Genarlow Wilson is free
Here’s proof that eventually the system gets it right. Genarlow had to spend three years in jail for something 99% of the country wouldn’t consider a crime, but at least he’s out now.

Open House at the Auction House
I heard about a new music venue opening up in the Auction House on Merchant St in Audubon tonight, so I decided to check it out. They had a nice wine, coffee, cheese, and fruit spread out for people and a fun night of music. I must have missed John Shaughnessy’s set by a few…

Robot Dracula
Probably for a robot, the scariest thing isn’t a ghost, because they wouldn’t know what one was. The scariest thing would be Robot Dracula. — Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey

Infinity Rx Vial Accumulator 3D pic
Here’s a screenshot of the 3D model version of the new vial accumulator I mentioned a few days ago. The only thing it doesn’t show is the conveyor chain. Compare:

Newspapers feeling the heat from craigslist
Most people know I’m a huge craigslist fan and I’ve bought and sold a few thousand dollars worth of stuff through it. I’ve always wondered about how much it has impacted newspapers and whether they’d start to print negative stories about it to make it seem unsafe or seedy. As long as you do everything…

Inland Empire (Again)

I’m the Engineering manager for Garvey Corporation, a company started in 1926 by my great grandfather, Gordon Garvey.

Check the Roof
I did something really dumb on Thursday after work. I had a bunch of stuff to take home and it took a while to put it all in the car. I pulled out of the drive way and made a quick left when I heard something fall off the roof of my car. Oh crap.…

Phils Can’t Get it Done
Well, looks like the Phillies are now down 0-2 in the playoffs against the Rockies. It’s hard to come back from that in a five game series, but it would be nice to see them take at least one of the games in Colorado. In other news, this was a really nice gesture by the…

Going to the game tomorrow
Woooo. I can’t wait. Also, the Phillies announced their 25 man roster for the first round of the playoffs. Adam Eaton didn’t make the cut.

Phillies Win the NL East
It’s been 14 long years since my freshman year of high school when the Phillies made the playoffs and eventually made it to the world series. I was a big baseball fan then, but the 1994 baseball strike and a string of absolutely horrendous records made yardwork look like a more exciting hobby. Baseball nearly…
