Dreamweaving Again
So the good news is I’ve gone longer without posting on here, but that’s like saying midget murder is more condonable because they’re about half a life. I’ve started on a new web project, and with the number of features I want to build out it stands to be my most ambitious project yet, and [...]
On The Love And Loss Of Friends
The holiday season is a trying time for most of us, for a whole variety of reasons. This year, many former coworkers of mine and friends had to deal with the suicide of Jon Vance, a guy that was as intelligent as he was sociable, and one who I never would have thought was capable [...]

The Prophet Ice Cube
Today was a good day. Okay no that’s all I’ve got in relation to Ice Cube. Today just went about as well as I could ever hope for a day to go. Woke up with no pain or stiffness in my ankle, got out of bed refreshed and sat in front of the new 32″ [...]
I want a stamp.
We make stamps at work, I want one that says “I ASKED A STUPID QUESTION” in angry red letters. And when someone…asks a stupid question, I will smash the stamp down on their stupid head. And send them on their way slightly wiser for the experience.
The World of Badly Named OD Products, Vol. I
So I’m in lockup this morning getting some tasks taken care of. I stumble across the item you see to your left. It is a real item, I am not clever enough to make stuff like this up. Enter the i.Beat emo, a device that I assume is an MP3 player for people I loathe. [...]
