An update to the earlier things to install list. I
have been meaning to post this for some time.

I have fallen criminally behind on this log. Time to get a few entries
in here to update people on events from September forward. Note to
self: just get them done. The perfect is the enemy of the good.

The wedding was wonderful. I am very fortunate to be married to Sara
and very fortunate that so many friends and family came together
to help us have a wonderful day.
I love this photo because it shows so many people we care about having a great time at our reception. 18:35:20 Friday September 04 2009
Our wedding is drawing ever closer. I had better post some quick
updates on recent happenings before things get so busy that I don't
have time to. Post two of two:

Some June updates:

My little sister, Chrissy, got married on May 30th. Sara and I
helped out with bridal party type duties. The wedding was beautiful
and the reception was loads of fun.
We wish Chris and Chrissy a long and happy life together. The photoset is here. 19:13:50 Tuesday June 09 2009
I forgot one update for the first half of May. On the 9th Sara ran in the first
annual Jay Cooperider Memorial
5k. Follow the link to see
the photoset.

Things are moving very quickly. We have been exceedingly busy. A quick
list of non-work updates follows.
15:18:32 Thursday May 14 2009 Just in case you were curious about how to give an xml element an attribute:
<xsd:complexType name="MyTag">
<xsd:simpleContent>
<xsd:extension base="xsd:string">
<xsd:attribute name="attr1" type="xsd:string" default="asdf" />
</xsd:extension>

<MyTag attr1="foo">some_value</MyTag> 19:48:32 Friday April 10 2009
We went to see Randi talk on Monday. The photoset is
here. I was somewhat disappointed. Randi gave a very meandering
talk with no central thesis. It was more like story time with "grandpa
Randi" than a lecture. Michael Shermer did a much better job when he presented a Woods
Lecture a few years ago.
In other news: chess has suddenly become a popular recreation activity at my workplace. This has re-awakened the long dormant chess circuits in my brain. It is interesting to me that lots of my friends and co-workers don't know me as a "chess person". Once upon a time it was a major part of my life. My father taught me to play at a fairly young age. Once I got over losing my first game, I enjoyed playing chess a lot. My parents were always looking to get me involved in activities, but I was a socially inept child. When placed on a sports team I would just sit on the field and pull weeds. In a stroke of genius they realized that they could get me involved by sending me to summer chess camp run by the legendary Mike Zabawa. I remember him as a very intimidating man, kind of a hard-ass, but I learned a lot from him. I played great deal of chess in middle school and early high school. Hell, I even started the chess club at my middle school (Zabawa's club across town was so good that my middle school had never even bothered to form a club). In the later half of high school I became more interested in role playing games like Dungeons and Dragons and socializing with girls and forgot about chess for a few years. In college Ryan and Andy were very into chess and we would play game after game after game just to kill time in the dorms. Once grad school started I didn't play again for a long time. Now everyone at work is interested and I am experiencing my 3rd chess era. I think the moral of the story is that I am a big nerd. 15:50:11 Monday April 06 2009
Last night Castor and I went down to Indy for a meet and greet with
The Amazing Randi at the CFI
center along the canal walk. We listened to Randi tell stories and
exchanged a few brief comments. At the end of the session Randi was
kind enough to pose for photos with us.
This evening he will be giving a lecture at Butler as part of the Woods Lecture series. 17:09:17 Saturday April 04 2009
Last night Sara and I stopped by the opening of the Tippecanus Rex show at the Tippecanoe Arts
Federation. The photoset can be found here.
Apparently most artists in the area are convinced that the Fowlers were in some way associated with witchcraft.
