    Aaron is allergy free now! started by acedanger
    Some Background
    My son has had three allergies:

    milk protein called casein
    egg whites
    mold

    Most people thought that since he was allergic to milk, that meant he was just lactose intolerant. That assumption annoyed the hell out of Meri and bothered me a bit as well since it really
    Ode to the peanut butter and jelly sandwich started by acedanger
    So I’ve had this blog post idea in my head since about noon today so I figured I’d go ahead and write it, read it and most likely delete it, so here it goes.  Keep in mind though, I’m a programmer by trade and I don’t have much creativity.  The only creativity I have only [...]

    Aaron’s started VPK this year and we just got his first weekend project. His teacher traced his body and we were supposed to decorate it to look like Aaron. Here are some pictures.

    An update regarding Aaron’s eye surgery started by acedanger
    Aaron had eye surgery on Thursday, July 10th.  Meri and I were a total wreck that day.  Aaron was brave, as he always is.  I posted the key events of the day on plurk.com and on twitter (via ping.fm on my VZW BlackBerry).  All of my updates, via plurk.com, several hours before the surgery, leaving [...]
    I resigned started by acedanger
    Lost in the busyness of Aaron’s surgery, I resigned from my current employer, effective next Friday (July 25th). I will start my career as an independent consultant with a new client.

    I’m excited to start a new chapter in my career, although I’m a bit nervous about having to find new contracts when current ones [...]
    Aaron’s Eye Surgery started by acedanger
    Aaron’s intermittent exotropia I discussed previously has been getting progressively worse. Meri and I have both been noticing that he is squinting more and more, even when he’s not outside in full sun and even when he’s wearing sunglasses.  Meri and I have had a bad feeling about what we both [pessimistically] thought would need [...]
    Interview on Wednesday: should I stay or should I go? started by acedanger
    I had an interview yesterday for a 6 month contract. I really liked the facility and the work environment seemed very clean and nice. The people I interviewed with were very nice. The only problem I have with it, is the length of the contract. My biggest worry is about not being extended. Both of [...]
    R.I.P. Orange - Aaron’s first fish started by acedanger
    Aaron and I had a fun day. We played the beach ball game in the house a couple times, we went to the pool, we watched T.V. together and we did about 4 or 5 puzzles together. Aaron had his final soccer game of the season last Thursday (6/5/08).
    The coaches had a party for both [...]
    Vox Crossposter recognition started by acedanger
    First and foremost, I want to thank David Chartier for the write-up he completed for the DownloadSquad regarding my Wordpress plugin, the Vox Crossposter. I didn’t think the plugin was that big of a deal until users started to email me, asking me for help installing the plugin.
    Aaron got a new hat! started by acedanger
    Check out Aaron’s new hat. He loves it! He actually got about three or so very similar hats. Isn’t he just the most adorable little boy child ever (you can admit that he is cuter than your kids, they’ll understand after you show them this picture!)?

    Moved my blog to new domain started by acedanger
    My blog used to be located at blog.petewood.us.  I just moved it to www.acedanger.com.  I had some decent search engine rankings on a few keywords and I didn’t want to lose them.  I knew there was a way to rewrite the URL so that if someone clicked on a link to
    Gary Pajcic started by acedanger
    When I graduated from Paxon Senior High School, I got a full-scholarship to the University of North Florida (UNF).  The scholarship was started by two attorneys in Jacksonville named Steve and Gary Pajcic.  They were willing to pay for any graduate of Paxon to go to UNF%2
    XTHML 1.0 Transitional started by acedanger
    Just fair warning, I’m ranting about geeky stuff regarding web design/development…
    I read a chapter in a book on HTML and CSS design about how to make your website(s) “standards compliant”. I said what the hell, let’s do it. S

    I’ve been working on an idea that I have had for a long time ago. I feel like I now have a decent contact management system, decent enough to talk about publicly and maybe get some feedback on. It isn&%
