A few weeks ago, my wife and I were camping in Bay City. On the way home, we decided that we wanted to build a house. That part is still out in the future - we will probably start next fall or the following spring. But, to be in a position to do that, we… more »

On April 13th, 2004, I put up my first post on RossCode.com. It was not my blogging debut, but it was my first time that I felt at home with blogging. I'd just purchased RossCode.com, and was ready to get started. A lot has happened over the past two ye… more »

I got a nice little treat in the mail today. Andrew Connell, who is one of five or six (I think) CMS MVPs, has been very kind to me. A couple of months ago, partly as a result of some minor information I threw his way, he asked me if I had an MSDN subscr… more »

About a year ago, I bought a series 1 TiVo. It was (obviously) used, and I never planned on keeping it as long as I have. It was a temporary stop-gap until Charter came out with their DVR service, which has been promised to be available in a month for ab… more »

I found a link in BlogPulse this weekend to The Sloganizer, and I'm having fun clicking the button over and over. I'm creating a slogan for this site, RossCode.com. Here's the best (or most outrageous) ones so far. RossCode.com. See more. Do more. It mus… more »

I'm sitting here with no unread blog posts, no unread email, and no podcasts to listen to. Now what? more »

This is completely off-topic, but I found a link to Google Sight Seeing, and it's pretty cool. It's a site that highlights interesting satellite images that people have found. I spent some time a week ago going through all of their archives while watchi… more »
