Camera Phobia

Today on the way to work, we stopped at the fedex office so Shaun (my ride) could drop off a package. While he went in and took care of that, I got out of the car and took some pictures of Timpanogos (including this one).

It’s story time.
Once upon a time in high school, I had a really cool computer science teacher named Clarence Whetten.
Our computer lab consisted of a Unix system with 4 Meg of RAM and about 30 dumb terminals. As I understand it, Mr. Whetten approached a local company (ICON, where I later worked as an intern [...]

Thomfoolery

This piece of wood once stood where there is now a sign in front of the office building where I work. Originally, it just said “Sign” which I guess was a warning of what was to come, so nobody would be too surprised. After a while though, my friend Thom decided someone needed to follow [...]
