Welcome back to Oreganet! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
As 2024 draws to a close, it’s time to look back on the year. Check out some pictures from our 2024 photo gallery.
It was a big year for Colby, who graduated from high school. Colby is now working towards a computer science degree at the local community college. He loves programming and likes all of the college level computer classes. Colby still works at Freddy’s Steakburgers, working mostly at the front counter, drive-thru, and cold line (where they make shakes).
Happy graduation!
Our daughter (who asked for website redactions this year, see TheOtherOne) is doing well. She’s a sophomore in high school, studies hard, and is involved in several clubs including Future Business Leaders of America and French Club. She’s already thinking about a future in business. She spends her spare time writing songs and playing video games, or if the weather is nice, she still likes to rollerblade on the driveway. She just got her drivers permit and has started learning to drive.
Wayne changed jobs again. The job at Penn Color wasn’t a fit, so he’s now moved to Rogers Corporation. He’s only been there a few weeks. Outside of the job activity, he did a lot of home rennovation work this year on our second place in Tennessee.
My work at Cornelis Networks continues at a dizzying pace. I’m still doing technical program management for the ASIC and platform engineering teams (along with design reviews, sustainability work, and other random activities). We’re preparing to launch the new CN5000 product line in a few months and are busy working on planning and developing the next generation products in our roadmap. Outside of work, I enjoy reading and watching DVDs. For books, currently I’m working on a mystery novel set in the time of Julius Ceasar, Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling, and Don Quixote. Our latest movie marathons include Picard, The Orville, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and Wednesday.

We continued more family visits this year, but this time it was a trip to visit Barry in the UK. That was our big trip of the year. Other activities included Tennessee visits, assorted car events, and sightseeing around the area.
Happy New Year! Best wishes for 2025!
