Better Marriage Planning Through Technology

I’m getting married on August 16th.  And while I’m running around like a crazy person, I’ve found some tools that make things a lot easier for us to keep somewhat organized.  I’m not talking about marriage websites like theknot.com or similar.

Hardcore Tips For Home Security

I though I was good about keeping my house in order when I went away for vacation.  Apparently I’ve been slacking.  ISECOM has published a Home Security Methodologies paper that is not for the faint of heart.

Besides the blog, [...]

Antarctic Photography

It’s been a while sine I updated my goals and thought it might be kind of instructive to look back through them.  I didn’t put down one of the biggies that is affecting a whole bunch of other goals which is Get Married (hopefully I will be come August, unless she kills me first).
