Today Christine and I lounged around. I’ve been itching to put up some retractable sun shades on our patio for a while now. Today was the day to do it. We stopped by our nearby Home Depot and picked up some Coolaroo sun shades. We picked out two 8′ shades for the sides of the patio and two 10′ shades for the larger front of the patio.

Each shade went in with relative ease and each one rolls up out of the way when not in use. Pretty nifty if I do say so myself. Check out the photos of the finished job.

So that trip to San Diego was pretty awesome. We took the wife’s VW Bug cross the desert and through the mountains. I’ll just say it corners really well at above average speeds.

Life has taken on an incredible amount of insanity lately. I digress.

Switch56 is chugging along as we work to finish a project for PivotalPath.com. Our focal project, txtMovieClub.com launched a new social site and new look. I like it and I think Mark did a great job pulling it together.

My pursuit of a Master’s in Engineering continues. I’m already starting to tire of school and I’ve got another year to go. This semester’s Information Assurance course is… well… exhausting? No. Uninspiring. Yeah, I’ll leave it at that.

My folks have been visiting since early March. After some time spent at my Aunt’s home in central Phoenix, they are currently staying with Christine and myself. Since my mother cannot sit still we’ve been doing different home renovations on the weekends.

Work is work. I’m still doing some V.150.1 development and there’s talk of porting my work to other platforms. This is pretty neat and offers me some really good visibility up the ladder and across divisions.

So that’s it in a nut shell for now. I’ll pull some more symfony stuff together and post it up here in the future. ‘Til then, keep on keepin’ on.
