Where has the semester gone?

I can't believe this is the end of my first semester since 1996. It has been exciting, educational and, at times, very challenging. I was hoping to keep this blog updated more regularly, but I am now employed full time again. While that is nice, it has made keeping up with classes more difficult.

Making it also more difficult is family life. Four boys, a wife, my own hobbies of playing soccer, scouts and a normal social life have left me struggling to find time to get it all done. With four boys comes four mini-gamers. One of the games they play is Roblox.

This summer we have scheduled a trip to New York City so the kids can attend BLOXcon 2013.

So it seems that life is not going to slow down anytime soon for me. Work continues, soccer will be more frequent with two games per week in the summer and we are taking a trip to NYC!

One thing did get easier. I joined Dollar Shave Club (opens in a new window) recently. A great idea and quality razors at a great price.

Name The People

I was asked by a co-worker to create some Revit families from CAD blocks. They are 2D plan representations of people. I asked the requester if she wanted them named any certain way because this is what I saw.

New Driver + New Car = Less $

Well, the kids are getting older and today our eldest received his license from the state of NC. So that means our insurance will increase, dramatically. Not only that, but we are once again a 3 car family. The wife has the Kia Sedona so that we can accommodate the family of six. We still have the Dodge Charger, and last week I bought a 2016 Hyundai Veloster. Gina and I had been in discussions for a couple of weeks about the "car situation" and I had been tentatively shopping online for a small hatchback. After searching Autotrader , Carmax , Carvana I found the Hyundai through Autotrader at a local dealer . So I messaged them online to make sure the car I had seen was still available and to make arrangements to see the car and take it for a test drive. I left work last Wednesday at lunch and made my way to the dealer. After driving the car I decided it was the right price and just what I had been looking for. Gina was away on an overnight field trip so I sent some tex...

A Thursday Weekend Wrap-up

It was another concert weekend. We kicked it off Friday at Local 506 seeing regional bands Youth League , Knowne Ghost and Cuzco . Earlier in the week my son told me that he remembered seeing the bassist for Youth League at Wreckingball last summer. When we arrived at the club I saw the band outside talking. I told my son to ask him if he was indeed there last summer. Being too shy he declined. I on the other hand have not many reservations about approaching people on the street to talk to them. When asked, he confirmed that he was there. Knowne Ghost was a last minute replacement for Outbound and I was grateful because I was able to hear a "new to me" band. Youth League Saturday morning was an early start. I got up early to see Gina off for her trip to the SAS conference in Orlando. I watched the first half of the Merseyside Derby. Then I headed out to watch local soccer as some of my friends were playing each other before my own 10:00 kickoff. My game was a victory...
