He has been struggling with a rare disease primary amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (cardiac amyloidosis), a disease that drastically shortened his […]
My new webpage!
My Webpage: http://www.stridera.com/ With a little help from OSWD, I have put up a decent webpage (in my opinion). I’ve edited the katana image some as well, but when I viewed it at work it looked all crappy. (Anyone who uses Internet Explorer, just don’t go… get a real browser and check it then. 🙂 […]
Resume and random stuff
So, since I nobody has responded to my resume, I guess it’s good enough to send out. I’ve put it up on craigslist at someones suggestions, and have no idea how well it’ll work. We’ll see. Still, if anyone has any suggestions or advice, please comment. Work has been exausting lately. 12 hour shifts always […]
September 11
On the anniversary of the most deadly attack on U.S. soil, everyone is talking about the lives that were lost in New York. They played taps on base and everyone stopped and saluted the flag. Sometimes I am impressed with the military and how they show honor and respect. These were a lot of innocent […]
My Resume
If you have some spare time, please give suggestions on my resume… and no calls at 3am please. 🙂 Also, this one was geared for Google (obviously) that I quickly threw formatting on to show a friend. The objective changes per job I apply for. http://stridera.com/resume.html

Webpage Header
So, I spent the last hour working on this image for my webpage. That is, I took pictures of my katana, added the ‘etching’ and all that jazz, and I realize more and more that I suck at anything artsy. Any ideas on how to make it not suck? Or, should I just give up […]
The night I died
Staff Sergeant Jones, whom goes by the alias Strider, or StriderA, has died due to a fatal gunshot wound to the chest on Thursday, Aug 30. Luckily, since we used blanks and an advance version of laser tag, death was only a temporary affair… but I’ll get to that in a moment. So yea, Eagle […]
Hope
Soo.. yea…. um.. yea.. Long time no see, eh? Well, I’m finished with school (for a few weeks) and work has be considerably easier since I’ve been doing the weekend shift thing. Yes, it’s 12 hour shifts on the weekends (which is something I’m not altogether unused to) but they’re giving me three days off […]

Per the email: Beginning in the fall 2007 semester, the program will become a specialization under the MS in information technology degree. So… I go […]
