You are a GRAMMAR GOD!

If your mission in life is not already to preserve the English tongue, it should be.
Congratulations and thank you!

If you’re looking for my wife, Melissa, her email address is msells@sellsbrothers.com. Her email is pretty reliable now, so send her some! It makes her so happy…

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Joel and Beth Howie are online again. Drop them a line.

Another friend of mine since grade school, Pete Clark, is just coming off his hiatus recovering from a dot-bomb and spending time with his new child. He is now the principle in pclark.net Consulting, LLC.

If you live in Portland, OR and you’d like to get together for breakfast with a group of “congenial nerds,” check out the Nerd Breakfast Home Page. I like to get there myself when I’m not traveling (or sleeping in : ).

This just in!  Matt Pietrek’s wife took this pic of (left to right), Don Box, me and Matt Pietrek. Sorry about the lack of a smile. I was having a lot of fun hanging out at Matt’s house that day, but can never manage to smile for the camera. BTW, ask me to tell you how all of us spent hours debugging a screensaver that day…

Tracey Friend is an MS recruiter and she called to talk to me about some stuff I’m working on that could attract some fresh meat (and she also told me some stuff that sent shivers up my spine, but that’s another story : ).

Tracey was very friendly, just like all of the MS recruiters that I’ve met. In fact, MS recruiters are getting so friendly, that now HR is blogging. What’s next? Giving away the source? : )

Don “XML” worked a little PhotoShop magic on a poster for a movie that I loved growing up (it was one of two record albums I had and I listened to it over and over and over):

When I’m having fun with the Sells brothers, I like to tell them that I don’t have two boys, but rather one boy and one redundant backup in case one of them needs “erasing.” I have never told which of them is which, however, ’cuz I like to tortune them (hey! I paid for ’em!)

I would if Chris J. Sells in Beaverton, OR or Chris D. Sells in Dallas, TX is the redundant one…
