Thursday I took a half day off of work for a trip down to the Franklin Institute to see the Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibit. Being the Star Wars fan that I am, it’s probably surprising that I haven’t seen a lot of the original props before, but I’ve never really gotten the […]

typo*
March 20th, 2008 by pleia2

Thursday night Alex Launi swung by to rescue me from being stuck without a car. We went out to Coyote Crossing in Conshohocken.

Password Management?
March 3rd, 2008 by pleia2
Between work, play, and community involvement, I’ve now officially passed the threshold of reasonable password management.

It’s a mess, and in a lot of cases causes me to drag my feet on tasks because I have to search for […]
