Since February I’ve been battling two really nasty herniated discs in my back. The pain has been mostly down the left gluteus and all the way down my leg following the sciatic nerve. It’s been so bad that its impacted my right side (in compensating for the left). I’ve done a round of oral steroids, a single direct injection of steroids, a round of PT, a double injection of steroids plus two

So after about a week of simmering, here are my impressions on PodCamp Ohio 2009. I pretty much met my pre-camp goal to learn how to use the envelop tool and other tricks with Audacity Got a ton of great resources for finding background audio for Jean’s medications thanks to Kim Fox from WOSU I got a better feel to how to use Twitter and why people are drawn to it thanks to

So I’m volunteering at my son’s school for COSI on Wheels. I’m rockin the colors with my Nike Alabama coaches' polo working the bugs and microscope table when I see a 4th grader come in with a Gator shirt on. Now if you’re an SEC fan, you know what’s coming but for those of you who are not, here’s what happened. During the COSI guy’s intro to the stations, the kid is eyeing me. As soon as they

Rickey Henderson is a 5 tool freak of a player. Take this example among many as what Rickey could do from the 1989 playoffs rebroadcasted on MLB Network (my new wake up channel). Game tied, Rickey draws a walk. Carney Lansford to the plate. Rickey steals second base and then third. Infield now in to try and keep Rickey on third if Carney hits a ground ball. Lansford hits a line drive that would

As a Bama fan, losing to Utah in the Sugar Bowl was tough. It was a no win for the Tide. You’re expected to win and if you lose, no matter how, you choked. But living in Columbus Ohio, I have to put up with Buckeye fan so I have to follow them via osmosis. Yet losing as the Buckeye’s did because of a busted coverage with less than 30 seconds to go has got to hurt more than losing as Bama did.

It’s been a long summer in the Leslie household. From our family trip to Cedar Point to the great wind storm thanks to Hurricane Ike, its been memorable. Here are a few highlights - John got glasses - My cousin Caitlin graduated high school, competed in the state track finals on the hottest (thus far) day of the year, gave the commencement speech  at the graduation on the 2nd hottest day of

I won some free passes to see Wanted and let me just say that I haven’t seen an action flick this good since “The Matrix” In many ways, Wanted the book is what got me back into comics. The cover of the first issue by Mark Millar and JG Jones just grabbed me when I caught just a passing glance at it in a banner ad. I hunted it down and I loved the idea (like in the The Matrix) of a guy

The new Nine Inch Nails "The Slip" is, lets call it an album, is great. This is the best album for me so far this year. And that's before you factor in that it is a free download and Trent is offering remixable tracks. I've got Discipline stuck in my head plus "The Four of Us are Dying" is a great instrumental track with a bleak name.   Checked out the trailer for "Monster Camp". Think

If you are a TV fan, you really need to head over to Hulu.com. A joint venture between NBC Universal and News Corp (think Fox), Hulu features a great mix of current and classic TV shows plus movies using Adobe's Flash player. Even better is it's ability to let you take a whole show or part of a show that you like and embed it on your favorite social software outlet.       Speaking of the

I got two emails forwarded to me that just set me off. Both were political and had two of my biggest pet peeves in them. The first one featured the line: If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, thank a solder" Here is my reply: The historian in me always gets hung up on this line: “If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English,

Since reading Snow Crash back in 2004, I have been convinced that Neil Stephenson's novel is closer to prophecy than fiction when you're talking about what libraries will look like in say 2010. For full discloser, I am not a librarian or a member of the American Library Association. I do work for a library co-op.   See, the world of the metaverse has already been used to create one product (

Ok, so the title is a bit naive but here's my point. What you read here is about as close to a running chain of thought as I can get while staying in full sentences.About 90% of the stuff is pure brain dumping of the get it off you're chest variety. This dumping is spurred on by my counseling sessions as well as by folks who happen along and check me if I'm out of line or give me a shout out if

Update on yesterday post involving my DOA XPS 600.Rather than wait for a call from Dell, I call them at lunch.My options are to either return for credit or exchange. Problem with the exchange is twofold. First the clock is still running on my 21 day return policy in case something happens like this again (the rep told me that it would be fixed after 21 days rather than replaced) and I won't be

I am a unhappy geek.UPS shows up at quarter to 5 so I have about an hour to get the the new rig, a XPS 600, unpacked before Jean needs to leave for her first client. The box is frigging 75 pounds and the UPS guy struggled to get it up the drive way. Unpack the monitor and see the first sign of trouble. The VGA cord that is already attached to the monitor has parts of the Styrofoam packing fused

Tom Petty may have said it best when he sang the waiting is the hardest part. Right now, somewhere in the bowels of the UPS network are two boxes containing my new rig. Like a monkey in a crack experiment, every half hour I'm hitting the UPS site. Where the monkey hits the button for a fix, I hit the button to see just where those boxes are at.So far those boxes are at an undisclosed UPS location

Well this is the week that Jean hit one of those milestone birthday's that cause some to freak.But in Jean's case she took it pretty much with a so what.As this is a milestone birthday, I wanted to do something big. I kicked around a trip to Mohican State Park but it's August. Not the best time to camp and canoe.Next I thought about a romantic French dinner followed by catching Cirque du Soleil

There are times when I wonder if I'm the only person who suffers from a professional schizophrenia.A have a voice in my head that tells me that I can do my job and do it well. That what I'm doing is worthwhile and valued. It's the voice that asks "Why not me?" when I start to think about maybe being a product manager or a team lead.Then there is the other voice that is ready with a laundry list

It’s safe to say that at the moment, I’m frustrated. My right kneecap is sore from kneeling on some gravel, my right side of my jaw is popping in and out in an annoying kind of way and I’ve lost my cell phone. The cell phone has been AWL since sometime Wednesday night when I last called Jean. Sadly it’s battery is gone or else I would doing some ringtone recon to try and find the thing. Our fear

Not sure what had me more stressed out this week. John having his tongue untied and his mole removed or Jean whacking her hand with a knife while trying to cut an avocado.The epic that was finding someone who could take care of both John's tongue and mole at the same time came to a close on Tuesday. Dr. Villalobos took all of 5 minutes to clip the tongue (no stitch needed) pop the mole and send

There is no better way to spend a spring Saturday morning than chilling in Campbell Hall's Endocrinology Lab as a test subject into the blood sugar impact that rasins have on a pre-diabetic.Today was the control set with a 10oz bottle of glucose slamed down after a 10 hour fast.

It is so sad that Jim is forced to point out that Dr. King never challanged the Christianity of those pastors who stood against the civil rights movement. Yet as a Christian who is a Democrat and believes in gay marriage, I've been all but told that I'm either not a 'true Christian' or worse, not saved. So when Jim writes in his challage to be like Christ in our dealings with the Right while

Got an email from my old boss at CompuServe with the news that Dain Yoder had passed away suddenly yesterday (26 April).It's always tough to see someone pass away so young. Especially someone like Dain.Logicly, we know that losses like this happen all the time...but it is never something you can ever fully understand.Words, thoughts, prayers, rememberances, tears, laughter at that Mad Hatter

After Jean went to lay down with John for the night, I finished my 'night of difficult TV watching'. Stuff that is tough to watch but helps to give context to events and their impacts on people like you and me.First up was "A Company of Soldiers" a Frontline report in which a film team was embedded with 1 Battalion 8th Calvary, Delta 'Dog' Company, 8th platoon 'the misfits'.No matter what your

Thursday while Jean was working on the guest bedroom, John took a spill off of a little step ladder and hurt his foot. While Jean didn't see how he landed, she did notice that he wasn't putting any pressure on his right foot.A quick run to Dr. Sara's was in order. Meeting them there, I knew X-Rays were in the bargain. After Dr. Sara's did her once over, she recommend that we grab lunch and then

Cheesy subject line, an article with an outrageus quote from the ACLU with a counter qoute from a Marine officer without any kind of citation or evidence that this in fact had happened.

Much like John Stewart's unbridled rant on the thrid disc of American the Audiobook towards the media, I've been feeling the same frustration towardes the church.

Given everything, the pain from the new rearhole is not as bad as expected. The worse parts when it came to the day of surgery was getting there 2 hours early and Jean having to remove the tape from my rear that was holding in the packing. Other than that I slept a ton and eat chicken soup. I opted not to watch the State of the Union. It was going to be a sales pitch for Bush's plan to undo the

For the past few months, I've had a pain in my rear. Make that rectum to be exact. To be honest this goes back to when I was in college. I had a tear aka fissur that I picked up after a nasty round of food posioning. The Doc didn't think much of it and neither did I. But over the years it has gotten to the point that I am now opting to have it taken care of by the last option... Their going to

For over 10 years my place for Chinese, be it Szechuan or Hunan, has been Imperial Sun on SR 161 just east of Cleveland Ave. Ran by Leshen Sun and her husband, this was the place to go both in terms of the ambiance and the quality of the food. When it comes to ethnic food (aside from Italian and French) I follow three points of non-PC bias. Someone from that ethnic group should be serving

It would be one thing to post yet another tail of horror at the hands of the burger jockeys. Yet it is quite another when an employee of one of the swankiest national cook store in the swankiest mall in Columbus, suffers from a total brain lock which was about to put me down $17.99 + tax. The store is William- Sonoma know for its quality kitchen gear that you pay out the nose for. My Aunt had

I was looking to catch the final score from tonight's Pats/Colts game when I saw the intro for a 60 Minutes' segment on the Marine's dealing with the insurgents in Iraq. One stuck with me. Capt. Pat Rapicault. Born in France, came to the US as a student, became a citizen and joined the Corps. His English part France and part Mississippi.

While most of Central Ohio went without power after the ice storm on Dec 23, Jean, John and I have been without heat since Dec 21. See when John and I came home from getting his big boy bed, the CO detector in the basement was beeping. So I head down thinking it's the battery. Change the battery and it picks right back up with the beeping. Not wanting to take a chance, I called the Mifflin

After a nice visit with Jean's family for New Years, all that was left to do was to pick up my car that I had left at my sister in-law's, hop on the freeway back to Columbus in time to set the DVR to record that movie about Dynasty (OK, I'll fess to my boyhood crush on Joan Collins), maybe play some X-box and then get to bed. For tomorrow, the new Trane furnace was going to be installed. This

Given everything with the furnace, ice storm and the general madness that engulfs as Christmas approaches, I was kinda surprised at how much reading I was able to get to (even if they are mostly comics). Here's the list with a quick review in order of completion:Jarhead by Anthony SwoffordGood read on the emotions of a young Marine during the first Gulf War. One thing that didn't click for me was

Tonight, sitting in the first base dugout is a man who while one of the greatest hitters of his generation, never got shot to play in a World Series. He is now a batting coach with the only major league team he has ever played for, learning the trade of managing by watching the inner workings of the club as it is managed by a man who's low keyed approach was once vilified, praised and now

This week I started on a bible study with my Minster Steve called Gospel Transformations. Part of this is me trying to start healing the image that I have of God. See, I'm a recovering fundamentalist. While I came to fundamentalism in my mid 20's, it was more out of the double wrong reasons of 1. Wanting to avoid Hell 2. Get my Dad off my back about getting baptized. To be honest, I was a

If I thought last week was bad, this week was oh so much better. Work computer blows up, so I had the joy of having to do try and balance getting a new rig up and running while trying to get my stuff off the old rig and run my load tests.

- John's had this nasty chest congestion sounding cough all weekend. Looks like a trip to see Doc Sarah. - Saturday while Jean was at work and her parents (down for the weekend and staying with Patty and Jay) were at a flea market, John and I did our tasks. 1. on the list was storytime. John wanted to play with the librarian's puppets and bounce around the room so we headed to the family reading

The last two nights Jean, John and myself have headed out either before or after dinner to ride our bikes (except for John who rides in the bike trailer) either to Woodside Green park or to Creekside and feed the ducks. I love how the ducks will flap their wings while sking with their feet across the water when you start to feed them. The air is just warm enough not to be hot but not too cold

Headed down to the Gahanna Flea Market this afternoon. Its kind of a community garage sale with food vendors with a few craft / home shopping parties reps and local folks running for office thrown in. I talk with David Goodman who is running for county commissioner plus Deb Price of City Council and Marlene Eader from the School Board. Jay and I took in Sky Captain at the Arena Grand. Loved it.

Talk with a gentleman from the Grace Church in Delaware about their experances with Alpha. Here are some of the tips he gave me. 1. The church needs to understand and commit to the fact that Alpha is about bringing people into a relationship with Christ and not building church attenace. 2.

I love Italian Water Ice. Rita's is the only place you can get it in Columbus but if you're in Delaware, check out Rocky's. It's a smooth and tasty as Rita's and since they use a Water Ice machine rather than a ice cream machine like Rita's, it doesn't melt as fast.

Well I spent my labor day a laboring. I keep thinking I should join my fellow geeks as we march to show the strength of geek labor downtown...that was if there was such a thing as a geek labor union. Instead I was up and taking apart my patio door (more on this later) and with the rest of the afternoon spent working on the back bedroom which will be John's 'big boy' room once he out grows his

Few quick words on the Labor Day weekend so far... 1. I've spent the last two days taking out to very over grown bushes as well as the tree stump they had been planed to hide next to my mailbox. One day just to cut off all the branches and get them bundled while today was spent pulling out the roots (this was the fun part). The good news is that John took a nap while Mama and I took to the work.

I stink when it comes to CSS. I just don't have the touch with it. Thus the blog is suffering for it. While my permalink pages look good, the sidebar on this page has been blown to the bottom. No idea why. I've cleared the edits, switched to a non CSS based template and back again with no luck. I would change it for good but I like the style and I've got an email into Blogger help to see if

Given that John had Hand, Foot and Mouth when Jean's birthday came on Aug 16 (Yes, the day Elvis left the planet) we opted to postpone our family dinner (we did however get carryout). So tonight after work I ran home and picked Mama and the boy up and first ran over to pick up Jean's new Trek at Bicycle One in Gahanna (great folks so give them a try if you're in the market.

Word broke today of what could be the first case of someone getting fired for blogging. Joyce Pack was a programmer for Friendster. She was let go thanks to two postings dealing with her part in the development of their new PHP backend and her roll on that project. You can read those posts and try and find what could have gotten her popped. On behalf of Friendster, let me say that in context,

Every once in awhile, I run across one of those dreaded marketing studies dealing with the adoption rate of new Technologies into the mainstream. Almost always they have some marketing munbo jumbo by which they break down out the groups. Rather than moan and complain, I've decided to come up with my own with groups that make more sense to the average techie. Geeks: First to run everything.

It's late Friday night or early Saturday morning depending on your POV. Coming to you from Solon Oh... I've been hunting on my Father-In-Law's dog slow AOL connection trying to find a song that's been stuck in my head. An 20 min tops on RR, 1 hour and 54 minutes on dial up.

As for the idea, sure you would have to have a feed for each library card in the system thus a url for each card which could be a security issue.

The other day I was checking out at the Dublin branch of the CML. After the last DVD was scanned, I started with my pile out the door. The librarian stopped me to hand me my receipt. I thanked her and mentioned that I don't really need the receipt since I check the items on my card via the website and with the new email alert feature. Then it hits me, why not use RSS?

Whole mess has gone nuts. Washington Post had a nice story on how both sides have been playing lose with the facts to suit their needs. Yet even the Post notes that the Swifty's for Truth can't prove any of the claims. Then again, this isn't the first time Bush has used an outside group to go after someone's service record. Bush attacked McCain in 2000. Kerry notes in his new ad. This coming

Friday: Took the day off from work since Jean and I are still trying to get John back on something resembling a normal sleep cycle. It didn't help our efforts when the thunderstorms rolled in waking John up at 4 am and sending Cloe into her usual thunderstorm panic. My plan was to call off, sleep in and then try to get boy back on his schedule. What in fact happened was that I remember my

A few weeks ago, Jean and I got talking about the idea of getting a bike trailer for John. Hanging in our garage is a 2000 Gary Fisher Marlin bike that hasn't seen a mile on it. I won the bike while at AOL and just never found the time to use it. Jean's family took bike trips all the time and she's been looking for a way to get active with John. I started price out the different trailers and

I just signed and hope that if you are a Christian, that you would take a moment to read this over and reflect on it.

Gotta teach nutrition somehow..so why not use a videogame. I mean the new Grand Theft Auto game (San Andreas) is going to mess with your character if you fail to eat right and workout. Don't bemoan this as yet another sign that our kids have gone to mush. Some thought School House Rock was a joke. I mean cartoons with rock music to teach kids everything from math to civics?
