Mister Splashy Pants

In an effort to keep this blog as devoid of content as possible, it's time to vote for Mister Splashy Pants!

Greenpeace has adopted a whale it seems and needs a name for it. They do have a long list of good names, some of which I will save for later for possible pet names, but one of them takes the cake: Mister Splashy Pants. How is that name not a winner!? Go vote for Mister Splashy Pants now!

Coding, Coding, Coding

I'm sitting here, coding away, and had a thought. I have not updated my blog yet! Well, here goes.

My first month back on the job is as exciting as I thought it would be the second time around. It feels good to get a mental refresh of things and I am pumped to be coding again. I know, I'm a dork.

The other big news is a foster dog we will be getting soon, Nudge. Here's a picture of the little guy.

He will be around 8 weeks old when we get him. He's a husky/German Shepard mix like Ulric, so they should be able to get along like a house on fire. Oh the carnage around the house they will bring.

Nudge, like Ulric, had kind of a rough start to life. He was abandoned at a young age along with his 3 litter mates... who are now deceased. :( Yeppers, Nudge is the sole survivor of a disease that took his mates. He was rather down about it for a time, but the rescue group helping him out brought in 3 kittens to keep him company. From the sounds of it, the kitten trick has worked wonders for him. Good for us, we now know he will work with our cats too.

Stay tuned for more Nudge info and goodness, and adoption details if you feel so inclined to have a new, tiny (but growing!) addition to your house.
