Not all dates need dinner reservations.
Where it started
Date 1.0

Sushi + Smashing Pumpkins

Charlotte

Neo Sushi. Smashing Pumpkins. A first kiss. A pretty good opening act.

A little more to the story

The first big adventure together. Dinner, very loud music, and something worth doing again.

Pegboard, Part One

Winston-Salem area

A basement ceiling, a saw, zip ties, and ’90s music. An unexpectedly excellent second date.

Trying to keep the pegboard up and the innuendo down.

The LINQ Release

Winston-Salem area ·

Thursday morning. A few errands, a little cleaning, a little kissypoo. The framework is getting useful.

A little more to the story

.NET 3.5 brought LINQ. Our 3.5 brought a very good morning. A small version number with a lot going for it.

errands + affectiona useful little update

03 / A small shared vocabulary

Things we apparently say.

It made sense at the time.
Tap a scrap for context.

dork + nerd

A perfectly reasonable combination.

Date 3.5

Some mornings deserve a minor release.

Wedding Day Fugglers. A tooth ring. An object, not an announcement.

06 / The alternate-universe wing

Things that never happened,
but should have.

Artist’s impression
of a questionable idea

A home for AI-made oddities. Reality has its limitations.

No photographic evidence. For fairly obvious reasons.

07 / Pencilled in, not written in stone

And then, maybe…

A few things we’d like to do.
Let’s see where we end up.

Lexington

Saturday afternoon at the Lexington Barbecue Festival. More adventure. Probably barbecue.

Just the Two of Us

A Monday morning couples massage. Somehow, even the scheduling came with a soundtrack.

Kannapolis

A possible concert, a possible next adventure. Not confirmed. Fun to think about.

Charlotte

Some things belong here. Some things belong only to us.
