How to Not Blog

February 28, 2010

Spend all waking hours cramming a year-long course into eight weeks. Spend any extra time reading other people’s stuff. Well, since #1 is done, and #2 isn’t changing..best try to get back to it.

Apologies

October 13, 2009

Sorry for the site being down yesterday. Something about my hosting company changing registrars and this domain getting left out for some reason. If you can read this, then it is fixed.

Mea Culpa II

September 21, 2009

I couldn't take it anymore. Everywhere I look, it's there. Everyone is doing it. I can't swing a dead cat without hearing about it. Was I missing out on the next big thing because it was only being talked about over there? Twitter Yes, I scoffed it before (something about

Some Housecleaning

August 9, 2009

I just upgraded the site to Movable Type 4.3. I was fully expecting things to blow up. At first glance, they haven’t. We’ll know more when I hit Save… Update: Not a smoking hole yet…The one thing I was worried about is if my old MultiBlog plug-in still worked, so

Joys of Fatherhood

September 21, 2008

Raising a two-year-old is awesome. And sometimes frustrating. To wit, the following exchange, which happens daily: Braden (holding a book): “You read it.” [what he really means is he is going to read it] Me: “Are you going to read the book?” Braden: “Okay” [still not down with ‘yes’…but he

Lameness Abounds

September 21, 2008

After quietly mocking social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and their ilk, I finally broke down and joined Facebook. I’m off to take a cold shower to cleanse my shame…after I finish updating my Facebook profile and troll for some friends. Update [10 months later]: Upon further review, Facebook

Here We Go...

Watch this movie trailer: 01-18-08 Check out this website. And then this one. Apparently they all are related. This reminds me of when I stumbled across a hyperlink hidden in a period at the bottom of an Apple.com webpage back in 2003. By the time I found it, the gig

Have I Gotten Bored Already?

May 9, 2007

No, just not a lot of interesting stuff going on. And I’ve been busy…and I also just made the plunge and purchased my first digital SLR camera, a Nikon D40. I’m tired of taking crappy pictures and missing things waiting for the old Canon S410 to spool up. The little

Test Entry

Crickets…crickets… Anybody home? Hello in there…. This is just a test entry. I’m installing Mint on my server so I can have the lowdown and all the folks not reading this site.

Brokaw Signs Off

December 2, 2004

As much disdain I have for the Mainstream Media, I have to admit that I will miss having Tom Brokaw around. He was a nightly staple in my house gowing up for many years and the amount of time I have watched Peter Jennings and Dan Rather combined over the

Small World

November 28, 2004

First financial writer Ken Kurson stops by and now I find out that my brother lives next door to The Agitator. Weird. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving.

Taking One For The Team

November 6, 2004

I’m currently in Las Vegas on business, hence the lack of activity here. Seriously. Stop snickering.

It's Official...I'm Back!

October 13, 2004

Well, that took a while. So where the hell have I been the last year? Lemme see… six months in Las Vegas which was mostly work. Actually it was a lot of work. After the New Year, the lovely wife and I moved to Tucson in warm and sunny Arizona.
