A lot has happened

So a lot has happened since my last post. I really need to post more often. First thing first, I found out that I can take graduate classes at UMD without being enrolled in the graduate school. I am going to try and take classes next semester.

I got an invitation to tryout a Google Wave preview on Monday and so far it is amazing. It is convenient using a combined Email and IM but it is also an amazing work collaboration tool. Art and I are going to look into developing our own apps. I really believe that this is the future of Email and IM.

I am playing WoW now and thanks to Art and Heather I have raised my Paladin to lvl 60.

Sports
The Redskins finally got a win last week. Hopefully we can make it to .500 this year. If we win out we can make the playoffs. I know that is wishful thinking but I am a Redskins fan I don't know anything else.

My fantasy football teams are struggling. The two in the Yahoo Public League are lost and the one in the Keeper League is fledgling. I did manage to win last week in the Keeper league so right now I am sitting in the last playoff seed. My team has had a lot of injuries though and my Keeper RB's have officially been busts.

First post in a long time

I voted today for Creigh Deeds and every other Democrat running in the Virginia election today. The past few weekends I have gone down to Norfolk to watch my brother play football. He plays for Norfolk State University as a wide receiver. This weekend I am going to my friend Andrew Bell's wedding.

The Redskins have been struggling a lot since the last post. They seem to have lost their direction and there is a lot of confusion in upper level management. There are too many holes to fix and it looks like it will take years in order to fix all of the problems with the team. I just hope that permanent damage hasn't been done to the fan base because of the poor performance on and off the field.

Fantasy has been an equal disaster this year. The difference is though that I can recover much easier in those leagues. I had a tough loss two weeks ago to the worst team in the league and I lost this past week to a strong team. I just want to make the playoffs in that league.
