Rate Your Professor

Sunday, November 5th, 2006

Want to relive your college days? This website allows students to rate their professors so that other students may later make an informed decision. My wife and I looked up our numerous undergrad and graduate school professors and got a good laugh.

Back in the Saddle

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

It’s been some time since I’ve written anything in this web log. There’s a good reason for this, trust me. Since moving to Madison, my computer monitor has occupied most of my night stand and using the computer for any length of time was painful. Not too long ago, my wife and [...]

To Madison We Will Go

Wednesday, March 1st, 2006

It’s final. My wife interviewed yesterday in Madison for a Java Architect position and today was offered the position. We drove down to Madison this afternoon and hooked ourselves up with a new apartment.
We’re going to have a lot of decisions to make in the coming months, such as where in [...]

A Day in Madison

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

We hopped in the car and traveled to Madison today. I’ve heard the city described as “Wisconsin’s San Francisco” or as “60 square miles surrounded by reality” but that didn’t scare me too much. It’s purported to be the most liberal place in the state, perhaps in the midwest, and the number of [...]

December 2005 Photos

Saturday, December 31st, 2005

December was a very busy month for the family. I’ve already posted photos from our late Halloween as well as for Joey’s Birthday and Christmas. We were able to get the kids out on their sleds a couple of times this first winter in Wisconsin.
When you move to a place that calls [...]

Green Bay First Impression

Sunday, September 4th, 2005

Our family just got back from spending a week in Green Bay, hunting for houses and generally getting a feel for the area and the community. While I won’t bore you with snapshots of the many homes we toured, I will point out some of the other highlights of the visit:

Parks
The Green Bay area [...]

The Packers

Saturday, August 20th, 2005

As my wife and I explore the Green Bay area, we keep running across the Green Bay Packers in what we consider odd places. For example, we were looking at the website of a small community north of Green Bay and while examining their page regarding scheduled Village Board meetings we found this:

Occassionally, the [...]

No Dogs Allowed

Friday, August 12th, 2005

My wife and I are looking for a house to buy in Green Bay. It’s likely that we’ll rent an apartment in the area for the next six to twelve months before closing on a house. To our dismay, the vast majority of apartment complexes in the area do not allow pets. [...]

Green Bay Wiki

Thursday, August 11th, 2005

After deciding that we’d be moving to Green Bay Wisconsin, my wife and I decided to register greenbaywiki.org. My idea is to provide a commercial free area where people can post information on Green Bay. Some of the topics I’d like to cover:
Restaurants
Entertainment
Sports
Book Shops
Day Trips
Activities for Kids
Green Bay News
Newcomer Info
I need to explore [...]

Green Bay Bound

Sunday, August 7th, 2005

Now that everyone in the family has been told, I can reveal that over the next few weeks my family will be packing up and making the trek from New Jersey to Green Bay, Wisconsin. We’ve been trying hard to get out of New Jersey for the last few years, waiting for the right [...]
