Sep 2004 Update

Sheryl and I bought a lovely house in Lindsborg, I've made arrangements to telecommute to my job, and so we've moved back to Lindsborg.

All the Pages are My Days is the occasional journal of Mike Rodriquez. For the past couple of years I've been writing about technology, politics and travel, with a number of recipes and photo essays posted as well. The site is searchable and there are both category and monthly archives available, so have a look around.

I'm in my late 40's, a father and grandfather; still in love and happily married to Sheryl since 1974. We're originally from Lindsborg, Kansas and have lived in the SF Bay area since 1978. We lived in Auburn, Washington for part of 1974-75 and have some family up there, though virtually all of our extended family lives in central Kansas, including Salina, Lindsborg, McPherson and Wichita.

I've worked in the high-tech industry since moving here, starting at GTE Lenkurt in San Carlos. My first exposure to computers (outside of school), including HP 9825, 9835 and 9845 instrument controllers as well as a DEC PDP-8, came on this job. I started using unix (bsd 4.1) in 1984, and also got my first email account (using mm under TOPS-20) in July of that year. Since then I've worked in a wide variety of mostly unix, but some windows, system admin and computing infrastructure development roles, and provide webmaster services and consulting services in my current position.

BTW, the views represented on this site are soley my own and in no way represent the views of my employer.
