Today marks 3 years that I’m been wed to my beautiful wife. It has been an action packed 3 years that alternates between feeling like the blink of an eye and an absolute eternity – we’ve gotten married, built a house, had 2 kids (ok, so SHE did that part but I helped with the breathing stuff, honest), and even managed to fall in love on a daily basis. It has been the happiest time of my life and I look forward to spending the rest of it with her.
THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU.

Wow, I just saw that I’m on the “Fastest Growing WordPress.com Blogs” list at #6. Generally I get between 30-40 hits daily, mostly friends and family as well as a few disappointed folks who think that they’re stumbling upon the personal blog of the “other” David O’Hara 
, but yesterday I got 70+. And I know what did it – BlogMad.
If you haven’t noticed the little badge to the right, I’ve signed up to participate in the beta. It went “live” yesterday and hence the spike in traffic. I’ve got to say that I’ve enjoyed surfing around and seeing the sites of the other participants and I’ve even grabbed a few for future reading. If you’re interested in getting in on the BlogMad craze, drop me a note and I’ll get you an invite.
UPDATE: Well, I made it to #5 today (March 7th).
UPDATE: Woohoo!! I hit #1. Many thank to my fellow BlogMad folks. I know it was you.

Here’s my Newsvine seed. Wow, now I’ve got to get the latest download off of MSDN and upgrade our test install.

Sometimes I wish I was a mathematician – especially after watching Numb3rs. Sadly, I’m nowhere near where I would have to be in my math skills to make a living at it (I guess that makes me a pseudo-dork) but I find occasional forays into some of the deeper concepts quite challenging and interesting. That being said, there have always been things that have eluded me and I was at a loss for where to start.
Enter “Drunk Uncle Stevey”…his article points out why math is so difficult for a number of folks and how to go about correcting it. Math doesn’t have to be scary. It doesn’t even have to be HARD. And Stevey gives you a great way to (re)teach yourself math in a much more enjoyable and practical way.

I only thought it only right to wish my readership (all three of you) a Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Please raise a pint with me in this great (only?) Irish holiday.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled static…
