Rantings of a Lunatic

Work has consumed me

Once again, I have let work consume me. It does because that is the person I am. I don’t mean for it to happen, but I inevitably end up spending too much time at work, and not enough at home, hence the infrequent posting. Since my last post, I have had a lot going on. My employer was in a contract dispute with Time Warner Cable, and that has been resolved. I launched a new website at work. I didn’t do the majority of the heavy lifting, though I did a lot of the site building. I guess I should put that as I didn’t write the CMS, but I did a lot of the migration work. In addition we have moved to a whole new suite of providers for our services, and I think that minor issues aside it has been a huge success, and has allowed the company to move forward approximately 10 years in technology terms. I have been working on my bike recently. The task at hand is to repair the brakes, because as long as the front brake is not functioning correctly the bike is out of service. I understand the value in having properly functioning brakes, so that repair has to happen before I can continue to ride. My cousin got married last weekend, that was kind of cool. My Mother’s entire family was there, so it gave Kelly the opportunity to meet my two uncles whom she had not met yet. I did get some bad news, though that is not available for public consumption. I had a physical for the first time in 10 years, and the doctor’s response was “Continue present care” which is none, and “Return in 1-2 years”. So, I feel pretty good about that. Thats about all I have in stream of conscious updates, so I will just throw a bunch of photos up here, and will make my normal promise to try to post more frequently.

Batman Review

Well, I promised a review, and honestly I liked it so much that I have been holding off so that I wouldn’t have to give any spoiler alerts. And until I really write what I think, and can feel free doing so while talking in specifics, see Ken’s blog. I completely dis-agree with him about Batman Begins. I loved that movie, and I think at the time that was probably my favorite Batman movie. Just awesome. But he is right on every point on the new one. And honestly, I hadn’t ever been bothered by Bale’s voice in the last one, but in this one it really caught me as just too much.
