Colin Scented!

Colin provided an alert for Annette today after about 30 minutes of training. Go Colin Go. Here’s a video of a kid in our class who has an alert dog:

Memphis

I’m in Mephis, Tenn. I’ve been to the Lorraine Motel and Graceland. Two ends of the spectrum. It is so frigging hot and humid here that Annette has melted. Colin is fine so far.

This weekend, Oxford, Mississippi will be the destination for scent dog training for Colin.

Penguins Win The Cup!!!!!!

Woo-hoo! The Penguins beat the Red Wings and end up spending the summer with Lord Stanley. Fleury, aka Flower, blocked a shot in the last few seconds to secure the win.

Awesome game to end the season on.

Now, how many days until September 26th?

iPhone Application Programming

Long time, no posts.  So tonight I will probably post twice.

First, lets talk about iPhone programming.  There is a revolution going on right now on your phone.  Blackberries, iPhone, and Nokia phones are all offering stores that have applications that run on the phone and perform some particular task for the phone user.   I’ve worked with the Eclipse/Blackberry environment and I was less than impressed.   The packages available for the phone seemed to be basic packages and all the repeative tasks, such as event controlling, was left to the programmer to complete.

Apple through its iPhone library seems to have a much better interface for writing applications quickly.   Right now, I’m audit Stanford CSEE 193P class to learn how to program the iPhone.  I’m impressed.  The framework has taken care of most of the difficult tasks and leaves the programmer to programing the business logic for the application.   Sweet.

Anyway, exciting stuff with more later.

The man reading it will simply be article on racism in america considering getting a real feeling for your essay.

Vets and HIPAA

Has anyone every heard of vets having to comply with HIPAA?  My old vet claimed this and wouldn’t release records until I called them.  Hmmm….

One More Game

…and then I will be jonesing for my Kings Hockey fix.   At least I will have a couple of weeks of playoff hockey.

Hmmmm…..who to root for?  Probably the Blues and Penguins in the first round.  I’ll have to see who is around after that.

Winter turns to Spring

Well, the Kings aren’t mathematically eliminated but they are all but eliminated.   At least they weren’t out of it in December this year.  Wait ’til next year!

I’m still enjoying the games and will be sad come April 11th.

EDD California – EPIC Fail

EDD sucks.  I have a $2500 adjudicance against the EDD and can’t get through to them.  Too many people.  Just put me in a queue for an hour and I’d be happy.  I’ve called these assholes 400 times today with speed dial.

I might lose my mind.  See this site for some humorous info.
