches. Most you can not see unless your on about 2 feet from the chip looking at it after you just nicked the floor.
Tundra flooring comes with a 15 year warranty, We will see how it stands up to the test of time.
Well Leave it to Ikea to throw a wrench into my weekend plans flooring is on sale
Greg moved out 2 weeks ago, time to unwind before Rebecca moves in.
This weekend I should be installing about a foot of GreenFiber Natural Fiber Blow-In Insulation into my attic
This should keep down the 200 + gas bill over this winter
Pictures to come
