10 Degrees
Wednesday, January 4th, 2012
It was 10 degrees outside today. It seemingly came out of nowhere and all of a sudden BOOM winter hits you in face. I was walking from the office to my car today, it’s about a half mile. I park there because I can’t justify buying a parking pass for $90/month just to park for [...]

Some Stuff I Think
Wednesday, August 10th, 2011
A small collection of short opinions I have without any real explanation. Most people take their jobs way too seriously (health care professions excluded). The FDA is riddled with crooks and shouldn’t be trusted. At some point in the past 100 years this country (U.S.) completely lost it’s character and became too focused on money/greed. Hard [...]
Earbuds
Friday, May 13th, 2011
Hundreds of years from now some archaeologist will find my PayPal transaction history and say “What the hell is an earbud and why did this person buy over 5000 of them in their lifetime”. I go through earbuds like crazy, like a pair a month, maybe 2 months if I’m careful. I don’t know if [...]
Nothing special
Monday, April 18th, 2011
Trying to find something to write about… that’s the problem. Writer’s block, but it’s really not writer’s block, I’m not a writer, heck I’m barley a blogger anymore. A lot of people will tell you that you need to step away from the keyboard when you get stuck but I don’t know how much merit [...]

From the Quotes I Remember
Sunday, November 21st, 2010
A pretty good quote, I think: So yes, life is short. But only when you turn around and look at it. But if you keep looking forward, you got alotta years to think about. If you don’t think like life is long, if you live everyday like life is short, you know what you become? [...]
Sprint Transcript

This is the actual chat transcript between a sprint customer service rep and myself. I later found out that it was indeed a real person and not a chat bot. Tell me if I was wrong to get frustrated.

The Headlines
Sunday, July 18th, 2010
I just feel like doing some writing today so I thought I’d would chime in on some current events: The Oil Spill The Economy Baseball in 2010 Lebron James I don’t like complaining about stuff unless I can offer a solution, so I’ll try and offer some lame solution to anything that merits one. The [...]

…you make my days better. Security guard in the mornings This guy is great, I see him maybe once a week. I come into work around 7am and every morning he’s working he looks at me and proclaims “Hey man! What’s up?”. And I respond with a “Nothing man, how’s it goin’?”. This the extent [...]
Speaking to the Masses
Friday, July 2nd, 2010
In a few weeks (July 20th) I’ll be flying back east again to speak at the University of Pennsylvania’s User Interface Conference. It’s been in the works now for about 6 or 7 months and as the date approaches I find myself closely examining every detail of my presentation. Initially I was slated to speak [...]
Extract
Monday, April 19th, 2010
As promised, my post-surgery blog post… Alright, well… I just got 3 wisdom teeth removed. I apparently don’t have a 4th one, so that’s good. I feel fine, not loopy, no pain (yet). Hoping to be back working tomorrow, but time will tell. Let’s see… what else… the doctor was cool, funny guy. He said [...]
Years of Wisdom
Thursday, April 15th, 2010
Every 6 months or so I get a throbbing pain in my jaw for about a week. This is that week. It makes it very difficult to eat, talk, and basically move my jaw much at all. Fortunately I know what the problem is, unfortunately I’m well aware that it’s my wisdom teeth. I haven’t [...]
