You have to sometimes physically remind them you are more important than they are. If you do not, they they start to nip, fight, even bite you. Just watch an episode of Cesar Millan and you will see that 99% of the [...]

Thanks for the food and treats! Sorry I haven’t written. Just been really busy dealing with winter. Guess G_Mom told you we were all sick and just staying in bed for several days. Better now! I hurt my thigh doing Wii Yoga, so I had to behave for several days. It really fooled [...]

Moreover, the tighter the parameters on a project the more fun it can be to solve the [...]

 ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Sunday, 15th of August 2010 at 08:09:48 PM I have been thinking a bit about how you structure the start up of today. This also includes older companies looking to bring the best of the startup mentality onboard for rebirth. Maybe we can call this re-starting-up? There are a couple problems that I think are valid in my current position that have made [...]
 ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Thursday, 22nd of July 2010 at 02:45:08 PM I get asked a lot about why I have a background in Zoology (particularly, marine and even more particularly, neuroscience) but now work in IT. It is a little hard to describe quickly, especially since this question is often asked by an HR representative over the phone as part of an interview.
To answer this [...]
 ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Sunday, 11th of July 2010 at 04:51:44 PM The purpose of this post is to give a very short template of what each project should do to work in the Agile framework and with Rally (our project mgmt tool). Now that a lot of you have had some exposure to Rally and Agile this seems like a logical next step.
To start: a [...]

My Mom is at work and this new computer that your Dad brought her is very easy to work. Mom leaves it on and uses it a lot more. We can hear and see Katie now and that is so much fun. Harlow sits next to Mom and watches Katie on the computer [...]

Also in there are my tickets to Petra and the Prado. [...]
 ✡ Ellie wrote this entry on Friday, 26th of February 2010 at 03:25:14 PM Dad, have to make this quick…power goes on and off! We are also surrounded by flood water. This has been an unbelievable 24 hours. 60-70 miles an hour winds and things blowing everywhere and hitting the house. Don’t worry I protected everyone. G_Mom made us go out in the wind and rain to use the [...]
