I gave a speech this evening. Yeah, it amazes me too that I am asked to talk about stuff– like digital simulation prototype stuff. If anything, I realize it doesn’t take much to be considered an expert. As long as you’re willing to speak in front of a group and can pussyfoot around certain topics (like the details) you’re good to go, Mr/Ms Expert!

This evening I updated Donnaville and Rob’s two Web pages to WordPress 2.5. I was overjoyed that the update didn’t blow out any of the themes. There’s a new feature which allows you to embed a image gallery into a post. I can’t seem to get it to work. The images come in at full size and not as thumbnails. I suppose eventually I’ll find the answer in the support forums.

This evening I’ve been watching Tyler Perry’s House of Payne. I am finding it oddly entertaining. I was really shocked to see the actress Anne-Marie Johnson playing a grandmother. She was one of my favorite characters on one of my favorite 80’s sitcoms. Do you remember Double Trouble? It was on TV around 1984? It starred Peg Bundy’s twin sisters as… twin sisters. Anne-Marie was Allison’s friend at design school who was always giving her advice that started, “Like my Momma ALWAYS say…” Yeah, I think she was supposed to be Caribbean. Looking back now her character seems a little cartoonish. Later she went on to star as Raj’s wife in the What’s Happening sequel, What’s Happening Now? I lost track of her after that series. It’s strange to see her again. I would love to see Jonathan Schmock and James Vallely again– they were also on Double Trouble. They played these zany guys who were always doing zany things with Jean and Allison. Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I have gone on this long about Double Trouble. I worry about myself sometimes.
