How I Spent My Christmas Vacation

I recently got back from a very relaxing two weeks in Wisconsin, for a very white Christmas and some good family time. Nothing quite like a little red wine, music, and coding by the fire:

No big resolutions for the new year, maybe some small personal goals I’ll be working on. I’d like to [...]

Joining Relevance

I’m happy to announce that I have joined Relevance, a small software shop based in Chapel Hill, NC.
This is going to bring a lot of change for me and my family, one of which is moving across the country from Wisconsin to North Carolina. I love Wisconsin and being close to family, but my [...]

Introducing Mila Sanheim (baby 2.0)

I can has baby?

Mila Caroline Sanheim was born last Monday, April 23rd at 9lbs, 6oz, 21 inches long. She is very cute, very strong, and will definitely kick your ass. She has been destroying us lately (well, my wife moreso) by demanding food every hour on the hour from about 2am to 6. [...]

Me: What?? No, I’ll be working from home…
Is there something about [...]

I’ve never done concrete [...]

Back to the daily grind

How many books do you read a year?

My wife had a resolution for 2005 of “read 50 books”. With one month left she is about half way done. Even though she won’t make her resolution, I’m still pretty impressed with how much reading she is able to get done while balancing full time work and school. If I had [...]

Thanksgiving: Turkey is overrated

Thanksgiving was good times. We went to Milwaukee yesterday for my side of the family, and had Amanda’s side of the fam to our house today. Yesterday we had something like thirty people in my sister’s house, which was a bit chaotic and claustrophobic, but it was still fun.
Today was quite [...]
