Hi. I'm a web developer programming mostly in asp.net, using VB.net. I've been working on asp/asp.net for about 9 years now, and have been at the same company since May, 1999. When I started working here, I was a mainframe programmer using COBOL, CICS, and JCL. After a year of working on the mainframe, I got my first taste of web development when I was asked to help build a demo portal for

"What matters more, it seems, is graduates' personal drive. In a surprising twist, a stronger predictor of income is the caliber of the schools that reject you. Researchers found students who applied to several elite schools but didn't attend them—presumably because many were rejected—are more likely to earn high incomes later than students who actually attended elite schools." -- Sue

Entrepreneurship, the kind that creates industries and jobs on the scale we'll need in the next century, is about two things: Ideas that spring randomly from some slightly crazed dreamer's head; and worse, they often get filthy rich if the dreams are real. The left likes neither. -- Daniel Henninger, The Wall Street Journal

After seeing a few blogs with race schedules and talking to Mere, I've decided to post my planned race schedule for 2009. It's not as ambitious as it was in 2005/2007 in terms of number of races when I did 7 and 6 triathlons, a couple 10 milers each year and a marathon thrown in there. It does, however, surpas the ambition in terms of number of long course races with 2 races at 140.6 miles, 2

So, for a while now, I've been experiencing periodic foot pain when I run. It's been going on for years. When it first started happening, I was doing my running around the indoor track at Bally's on Duke St. The feeling was more of a tightness of the shoes and the toes going numb. I'd loosen the shoes and that would help. Then, I got fitted in the right pair of shoes at Fleet Feet or Metro

My advantage is I was a competitive swimmer before. You can learn how to bike when you are older, but you never really learn how to swim. I myself was relatively old when started competitive swimming. I was 15; this is why I will never be a really good swimmer in competitive swimming. But you have to take care of all three disciplines and work on your speed. With a year of endurance training you

It depends on what you are capable of. If you are Cam Brown, Cam Brown cannot win from the bike. Sindballe can only win from the bike. He needs 15 minutes if he wants to win it. So it depends on what kind of athlete you are. As I said before, for me, I have the idea of the perfect athlete -- the one who is trying hard in every discipline. He doesn't wait. He attacks from the beginning. He tries

As you know, I've been doing triathlons for several years now. Since my first triathlon in 2001, every year I've done at least one race whose entry fee goes 100% towards a charitable cause. Since 2005, I've also raised funds for a charity as part of a training team or as an extension of the funds raised by the race or I've designated my own fundraising cause.

Our success has not been a continual series of victories. We have had a number of devastating setbacks; how these are handled is the making of a great team... winning does not happen in straight lines. -- Clive Woodward, after leading England to Rugby World Cup victory Support my fund raising efforts for National Rehabilitation Hospital If that link doesn't work copy and paste: http://

Today, we live in a digital world. Many of our most valuable assets are online, traded virtually. As a result, communities with broadband access grow employment at a significantly higher rate. And yet today, the United States, the country that developed the Internet, ranks 12th in broadband penetration and 15th in average broadband speed. This is unacceptable if we want our nation to compete in

It was agonizing to watch Kastor's last 3 miles, which makes you wonder what it felt like from her vantage point. Watching the TV coverage in the press room, we could see her legs and back tighten, we could note that the turnover had slowed, we could count the tick-tick-tick of the infernal stopwatch that casts such a heavy pall over marathoners, particularly the elites who are shooting for

Each and every day you know that somewhere in that evening's main set, he (pain personified) will be waiting for you--looming. Go after him. Look him right in the eyes, and don't back down. Do not be fooled by the look on his face that he has your number--it's a façade. He's a paper tiger. Blow right through him. You'll find that within 150 to 300 yards you've driven through to the other side for

James Pearson is on my triathlon team and is participating in the Cadence Kona Challenge (http://www.cadencekonachallenge.com/), which started with over 100 participants and was whittled down to 6 finalists. All six finalists have been training for Ironman in Lake Placid in July, with a chance to qualify for Ironman World Championships in Hawaii. The catch, though, is that there are only 2

That's right Meredith, I stole your title. In my case, it's even more true. Looking back at my blogs, my last post was all the way back on February 28. That's just so pathetic. I mean, what kind of excuse can I really have. I have none. So, what have I been up to these past several months. Well, I took a Java class as a prerequisite for Virginia Tech's Masters of Information Technology (

Hi boys and girls. Been a really long time, I see. I'm back. I promise this time I'll do a better job updating here. Though, I'm sure hardly anyone even reads this. Had a good swim practice today. I swam the 15 minute warm up with my fins on plus the 800 swim/kick/tarzan/swim set. I HATE kicking. But, with the fins on, I had to lead the lane. With fins, it's tough to make sure I'm not

Was really a Savage weekend? Did it really live up to all the hype? Yes, and yes. It started out tame enough, though. I got up early and got to work by 7, so that I could head over to Mere's by 3:30 and get on the road as early as possible. I left work a skosh early. We were able to be on the road by 4/4:15 and hit traffic just on the other side of the American Legion Bridge. Since there

I have a Savage weekend planned ahead. I will be taking part on a triathlon relay team in the Savageman Triathlon. My leg is the swim leg, which is 1.2 miles and I will be swimming in beautiful Deep Creek Lake. The race is Sunday, but the entire weekend will be busy. We are heading up after work today to Deep Creek, Maryland tonight after work, where we will be sharing a house amongst several

Hey all, It's been quite a while since I've last updated this blog. I am going to start updating this at least once a week. Since I've changed the title from CDA centric to more personal centric, these post will not necessarily be all about triathlon training, racing, and race reports. Though most of it will be. It may also meander through random thoughts, Hokie sports, and the world at
