As many people already know, Lauren and I were married this past July 4th. It was quite an amazing experience that I will cherish and remember for the rest of my life! I fully intend to put pictures up and write more about it soon, but have had little time recently to organize everything and write a good, long blog post about it. It’s coming… I’ll not forget to fill everyone who couldn’t be there in on the festivities… it’ll just have to wait a few more days.
Welcome to my web siteMy name is Geoffrey Kerr and I created this web site to be a combination working resume, project tracker, photo gallery, web log, and personal web space on the Internet. A brief introduction to myself: I have a Masters of Science degree in Computer Engineering and will be working for a large defense contractor in Tucson, AZ. Being a Comp. E., I'm extremely interested in computers, the hardware that is behind them, and the software that ties the computer systems together. My focus, as an engineer, is embedded systems; the design of hardware and software to perform specified tasks. Aside from computers, I'm interested in music, movies, good books, and modern technology. This web site is an opened window into my life. The articles I write are a peek into my thoughts and what interests me. Enjoy your visit and come back as often as you like. |
Our Wedding: Updates are on their way…
Posted by Geoff Kerr on July 23rd, 2008 at 12:07 AMThe quest for our Wii has finally come to an end!
Posted by Geoff Kerr on July 22nd, 2008 at 11:07 PMAfter being greatly disappointed that every store in Tucson and all of the reputable online stores were sold out of Wii’s all last week, Lauren and I tried one last-ditch effort to find one this past weekend. We were quite lucky that, on Saturday evening, one of the clerks at Target tipped us off that they “may” be getting around 10 in that night for release on Sunday and that we should check the adds in the paper to be sure.

Sorry, Wii Don’t Have Any…
Posted by Geoff Kerr on July 18th, 2008 at 02:07 PMSo, after playing with our friend Jenny’s Mom’s Wii the other day, Lauren and I decided that we wanted to buy one. Unfortunately, every single store that sells them in Tucson and on the web are currently sold out. Though it was released close to two years ago, these suckers are still quite hard to find. Who’d have thunk?
I guess Lauren and I will have to wait to see who’s really better at boxing for a little while longer (she wiped the floor with me last time we played).
House Hunt Put On Hold
Posted by Geoff Kerr on June 8th, 2008 at 12:06 PMAfter a few weeks of looking at houses online and in person, I’ve put my house hunt on hold. A number of factors are at work in this decision, including delusional pricing by home sellers and not having 20% to put down to save myself from exorbitant insurance rates. We’ll pick up again after having another year of saving and see where we are at with everything. Hopefully the housing market will be significantly more sane by then.
Useful Links: Arizona’s Sex Offender List
Posted by Geoff Kerr on June 1st, 2008 at 01:06 PMWhen thinking about moving into an area, you should always have as much information about that area as possible. That includes knowing if there could potentially be a risk of having a Sex Offender living near by. Arizona provides a way to see if there are any higher-risk sex offenders near an address on their Sex Offender InfoCenter website. As always, use that information carefully.
