Do you remember the days when a loved one is engrossed doing a crossword puzzle and they would occassionaly interrupt you to ask you a question? Do you know the capital for a certain country which is five letters long and it starts with a "B"? When someone asks me a question like that, I wonder who takes their time to create such brain teasers. Do these "crossword creaters" just say, "let there be this crossword puzzle", or take 2 years crafting clues to their crossword answers? I finally met someone who answered my question. This person actually works with me and creates crosswords which have been published in New York Times , Washington Post , USAToday , Los Angeles Times , etc., and etc., He generates his crossword puzzles with a J2EE program which he wrote. That's pretty awesome! Technology to create entertaining crosswords.

I have been enjoying my commute to work lately. It's a beautiful drive from New Market, Maryland (MD) to Chantilly, Virginia (VA) . I drive by wineries, small towns and beautiful pastures. This is a quite the contrast from the everyday bustle of the Washington, DC beltway. It's a pleasant drive. Sure it has its bad days but overall it's quite good. Am I getting spoiled? Maybe but I did get an email (spam) from TooSpoiled.com for a Customer Service Representative position. I don't know where they got my resume but I am J2EE developer/data architect. Anyway their site is a riot. They also need to mine their resumes better.
