Yesterday I had the sheer joy of having a “business meeting” with my co-workers back in Kansas City. At least, that is what I called it when our manager walked by. I was advised to install my webcam so that such a meeting could actually occur, and Adam Spriggs endured about 15 minutes [...]

Joedonahue.org has been dormant these last couple months as I have migrated my blog from one web host to another, and tonight it is finally up and running.

These past couple of weeks have been quite eventful, and I have put off writing a post for so long that nothing will receive very much attention, but it will be fun to recap anyway.
Julie and I had the joy of attending the Toby Mac concert in Raytown last week. It has been since Switchfoot [...]

Dear Programmer,
I just bought a new Gateway laptop.  It came with Microsoft Office, and today it expired!  I didn’t realize it was a trial, and now I am in trouble.  I am a student, and need to write a paper for my class! What do I do?
