Wildlife of Buzzards Bay

It’s getting warmer here in Mattapoisett, not warm enough walk on the beach in the evening without a jacket, but warmer nonetheless. Tonight I walked down to Brandt Island Cove with Jazz and took a couple snapshots of the things I’ve been coming across on our walks lately.
First, for the last [...]


Paper Review: Two Case Studies of Open Source Software

The term paper for the class I’m taking (Paradigmatic Software Development) required that we write a review of a article that has appeared in a software engineering journal. I spent about 45 minutes trying to poke around the journal locator that UMass Dartmouth outsourced (to a company called serialssolutions.com) before giving up (they don’t [...]

Sunset Pictures From A Beach Walk

About 3 miles from our home in Mattapoisett is this great piece of land donated by Paul Munn, now called the Munn Preserve. Chris and Sara introduced us to it a couple months back as a great place to take the dog and it is. Jazz (our labrador retriever) goes bananas when we turn [...]

New Feature on KarensRecipes.com

The Thanksgiving 2004 Cooking Adventure is online now courtesy of yours truly and some nagging by my mom to put something new on the homepage. Oh, and she wrote part of it, so I guess she deserves some credit.


Pretty Quiet Around Here

Hello friends! I’ve been ignoring you: the house, the new dog, the kid (due in December), a bulging disk in my lower back (ouch) and a new site (http://blackberryblog.com/) have been taking up 100% of my time. I promise I’ll be back soon.


Bad Hardware

I was out of commission all last week because of what may turn out to be a herniated disk in my lower back. Last Sunday I stepped out of the car and felt something go wrong. I took Monday off, tried to go work Tuesday and only made it to 3pm. Wednesday I [...]
