The band won caption awards for overall effect, music, and percussion, and the color guard (of which my daughter Madeline is a part) placed second in Group VI. This is an amazing accomplishment that caps a fantastic year for the band. They have worked incredibly hard this season, and I’m so proud of all of them.
Here is a video of this season’s show from an earlier competition, shot by another band parent:
This entry was created and uploaded from a Powershell Cmdlet that I wrote to interact with the WordPress API. I’m creating a full set of Cmdlets for each of the XML-RPC methods in the API. When they’re done, I’ll post the code.
I don’t work at home exclusively anymore, which means that at some point during the daylight hours I’m usually at my desk at the office trying to get all the annoying work done so I can focus on the productive work that I still do at home in the early morning or late evening.
Just now I had an idea for how to ward off interruptions when I have to be at my desk. My phone has a headset attached to it so I can write code or respond to e-mails while I’m waiting for my name to be mentioned on conference calls. It occurred to me that I could just leave the headset on all day and occasionally talk to myself. That way people would avoid talking to me because they would assume I was either A.) on the phone, or B.) weird.
I can’t stand all the silly neologisms floating around the “blogosphere” (ugh) these days, like “webinar,” “vlog,” and all the silly tripe like that. But earlier today, I traded blog comments (I can’t even stand that word) with Larry Osterman, and it occurred to me that we were having a “diablog.”
