There is a free PDF download of the chapter on the YUI libraries.. I really hope all of my coding buddies check it out, the libraries are fantastic.

New Toys

June 27th, 2006

I picked up my new toys this week. I purchased a new Palm TX from Circuit City, I also snagged the GPS Navigator add-on. It’s pretty sweet, the Navigator software that was included in the package is made by TomTom. I have only used it once to test it, but it worked like a charm. Now I can take the family out & not worry about getting lost 8-).

Visitor

June 25th, 2006

Just wanted to let everyone know that my Mom made it out here last night. We picked her up at the airport last night about 11:00. Zach had no idea that she was coming. We wanted to suprise him & boy was he surprised.. We convinced him that we would be going to the airport to get him a little airplane.. We told him that the stores where closed & that we had to wait by the glass for them to open it..

Today we went to Santa Cruz. My Mom got to see a real lighthouse, the ocean & a sea lion.. So she is having a blast.

Yahoo! Hack Day

June 17th, 2006

Crowd at Hack Day
Originally uploaded by jzawodn.

Well, I participated in my first Yahoo! Hack Day on Thursday & Friday. I’m not sure if I am allowed to tell everyone what my hack was, but I think I can tell you all that I won a trophy for “Best Use of API’s”. So one month after I started at Yahoo! I get to put a trophy on my desk for Hack Day

The picture I have attached is the only one I have found that I am in. I am wearing a yellow shirt just to the right of the center.

L8er All

Update #1: It seems that Chad Dickerson wrote about my participation in Hack Day here.
Update #2: More Hack Day coverage at TechCrunch.

Seeing the Redwoods

June 10th, 2006

Originally uploaded by davglass.

Today we went on a hiking trip in The Big Basin State Park. We got to see the famous California Redwoods. Let me tell you, there are hardly any words that can describe seeing them. It is really a “you have to see it, to believe it” kind of thing.

We didn’t stay for too long because we ran into a couple of glitches. First, you have to pay to park at California parks (we didn’t know that), so we didn’t have enough cash to park. However, we managed to get a spot & where able to take one of the shorter trails. The second glitch was the fact that it was very cold & windy. So we all had to buy some long sleeve shirts. Even then, it was a bit of a brisk walk.

We are definitely going back, only the next time we will be better prepared..
