Woke up this morning for some much needed exercise…racquetball at 6am. We played 4 games, and ended up tied 2-2. It’s good that we’re seemingly equally matched (at least for now), as we each won our games by similar scores. I think the winning scores were 15-9, 15-8, 15-11, 15-7. The good thing about exercising [ Read More ]

Today marked the day when we reached the end of the largest population of accounts that we were moving. About 10 days ago, we [ Read More ]
Today i played golf at the new NC State Golf Course “Lonnie Poole” with some friends from work. It’s a really nice course, and pretty damn difficult too. I ended up shooting at 93, which i think is pretty good considering that I haven’t played in a few months, and even then it was at [ Read More ]
Today I gave a presentation to the NC State Web Developers about Google Analytics. We had about 35 people attend, which was a fairly good turnout, and while i was happy that we have an interested community, I was simultaneously becoming more nervous about presenting. You see, I’m not an expert on Google Analytics…at least [ Read More ]
