Went up to Mt. Tabor Park this afternoon, walked around. I guess it is a dormant volcano, which is cool. Named after the real Mt. Tabor that is like 6 miles east. Pretty nice place. If I had an EVDO card, I probably would take my laptop up there for an afternoon.
Anyways, here are some [...]

Last week, Heidi and I went to The Veranda Lounge at the Pioneer Place Theatre in St. Cloud. The Half Steps were singing. I pulled out the digital camera and recorded them singing “That’s Amore” (think: Dean Martin).

After traveling this week, it has become really more apparent that technology plays a major role in the whole traveling process, as well as family interaction. Now I know there are the old schooler’s out there that will be like, phhh, you don’t need technology to do anything. I am not saying that, I am [...]

Stumbled across a pretty cool site the other day, Walk Score (http://www.walkscore.com) - you put in your address and it gives you back a score between 0 and 100 about how good your location is to walk around to other places nearby. I got a 94/100 - pretty good!
Here is my walkscore link:

I have been in Minnesota since Saturday night. Like being back, but for some reason I miss PDX. Many stories though already and it is only Tuesday. Will blog more later. I need to go do the Dance of the Manatee…
Many changes happening. Some good, some great, some just, changes. Who moved my cheese? :)

Also installed SongBird - by Mozilla. It [...]

Tonight I walked on down the block to the Portland Blogger Dinner at Jive Software. Pretty cool. Jive is nice, Wii, 360, beer on tap in the break room… the work on a product called ClearSpace - collaboration software written in Java.
It was a good get together, met some cool people. I added some [...]

Read this quote today and it is so funny yet true..
“We started out like Romeo and Juliet, but we ended up in tragedy.”
If you don’t get it, then, well, you don’t get it. :)

As a short follow up to a post I did a little while ago on SELECT’ing the instance and machine names from SQL Server, here is how you get the Current Database Name
SELECT db_name()
Funny because I was looking for that online, and my Google search led me to my past blog post, so I figured [...]
