On July 20, the family crossed over the border back into the US after attending Samantha’s grandmother’s funeral in Toronto. It had been a great weekend, a chance to get reacquainted with Samantha’s extended family and introduce the boys to some of these folks.
We crossed the border at the Peace Bridge, and got an Immigration [...]

Back in Alberta. Back with my Tribe.
In: Life
20 Jun 2008My grandmother died a few months back, and while this was indeed a very sad day for all of us, she left on her own terms, and with her mind intact, facing the next adventure with grace and dignity.
What this sad event did is provide a focus for the entire Pierzchala clan to reconvene for [...]
The fading of blogging
13 Apr 2008Through 2007, the number of posts I made per day/week/month decreased steadily. I know post new items 2-3 items a month, or less. After 2 years of steady entries, I just didn’t have anything to add to the conversation.
Having been an A-list groupie for this entire period, I lost touch with the self-perpetuating scene. A [...]

3 Nov 2007Part of the problem with making a lot of East to West trips across the US is that the flights back are a nightmare for timing. You either lose most of a day or have to take a red-eye.
Well, taking the red-eye has only one advantage: you get to camp in the airline lounge and [...]
Boston Globe: "Why Facebook went West"
In: RANTING
9 Sep 2007In today’s Boston Globe, there is an article discussing why Facebook went to the Valley instead of staying in the Boston area (article online).
Having now lived in both areas for nearly equal amounts of time, I can tell you that there are substantial differences between them. People from Boston may violently disagree, but I have found [...]
GrabPERF: Content! Watch your content!
In: GrabPERF
9 Aug 2007Last night, I got motivated.
Ok, I got manic. Goes with my life.
As a part of that mania, I had a breakthrough on how to present GrabPERF data that I’ve actually been collecting for nearly a year: text match failures.
GrabPERF has the ability to match text on page results using a standard PERL regex. By putting [...]
GREEN CARD: Run in circles, scream and shout
In: Canada| Immigration| Life
18 Jul 2007Well, now that I’m certified, the slope gets slippery very quickly.
We have until early August to get all of our docs to the lawyers before the August 17 deadline.
Many calls, pictures, doctors appointments, and huge expense.
Going to be a fun month.

Immigration: Thoughts on the Green Card Process – A Personal Story
In: Canada| Commentary| Immigration
26 Aug 2008Being a Canadian in the United States for the last nine years has been an interesting adventure, to say the least. Although our nations are neighbours, there can be two more different approaches to the same problem so close to each other.
I can’t claim to be an expert on how Canada processes new immigrants, but [...]
