What a jerk!
This guy is a real creep. This "Software Engineer" used his position to rip data from his company's systems and sell it for $100,000.
Quite honestly, he sold it too cheap! Because he just sold out every software engineer at any company with a legal department. He just gave everyone a reason to not trust the people they work with, and to make our jobs harder. We are now going to have to jump through formalism, and bureaucracy to serve our clients needs, because one guy broke the code in such a stupid way. He got $100k for all the pain and misery we all are going to have to go through. And his buddy already made his money back and more
Way to go, A-hole! While I feel for you going to jail, I'm not overly sympathetic.

Shiny New Toy
June is the Month of Lori's and my birthdays as well as father's day. It seems a bunch of stuff has appeared in our lives this month. I won't apologize for it, but it might be a little extreme. My in-laws gave us a new dishwasher which is much better/quieter/etc... than the old one.
And Lori let me go out and buy a new car. I hope her uncle will forgive me for not buying it from him in Pittsburgh, but I didn't want to have to get it all the way home:

My friend is moving away...
{backdated}My friend, Mike, has accepted a new job in Ohio. He's excited to bring his family closer to their extended family and grow some new roots in a place they hope feels more like home. He suprised me and most of our mutual friends and coworkers.
I'm sure I will spend plenty of time saying farewell to him at lunches, happy hours, and maybe I'll even get a round of golf in before he moves on.
The strangest part of learning about this has been our kids. Lori and I benefitted from watching Mike and Maggie survive their twin boys first few years before Maura was born. It was an invaluable experience and we are grateful to have been a part of their family life. I stopped Lori from mentioning it to Maura the other day. The way she follows the boys around, its almost puppy love. I get a little choked up thinking about Maura missing her big boyfriends. When she understands it will likely be fine, I think the worst part is my own imagination of her perspective.
Blah Blah Blah.... Good luck, we'll miss you, thank you for everything.
