  • Happy birthday to me

    My wife tried to set of the fire alarms in the house by putting all 29 candles on my cake today.  Hah…not even close.  I’ll need at least 30, I’m sure.  Anyway, 29 years and I’ve still managed to avoid growing up…and thankfully with young kids, I still don’t have to grow up for what,…

  • Truth in Advertising?

    I just love this…not to diss Western Oregon University, but I visited their home page and the title of the page just struck me as being funny.  It says: “Western Oregon University — Steadily emerging as a leading comprehensive public liberal arts college.” Below, the page notes that they are celebrating 150 years as a…

  • Playstation 3 for $800+

    There was a news report on slashdot that I’m hoping was overestimated — but there is a report that the Playstation 3 may sell for nearly $900 dollars.  For that kindof cash, you might as well spend a few extra bucks and get a real computer from Alienware (I love their tower designs) with the new AMD64…

  • Internet Explorer 7 preview

    I figured since I do a bit of web development (though I’ll admit it tends to mostly be backend work), I thought I’d download Microsoft’s new IE 7 preview.  For the most part, it looks pretty good.  Nothing earth shattering or worth switching from your current browser if your happy with it, but I do…

  • Goofy grin

    I’m not sure what I completely think about being one of the faces of Oregon State University (http://oregonstate.edu/home/stories/terry_reese.html), but what a goofy grin.  Actually, its nice bit of recognition by my university community and at least they let me wear my beanie in the picture. 🙂  –Terry

  • 2006 Midwinter Trip Report

    I have to write a trip report for my institution — so I thought I’d post it on my blog.  Enjoy. ALA Midwinter 2006 Trip Report San Antonio, TX Terry Reese   Ah, winter in San Antonio…certainly it must be warmer and drier than Oregon (at least, that’s the impression that I’ve cultivated).  Well, it…

  • What happened to the wireless revolution

    I’ve a wireless junkie so I’ve been waiting for the so called wireless revolution…always on, always there.  Well, someone must have forgotten to tell most airports.  Generally, I plan my travel arrangements through airports that offer free wireless to passengers simply because I like being able to pass the time doing a little work while…

  • I love college football 🙂

    You just have to love college football. I found this picture on CNN and on the internet when reading about the upcoming Notre Dame/USC game. Hillarious. And BTW, I’m rooting for USC this weekend. I always root for a Pac-10 team when playing out of conference — but I’ll be honest, I’ve never been a…

  • Hello world!

    Well, I’ve just installed WordPress and we’ll see how this whole blogging thing goes. I’ll be using this mainly to chat about things I’m interested in and to put out information on projects I’m working on.
