I am currently (late 2014) a post-doctoral researcher in Computer Science at the Maseeh College of Engineering & Computer Science, Portland State University, in Portland Oregon.
Since Fall 2009, I have worked with Dr. Dave Maier at Portland State University, and with the Center for Margin Observation and Prediction (CMOP), part of OHSU.
I received my PhD in June, 2014. My dissertation topic is "Ranked Similarity Search of Scientific Datasets: An Information Retrieval Approach". My thesis committee consisted of:
My research interests include applications of emerging technologies; integration of biological and physical data; scientific information management, data access and discovery; and spatio-temporal databases.
I am currently working on two projects:
My email at PSU is: vmegler at the web server address of cs dot pdx dot edu. (Link to my scholarly publication list.)
"Data Near Here" applies concepts from the field of Information Retrieval and Internet search to massive archives of scientific datasets. I address the following problem: with the explosion of data collected by scientists and stored in many files, many formats, many naming conventions, how do scientists find data that matches their research needs?
I use a running example of a scientist searching for salinity observations collected in of May 2009, near the Astoria-Megler bridge. (Evidence of it running over CMOP's archive is in the screenshot below.) Note that in this case, there are no exact matches for the scientist's search terms as formulated; given no exact matches, the tool presents an ordered list with the "nearest" matches at the top.
Similar in concept to the way an Internet text search engine operates, I focus on providing a set of results ranked by similarity to a scientist's search; however, rather than text webpages, my users are searching for scientific (primarily numeric) data. I assume that after reviewing the search results, the scientist will wish to download, visualize or otherwise process selected datasets using other tools. Thus, the search engine is complementary to existing analysis and visualization technologies.
A set of crawlers scan an archive of datasets, asynchronously. We create a brief summary of the contents of each dataset, and store them in a metadata catalog using a simple, consistent abstraction. The current prototype handles several different file types, and the scanning process can be easily extended to handle additional file types and formats.
The user enters his search criteria into a UI. A search engine searches over the metadata and returns ranked search results of the "closest matches" to the query, in real-time. Searches can include location, time, variable names of interest, or desired ranges for the data values. The results are displayed in a list (and, if geolocation information is available, on a map), along with brief summary information. The results can be downloaded for analysis or plotted in linked data analysis or visualization tools. A link leads to a page that shows the full metadata available for that dataset, thus providing the scientist with additional information upon which to make analysis decisions, if desired.
"Data Near Here" is described in the following publications:
... and, of course, at great length in 'my dissertation (of which sections, surprisingly, strongly resemble the above listed papers. But there is new content there, too). [local copy]
A patent was granted: "A Search Tool that Utilizes Numerical Scientific Metadata Matched Against User-Entered Parameters Edit", United States Patent US8560531 B2, filed July 1, 2011, issued October 15, 2013. Inventors: Veronika Megler, David Maier; Joint IBM/Portland State University.
Data Near Here is in production at CMOP, for use by registered users only. It will be opened to outside users in the (hopefully near) future. The CMOP production implementation currently focuses primarily on CMOP's own data archive; data from other archives may be searchable via this implementation in the future.
A research prototype is available (well, it's available when it's working), at a publicly undisclosed webpage, in order to preserve my freedom of action (i.e., to break it again).
We are now exploring application of the same ideas, concepts and (hopefully) code-base to genomics data.
This is a new research project, intended to explore how one might architect and build an observatory that understands and adapts to the wide variety of data gathered or otherwise available in a single domain. The project uses our local city of Portland, Oregon, as a laboratory and example within which to explore these concepts.
One use case is described in Guiding Data-Driven Transportation Decisions. To appear at BDUIC 2014, the Big Data and Urban Informatics Workshop, UIC, Chicago, IL, August 11-12, 2014.
I am involved in other "random" (and fun) research-related activities. They include:
My previous position was Executive IT Architect at IBM, prior to leaving to pursue my PhD. Here are links for: a) a summary of recent accomplishments and b) a list of my industry publications.
My 15 minutes of fame are documented in many places, including: Tolkien Gateway (which references a parody of our game I didn't know about), World of Spectrum (with a picture I have no memory of), and a Wikipedia entry (none of which I wrote). There's even a walkthrough, here.
I hereby apologize for making Thorin spend so much of his time singing about gold...
Three recent and extensive articles:
... and I even wrote a recent blog article for the Australian Center for the Moving Image, Ruminations on The Hobbit Fandom.
As of "the day I last checked", it was the second most downloaded item in the Internet Archive's Historical Software Collection

Is 'Tough On Crime' No Longer A Talking Point?
By editor
Originally published on Thu September 20, 2012 9:21 am
There's a growing bipartisan consensus that criminal justice policy needs to change, because of the costs and social consequences of keeping more than 2 million Americans behind bars. Host Michel Martin discusses the parties' platforms on criminal justice with the Sentencing Project's Marc Mauer and Marc Levin of the group Right On Crime.

Tools for Learning
Netop has released an upgrade to its MyVision classroom management software. The new version offers mixed platform support, making it conducive to classroom environments that run both Mac OS X and Windows operating systems.
Launched in August 2009, MyVision is available in two versions: Free and Basic. The former, as the name implies, is available for download free of charge and is a rudimentary solution for teachers to monitor students' in-class computer activity. The latter is offered at a $199 per year year subscription rate and includes more extensive classroom computer management and monitoring features, including the tools to share screens with computers throughout a classroom, to blank out monitor screens, and to shut off Internet access with the click of a button.
Additionally, the company is now offering volume subscription discounts on MyVision Basic. Starting at $25 off the $199 annual rate when two teachers at the same school use the software, discounts are also available for subscriptions of 10 or more and 25 or more.
"MyVision has helped us a great deal," said Andrew Williams, school-site secretary for Crossroads Charter Academy of Hanford, CA, which offers a virtual curriculum. "In our lab of 28 PCs, we were not always able to supervise all of the students who were working on different assignments. MyVision helps us to keep all of our students on task and working toward their learning goals."
More information on MyVision Free and Basic versions, including links to downloads, is available here.

Leading French MSP Enhances Monitoring Of Its Cloud Service Level Agreements With CA Nimsoft Monitor
CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced that Coreye, a specialist in hosting and managing strategic applications, is using CA Nimsoft Monitor to enhance the service quality and reduce the costs of its IT service delivery.
Operating in the highly competitive managed service provider (MSP) market, Coreye selected CA Technologies solution for its ability to unify the monitoring of its IT infrastructure performance. CA Nimsoft Monitor has helped Coreye increase its productivity; Coreye anticipates a return on investment (ROI) within 18 months.
Having realized 15 percent growth in 2012 with a matching forecast for 2013, Coreye sought to differentiate itself from other MSPs. The company established a vertical business strategy focused on developing applications tailored to customers in the healthcare and e-commerce industries, among others. CA Nimsoft Monitor anchors Coreye's new business model.
"Replacing five monitoring products with one allows us to monitor the performance of our entire IT infrastructure. CA Nimsoft Monitor enhances our ability to assure our customers' application service levels and allows us to provide them with detailed reports adapted to the requirements of their specific business," says Camille Cacheux, CEO of Coreye, "For example, whereas e-commerce operators need to verify that each transaction is included in their inventory management, customers in the health industry are focused on the availability of their web portal and the integration of medical analysis data. CA Nimsoft Monitor offers a level of customization that serves as a major differentiator."CA Nimsoft Monitor manages Coreye's multi-tenant 1 IT infrastructure, which is composed of databases, business applications (including UNIX, Linux, Windows and other environments) and more than 1000 components. The solution can scale to monitor more components as needed. ObjectLine, a value distributor and system integrator for administration solutions, assisted Coreye in the selection and implementation of CA Nimsoft Monitor. According to Philippe Fery, CEO ObjectLine, "CA Nimsoft Monitor offers many advantages. It is notably fast to deploy and particularly well-built for multi-tenant environments. Its multi-platform web console helps provide customized reporting, with the appropriate level of granularity." Coreye conducted a detailed analysis of the expected ROI of CA Nimsoft Monitor. "The automated control and industrialization of our monitoring processes has stepped up productivity and reduced our costs. The ROI was calculated to be 18 months. After six months in production, I can confirm that figure," said Camille Cacheux. "CA Nimsoft Monitor is a strategic component of our cloud infrastructure. It is indispensable."

What They Call the "Russian Embassy," Western Addition, San Francisco, California, USAWednesday, May 21st, 2014
Russian Embassy Comes Out for Julian Davis for District Five Supervisor – Plus, Litter From Olague WorkersTuesday, September 25th, 2012
Here it is, up at the top of Alamo Square:
Click to expand
Tell me, who on Gaia's Earth would think that dull-witted Christina Olague would be a good person to represent District Five? I mean, why would you pick a Run Ed Run chair to represent the district that so strongly favored John Avalos for Mayor just a short while ago?
Perhaps Christina Olague was picked by Ed Lee and Rose Pak to represent Ed Lee and Rose Pak? And now Willie Brown is on board as well?
Now take a look here at what's littering the Western Addition these days. That's right, it's Olague lit, routinely dumped by her workers.
This is what happens when a non-profit forces people to do work that they, fundamentally, don't want to do:
They'll dump their lit that you give them, that's what they'll do.
(Nobody said buying popularity would be easy, huh?)
Cf. the campaign of Julian Davis:
The volunteers for Julian actually seem to care.
Go figure.
Oh Dear, Appears that "The Russian Embassy" of Alamo Square Opposes the SFMTA's Attempts to Tax Parking in the AreaWednesday, May 30th, 2012
All right, first a little history:
"Up at Fulton and Scott is a great shambling old Gothic house, a freaking decayed giant, known as The Russian Embassy"
Here it is. Note that its owner opposes the current attempt of the SFMTA / MUNI / DPT to charge people for parking on the street. See?

This issue is ably covered by Morgane Byloos in the Local Addition blog of the Western Addition.
Hey MUNI! Why don't you manage your existing affairs before you start working on new things?
Just asking.
In closing, MUNI sucks.

Hi, Everyone! I don't know about you, but one of my favorite things about Christmastime is baking cookies; both old family favorites and trying out new recipes. One of my favorite holiday flavors is eggnog, so I thought... why not put the two together and make some eggnog cookies?! These cookies are deliciously soft and have a wonderful warm, spicy flavor from the eggnog and cinnamon, sweet crunch from the pecans, and some added sweetness from the eggnog glaze! If you're looking for a new cookie recipe this Christmas, give these Glazed Eggnog and Pecan Cookies a try! Happy Christmas baking, Everyone!
(Makes about 15 large cookies)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plus 2 tbs granulated sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
6 tbs unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup eggnog
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tbs eggnog
1. First, sift together your dry ingredients (flour and baking powder). Set aside. In a different bowl, cream together butter and sugar, then add the eggnog, vanilla extract, the egg and the cinnamon and salt, and mix until you get a nice, smooth mixture.
2. Mix the flour and baking powder into the bowl with the wet ingredients, then add the chopped pecans, and mix until you get a smooth dough (it will be a pretty wet dough). Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 350 deg F and line your baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto your baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches in between the cookies. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown.
4. Let the cookies cool completely, and make your glaze while they are cooling. To make the glaze, simply whisk together the confectioners' sugar and eggnog. Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle them with the glaze.
Happy Christmas Baking, Everyone!

Diagnostic Assays and Methods of Use for Detection of Filarial Infection
The effort targeting the mosquito borne neglected tropical disease lymphatic filariasis for elimination through mass drug administration by 2020 will require accurate, cost effective methods for detecting early infections. The World Health Organization-recommended immunochromatographic test detects adult Wuchereria bancrofti (Wb) antigen in blood, but shows variable efficacy due to the complex life cycle of the parasites and cross reactivity with other organisms. This variability may hinder effective lymphatic filariasis elimination efforts. This new technology improves available detection methods through use of an isolated immunoreactive antigen, Wb123, from infective stage larvae (L3) Wb; which results in specific detection early in the infective cycle with reduced cross reactivity. This technology may see wide application in testing and surveillance of lymphatic filariasis as part of the effort to eliminate the disease worldwide.

Frequent-flier 101? Classes promise to make you an air-travel guru
Want to become a frequent-flier expert? There's a class for that. In fact there are two; "Saving on airfare and redeeming frequent-flier miles" is the basic course while the "advanced" class is dubbed: "Securing top elite status and flying in luxury." Each course comes complete with its own curriculum and "recommended reading."
The courses are the brainchild of Nicholas Kralev, who has wracked up more than 1.5 million miles during the past decade in his previous job as the diplomatic correspondent and business travel columnist for The Washington Times. A large part of Kralev's job involved traveling with the U.S. Secretary of State, a position which took him to far-flung corners of the Earth while covering the likes of Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell and Madeleine Albright.
Kralev, who's last day at the Times came last week, says his experience at the paper has given him a wealth of knowledge to pass on to would-be frequent-flier gurus.
"In a way, I owe much of my travel knowledge and experience to the State Department," Kralev tells me by e-mail. "Had it been cheaper and more comfortable to fly on the secretary's plane -- any secretary, and I've traveled with four of them -- I wouldn't have flown so much commercially. Consequently, I wouldn't have figured out how to spend much less or airfare but [still] sleep in flat beds, eat gourmet meals and earn hundreds of thousands of miles."
Kralev claims his seminars will help fliers save "hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars per ticket, … achieve and maintain elite airline status, … avoid the coach cabin as much as possible" and avoid time spent "waiting in airport lines or on the phone."
"No one has ever done this before, as far as I know," Kralev says. "It took me years to learn all that stuff, since there are no books or classes about this, and I thought there must be enough people out there who want to fly cheaply but in luxury."
Kralev's first set of "On the Fly" seminars kick off June 25 and June 26 in at the American Foreign Service Association in Washington, D.C. The cost for two-hour sessions range from about $106 to about $160.
Will the classes be a hit with travelers?
Kralev says "the strongest response so far has been from people -- both in government and the private sector -- who travel overseas for work but are only allowed to pay for coach, so they are desperately looking for ways to sit in business class without actually paying for it with cash."
"I think it has huge potential," he adds. "Hopefully we'll be doing it around the country soon."

New Pregnancy Thread - October
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 10-17-2012 - 9:08pm
Does this work? I haven't been able to post or see the end of a thread (like, get to the last post) since the board change over. Wondering if we can post/reply if we start a brand new thread?
Goodness... last time they changed things we didn't like the format/look of the boards, but at least they functioned!
Hope everyone is well!
|Tue, 10-23-2012 - 9:54am
Trying to jump in here - I miss my daily board fix!!
Mandy - yuk on the BP! Hopefully it settles down and was just a fluke!
Sandy - can't believe you're already and gender ultrasound time! Glad you got your job situation worked out. I know that has been a huge stressor for you. Hopefully, everything is smooth sailing from here on out.
Jess - I am so glad you like your new OB! And that you don't have to induce until 40 weeks.
I am truly, truly ready for this pregnancy to be over. This is getting so hard and so insane. My DH is working like a mad man right now, my DS is getting ALL KINDS OF PRE-TEEN DRAMA thrown his way (and therefore ours!), and DD has decided she likes to talk like a baby.
Can I be done?
|Tue, 10-23-2012 - 9:50am
Mandy - Sorry for the high blood pressure. what was it? Just curious. I am sure it was just a fluke. Try not to worry about it and it will help. The less you can stress about it the lower your blood pressure will be. but if it's high they can put you on meds and monitor it right?Glad you got another ULtrasound.
I am really not looking forward to getting the bill for these weekly ultrasounds!! but it is what it is.
|Tue, 10-23-2012 - 7:36am
Mandy- So sorry to hear about your BP. I have chronic high BP so I am on meds already. So far it's good so hoping to keep it that way. It was good the whole way through with David. Anyway hope it is not an issue for you at your next appt.

Now I tried to redo my siggie it was too big. So I tried to resize it through photobucket and it messed up so now I don't have a siggie. I guess I will have to try and do a new one I know Adrienne did the last one but I think she is due with her baby soon if she hasn't already had him. oh well. another frustrating thing on here.
|Mon, 10-22-2012 - 4:32pm
Mandy - We did the eye goop stuff and didn't have an issue, but definitely if it's a concern discuss with your OB and like Ella said it's optional. We delayed the Hep B vac until we discussed it with our peds office. I think she ended up getting it at like 2 weeks instead of in the hospital. Definitely find a new OB if they don't want to listen to your concerns....
Ella - Yep I am getting close! I really can't believe it. I mean how did this happen. I had an appointment on Friday - Can't remember if I posted about that here or not with my new OB and she is amazing! She doesn't think she needs to induce before 40 weeks. They will induce me though if she isn't here by the 16th. But if they do induce they are talking about just stripping my membranes and possibly breaking my bag and sending me home. But all depends on my cervix. Friday they checked my cervix because I had to do the Group Strep test - which I am positive for. So definitely hooked up to the antibiotics in the IV again. but I am sure I will be on insulin again and have my IV tree as DH called it :) I was 1cm dilated on Friday.
Today I had an appointment and another US. The ultrasound went well. She took awhile to get the movements because little pineapple just wasn't as active, but she is making up for it the rest of the day. They found a little fluid in her left kidney that was high, around 10 something, but then when she was waiting for the movement Pineapple must have peed because it dropped down to 4.7. She still had to measure it and report it to my MW, but she didn't see any issues with it. They will watch it over the next few weeks and see how it goes and if it's a problem, but I am not going to worry about it.
this MW (Different than the one I normally see) though the same about induction, so I have three opinions all from the same place all saying the same thing, so it makes me feel good in my choice in practice.
She is head down and dropped a little so now it's just a waiting game. DH told her last night that she needs to either come now, or wait until after the first weekend in november so he can go deer hunting ;) I told her the same thing.
|Mon, 10-22-2012 - 3:41pm
I probably won't be posting as much since I still can't see posts on my phone (UGH!) I hope that gets fixed soon.
Anyway...I took the job offer from my old company. The deciding decision was FMLA and short term disability during my pregnancy and all my benefits went back to what they were. Plus when I called to accept the offer the pay is a lot more than I thought so I'm making a little more than I was before.
In baby news I have my gender ultrasound on Friday. We're taking David so this should be interesting. He wants a brother. I also felt first movements today. I don't remember how far I was with David. I guess they aren't kidding about forgetting things during pregnancy. But I guess if we didn't forget things we might not get pregnant again. My OB said I would start feeling sooner but I don't remember since I can't remember last time.

WICHITA, Kan. — Sedgwick County sheriff's deputies were involved in an unusual chase over the weekend, involving a 12-year-old girl.
Just after 5 a.m. Sunday, May 18, someone called 911 to report they were following their black Cadillac Escalade, and that it was being driven by their daughter.
Deputies were dispatched and soon located the SUV near 47th Street and Broadway. They tried to pull it over but the driver refused to stop.
During the chase that followed, deputies learned that the driver was a 12-year-old girl and the pursuit was called off. The Escalade continued to the area of 47th Street South and Kessler, and hit a parked car before stopping about two blocks ahead.
The 12-year-old driver and a 13-year-old passenger were detained and released to the Wichita Police Department. No one was hurt

iPhone 5 parts caught on video?
Via Boy Genius Report, we've seen a video from a company called GlobalDirectParts which claims to show parts from the next-generation iPhone, or iPhone 5. The company's video shows several differences between the metal case of the current iPhone and the purported next-gen model. Most notably, the "break points" in the case (the black bands) have shifted position, presumably to address the iPhone 4's antenna attenuation issues.
The case design is not radically different compared to the iPhone 4, which could mean that rather than being a next-gen model, it's a slight "iPhone 4.5" redesign for the (supposedly) forthcoming Verizon model of iPhone 4. The case does have a cutout for a SIM card, however, which makes this a somewhat less likely proposition -- unless this "iPhone 4.5" is intended to be a universal GSM/CDMA phone. Naturally, the part could also either be an earlier prototype design or an outright fake.
It may seem early for possible iPhone 5 part leaks, but repair firm iResQ got hold of the iPhone 4's front faceplate as early as February of 2010. The similarities between this new case and the iPhone 4 case also gel with what I've suspected, that the iPhone 5 will most likely be a 3GS-style mini-update of the iPhone 4 rather than a major design shift. GlobalDirectParts claims to have details on this supposedly new iPhone's display and motherboard, too, and will be showing those off next week. In the meantime, click "Read More" and have a look at the video of the case.
Update: The video has been taken down due to a copyright claim from Apple. That certainly strikes out "fake Chinese knockoff" from the TUAW office betting pool. Now we're just wondering if this is an iPhone 5 or iPhone 4.5. Time will tell.

The 6-foot-tall, 200-pound bodybuilder took it all off last weekend for a photo shoot that will appear in the November issue of the men's magazine. The Amazonian Chyna ? who's also appeared as a guest star on 3rd Rock From the Sun and several other TV shows ? tells the WWF's web site that she's "very excited" and "very proud" to bare all for the Playboy camera.
"I think it's really ironic that a woman like me, who has promoted power and muscularity and sexuality all together, would then end up on the cover of the premiere men's magazine," she says. "I think it's a wonderful message. I've been working on my body for years and years and years, and to me it's sculpture and I want to show it."
It probably also won't hurt sales for Chyna's upcoming fitness video and autobiography, due out in stores this fall. The last WWF personality to strip for Playboy, Sable, enjoyed a sea of publicity after revealing all in the magazine.
"I think it's really new-millennium and it's very now and it gives people a chance to see something different," says Chyna. "Basically, the truth is I wanna get naked!"

Christopher Hawthorne Hates the Building, Loves April Greiman's Rice
Perpetually picky Christopher Hawthorne has hated on Lorcan O'Herlihy, gone out of his way to define ugly, compared Rem to Rove, and this week, trashes Arquitectonica's new project in LA. But maybe if he focused on reviewing gigantic public art installations, he would be a lot happier. Because this week, even though he despised the building it straddles, he sure loved April Greiman's rice bowl:
What caught my attention first was a huge, brightly colored mural by April Greiman, which covers two ends of the building as they converge at the corner and shows an abstracted rice bowl. The whole ensemble — broad-shouldered, street-hugging architecture meets gigantic work of art — struck me as both full of and larger than life.
We dunno, we say he's got a second career as a graphic design critic. We wish we could say the same about a few commenters who give their two cents about the mural in the feedback section. Like this one: "Long-time residents are being shoved out of their homes and on to the sidewalks, begging for fair and affordable housing. Is that what the 'abstracted rice bowl' is supposed to symbolize?"

The 20 enjoyable, interactive classroom activities that are included will help your students understand the text in amusing ways. Fun Classroom Activities include group projects, games, critical thinking activities, brainstorming sessions, writing poems, drawing or sketching, and more that will allow your students to interact with each other, be creative, and ultimately grasp key concepts from the text by "doing" rather than simply studying.
1. Art
Choose a medium, such as sculpture, painting, sketching, or another form to create a representation of one of the people mentioned in The Cage. When complete, students should share artwork with the class and discuss why this person was significant.
2. Journalist
Imagine that you are a journalist living during part of Riva's life and write about what was happening during this time, such as the rise of the Nazis, wearing yellow stars, socialist movements, life in the ghettos, and concentration camps. Students should write...

MP Apologizes to Piers Morgan For Hacking Claim
U.K. MP Louise Mensch has apologized to CNN anchor Piers Morgan over claims she made in parliament saying that Morgan admitted to getting a scoop by phone hacking. Mensch made the comments during the Parliamentary hearings with James Murdoch and Rupert Murdoch. As she acknowledged in her formal apology, she confused what was written in a news item for what Morgan claimed.
In my questions to Rupert and James Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks, I wrongly stated that Piers Morgan, formerly editor of the Daily Mirror, had been open about personally hacking phones in a book he wrote. This was based on my misreading of an article in the Daily Telegraph published on the 13th July, which covered Mr. Morgan's description in his book of how to hack a phone and how he won the Scoop of the Year on the story of Sven-Goran Eriksson and Ulrika Johnson. The Telegraph report covers the claim of a blogger that this story was acquired by phone hacking, and I misread that as Mr. Morgan himself claiming this to be true.Therefore, I must apologise to Mr. Morgan and the Committee for this error about his book.

I'm in a period of some turmoil in my life. I'm working several avenues for a shift in employment, I'm debating moving within the next five months, and I'm possibly going to be out of the state for much of April and May. This morning was sort of a confluence of all of those things. And I started looking back on the last 12 months. Considering how 2012 started, I'm actually amazed at how many good things have happened since last spring.
- Launched and revamped a website that has been more successful than I ever expected. Considering I created MSP Street Food because I was tired of being asked about where the trucks were today, I'm excited so many people are looking for food trucks every day. Traffic is already up from last year and it's only April. Cannot wait to see what the summer brings.
- Participated in the Overnight Website Challenge.
- Joined the Uptown Market board
- Found a pretty cool girlfriend who is still putting up with me.
- Became Chair for of the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra Tech Committee
- Dug into a crazy complex project at work and am getting to the tail end of the initial steps.
- Had my entire family come visit me and kept them entertained for most of a week even though it was 100 degrees the entire time.
- Actually saved my tax return instead of blowing it on something I didn't actually need.
- Published a project on Github. Which means someone else might actually use code I wrote for a project.
- Became 90% more proficient with jQuery.
- Made plans to collaborate on a project with two other developers who are always doing cool things.
- Successfully went without beer for a month. Learned that I'm allergic to hops(ok this wasn't a fun thing but it was a good thing)
- Went home for Christmas. And my parents bought a new house last week so that means next year we can all stay with them. Very exciting.
- Reached a savings goal on time for the first time ever.
- Finally figured out what I want to do for the foreseeable future. This is the biggest one. And even though I haven't gotten to the point where I get paid to do it, knowing the answer is amazing. Of course I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. But hey, little steps right.
So yeah, it's been a good 12 months. Where is that champagne?

Still too far: The contraception 'compromise'
Under the newly proposed rules, as under the original, churches are exempt. But other religiously based employers, such as church hospitals and Catholic universities, are not. These employers do not have to directly offer the mandated coverage through their own insurance. Rather, their insurer will offer a separate policy that covers only contraception, abortifacient drugs, etc. The insurers are to be reimbursed through a discount on what they pay to participate in the federal health insurance exchanges mandated by Obamacare, USA Today reported.
So these religious employers will not provide the coverage through their insurance premiums; they will fund it through their taxes (how else to subsidize the discount insurers will receive?). Also, individual employers whose businesses are not explicitly religious in nature will still have no relief. They will have to violate their faith by directly providing coverage for procedures they object to on religious grounds. Do not be surprised when this proposal does not halt the more than 40 lawsuits filed against the administration over this issue.

Hush-Harbor Artisan Bakery & Cafe Restaurant Review: This artisan bakery is best known for its spot-on crusty baguettes, flaky croissants and chewy ciabatta rolls, but the café menu has gained a popular following as well. (Keep in mind that the bakery is the primary business, so sometimes food service can be a tad slow.) The casual offerings include hearty salads such as raspberry-chipotle chicken and Cobb, and it's obviously hard to go wrong with any of the sandwiches thanks to the oven-fresh bread. Favorites include the veggie delight, French dip and the Cuban, which started as one of the daily specials and quickly found a spot on the regular menu. Dinner dishes, though limited, might include everything from prime rib to pasta, and for Saturday breakfast, check out the quiche selection or tuck into Big D's Benedict served on a croissant. Beer and wine are available, and if you're lucky, dessert choices will include a big slice of flaky-crusted pie.

If most married women possessed as much prudence as they do vanity, we should find many husbands far happier.Belknap
Feminism has transformed the lives and aspirations of the majority of women in ways unmeasurable by statistics... raising women's intellectual,economic and political expectations, increasing intolerance of wife beating, rape and other violence against women, redefining women's sexuality.Linda Gordon
Feminism is the political theory and practice that struggles to free all women: women of color, working-class women, poor women, disabled women, lesbians, old women-as well as white, economically privileged, heterosexual women.Barbara Smith
The first principle of full feminism is the simple equality of men and women. And it is an erroneous principle. For here nature steps in and forbids its achievement.Correa Moylan Walsh
One of the reasons for the failure of feminism to dislodge deeply held perceptions of male and female behaviour was its insistence that women were victims, and men powerful patriarchs, which made a travesty of ordinary people's experience of the mutual interdependence of men and women.Rosalind Coward
Feminism is hated because women are hated. Anti-feminism is a direct expression of misogyny; it is the political defense of women hating.Andrea Dworkin
Feminism is a program for making different beings -- men and women -- turn out alike, and ... it must do a good deal of chopping to fit the real world into its ideal.Michael Levin
Whether women are better than men I cannot say - but I can say they are certainly no worse.Golda Meir
The magic of sex is itís acquisition without the burden of possessions. No matter how many women you take home, thereís no storage problem.Chuck Palahniuk
When men reach their sixties and retire, they go to pieces. Women go right on cooking.Gail Sheehy
Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.Oscar Wilde
When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking.Elayne Boosler
Women complain about premenstrual syndrome, but I think of it as the only time of the month that I can be myself.Roseanne
Whatever women must do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.Charlotte Whitton
Women are the foundation of a society, but remember who laid them!Unknown
Women really do rule the world. They just haven't figured it out yet. When they do, and they will, we're all in big big trouble.Unknown
A woman can defend her virtue from men much more easily than she can protect her reputation from womenElbert Hubbard
For the night shows stars and women in a better light.Lord Byron
Women will forgive anything. Otherwise, the race would have died out long ago.Robert A. Heinlein
You won't regret the men you never killed, but you will regret the women you passed up.Bernard Cornwell
I found that the men and women who got to the top were those who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had of energy and enthusiasm and hard work.Harry S. Truman

MARK TRENTESEAUX: Hello. My name is Mark Trenteseaux.
CAREY: Hey Mark, where you from?
TRENTESEAUX: Wakefield, Rhode Island.
CAREY: Oh, all the way from Rhode Island. What do you do in Rhode Island?
TRENTESEAUX: I help run my family's company and I'm also a writer.
CAREY: Oh really? What kind of stuff do you write?
TRENTESEAUX: Working on screenplays.
CAREY: Oh, good for you. We have a couple of bloggers here, so you guys probably have a lot in common.
TOM BODETT: Our Fortresses of Solitude.
CAREY: Welcome to the show, Mark. Now, Carl Kasell is going to read you three news-related limericks, with the last word or phrase missing from each one.
CAREY: If you can fill in that last word or phrase correctly on two limericks, you're a winner. Here's your first limerick.
CARL KASELL: Quoth Ahab while raising the sail, "Who dares to proclaim, 'epic fail'?" The shipmates say, Sir, we sailors concur, the one you heard speak was the?
TRENTESEAUX: Gosh, I don't know.
CAREY: Sail, fail.
TRENTESEAUX: Whale.
CAREY: Whale. Yes, you got it, whale.
CAREY: Researchers in California recently released tape of a Beluga whale named NOC making human sounds. NOC taught himself to mimic speech - something that no other beluga whale had done on its own. Here's what he sounds like.
CAREY: Yes, apparently NOC also learned how to play the kazoo.
KYRIE O'CONNOR: I love that it's so clearly mockery.
BRIAN BABYLON: Yeah, he sounds wasted.
CAREY: Here's your next limerick.
KASELL: My love life's a galaxy's far speck and dates are a bit of a car wreck. My final frontier is to find a mate here. So dates, for me, focus on?
TRENTESEAUX: Dates for me focus on...
CAREY: Galaxy, final frontier.
TRENTESEAUX: Space.
Trek, trek, trek.
CAREY: Star Trek, yes. Star Trek.
CAREY: A new website has been created to allow trekkies to boldly go where we're pretty sure they've never gone before.
CAREY: On a date. Trekkiedating.com connects Star Trek fans with other real life human beings, possibly of the other sex. It's a great, much needed resource, except when you consider there's already a trekkie dating site called the internet.
BABYLON: I don't know, man, that sounds - I'll try it out.
CAREY: OK, here's your last limerick.
KASELL: Check out creepy motel stay dot org. So much death for one place to absorb. Premium cable, dissecting table. A hostel that once was a?
TRENTESEAUX: Morgue.
CAREY: Yes, morgue.
CAREY: Yeah, just in time for Halloween. Tasmanian hotelier Hadyn Pearce, he's transformed a 1950s morgue named Willow Court into world's first morgue hotel. Guests sleep on the original concrete slabs, and have access to pullout fridges, perfect for storing food, vodka, and their vital organs.
CAREY: It has all the amenities. You can get room service delivered to your drawer.
CAREY: You can get your suits pressed and slit up the back, and when you want privacy, you just hang a "Do not disturb" sign from your big toe.
CAREY: You know Tom a good slogan for this place would be "We'll leave your head on for you."
BODETT: Yeah.
CAREY: Tom, you want to give that a shot?
BODETT: The Deep Six Morgue Hotel, we'll leave your head on for you.
BODETT: OK, there goes the job.
CAREY: Carl, how did Mark do?
KASELL: Mark had three correct answers. So Mark, I'll be doing the message on your answering machine or voicemail.
CAREY: Oh Mark, thank you, Mark.
TRENTESEAUX: Thank you.
CAREY: Take it easy.
