David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

Michael and Rachel took a charter flight to Mexico yesterday, ostensibly for a vacation. This has left me as the sole occupant of 8166 Whitburn, Apt. 6 for the next week. Evening One was spent trying and failing to get the Liferay portal to run via JBoss through eclipse. (If that sentence doesn't make much sense to you, don't worry. It doesn't make much sense to me either.) Evening Two will be spent in a similar fashion to Evening One except that I'm considering sitting at the table while I work rather than sitting in chair in the living room. Evening Three through Evening Seven do not yet have definitive plans set, but some future activities will be dictated by the status of the activities planned for this evening.
In other news, I added a sidebar to this website. I had initially planned something a bit more radical, but michael talked me out of it. Also, this sidebar was trivial to implement, which may be the only reason it ever actually got implemented. I still have a few things I want to add to the sidebar but some of them may prove difficult or impossible to do.
Also, while I'm talking about the site, I should come clean regarding something you may or may not have noticed. As I write this post the primary color of the site is blue. Over the next 30 days that color will subtly shift to grey, and in the following 30 days it will become blue again. This is accomplished by tweaking the saturation of the colors a bit each day, so the saturation will range from 0 to 30 while the hue and luminosity stay fixed. Most likely, that explanation doesn't make much sense unless you're familiar with the HSL color space.

I hope you post a review of the Pagels book you're currently reading, it was often cited in the "Behind the DaVinci Code" books that I read last summer.
