August 14, 2010 When it comes to having a social life, it’s either “feast or famine.” Following Chris and Matt’s wedding reception, Glenn and I headed to two other events. The first was a birthday party/housewarming for Josiah. We had some great food (Josiah cooked) and enjoyed the company of Josiah’s friends, especially his mother [...]
August 14, 2010 Saturday evening, Glenn and I attended Chris and Matt’s wedding reception. I wish Ruben could have been there but he was home visiting family. Chris and Matt are an unforgettable couple. It’s impossible to think of one without thinking of the other. They share their faith, an enthusiasm for helping others and [...]
August 12, 2010 Friend and fellow coworker, Catherine, convinced me (and a few other area geeks) to join her at a local pub as part of an international gathering of people who follow the tech-blog, Gizmodo. Of course I took my camera (Canon 7D) to our local event. I fired off a few shots and [...]

Before leaving Houston, Esteban showed us Discovery Green, a 12-acre park located in downtown Houston. It’s a nice green-space to explore, but at 106 degrees, the heat [...]

Unfortunately, the weather that day was ridiculously HOT. Despite the heat, these crazies played the whole day. Ruben and I had fun watching Esteban and his friends [...]
August 6, 2010 Friday afternoon, Ruben and I headed to Houston to spend the weekend with Esteban and help him throw together a housewarming party the following evening. Shortly after we arrived we made a run for party supplies, then headed to a local park to watch Esteban play a softball game with his team [...]
July 25-30, 2010 I spent the last week of July with fellow TAMU staff, faculty, and students at SIGGRAPH 2010 in Las Angeles, CA. SIGGRAPH is the annual conference on computer graphics convened by the ACM SIGGRAPH organization. Thousands of CG artists, researchers, developers and producers gather for this conference. FYI: SIGGRAPH is short for [...]
July 18, 2010 Sunday, Ruben and I accompanied Glenn to Mike’s Birthday party. It was a simple, relaxing, celebration spent sharing laughs and good food with good friends. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [...]
