Long time....

It's been a long time since I've posted to my blog. Quite a bit has happened, too. In December, I graduated from Utah State University with a degree in Computer Science. I graduated Cum Laude, which is pretty good all things considered. In November or sometime around there, I got a new job at the same place I had been working. It's in a different department, and it will be interesting to see how things turn out. I started working full time towards the end of December, and have been working ever since. In February, I bought a house. It's a 5 bedroom, 2 bath house that's about 5 years old. It's fairly nice. I also bought an Onkyo theatre system and a 51" Toshiba HDTV. That's been enjoyable, but I've been trying to spend a little more time reading and riding my exercise bike, so I haven't watched it as much as I would've thought. I was in Salt Lake to see some friends this weekend, and bought several books, an Italian cookbook, 2 South Beach diet books, and 2 computer hacker type books. One was the latest book from Kevin Mitnick, "The Art of Intrusion". It's been interesting, but I feel that some of these "hackers" weren't quite as savvy as some people would believe. Shame they can't focus on something positive.
