For all of you ladies who may or may not be flirting with the idea of dating a startup programmer, you should know exactly what [...]

I think this is one issue that has been misunderstood, unbalanced, sensationalized, and intentionally distorted from every angle by far too many people.

I am a Christian. I believe that when God says something is wrong, it is wrong. I try to live my life by the standards set by the living example of Jesus [...]

Sometimes I feel sorry for the non-engineering interns I work with. We’re kind of a geeky group and we work together every day, so most of our lunch conversations center around our projects and research and test fixtures. This would work out a lot better if the intern lunch table were all engineers – but [...]

~A life fully devoted to my Savior. Every morning waking up, as my mom would say, [...]

I am so thankful for technology and easy communication and freedom of travel.

Because of all of that, I can successfully keep up a relationship from 1500 miles away (coming up on six months in about 11 days…hip hip hooray!). Because of it, I am spending the summer getting awesome experience and learning from some [...]

The best things in life have “do not enter” signs on them.

Whether that’s because there’s a certain thrill and sense of adventure in challenging the rules that makes the forbidden seem sweeter or because it actual IS better, I can’t say. I do know that if you want something to be [...]

“What is fundamentally important to you creates motion.”

I heard that several years ago, and I remembered it because it didn’t make a whole lot of sense. Lots of things create motion in my life simply because I worry that if I don’t DO them, the lack of doing will ruin everything. They aren’t what [...]
