    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

I like being the only one with a hovercar.

reward based on performance

Sounds pretty straight forward to me.  Let’s shit-can all the sucky teachers.

I’m going back to watching physics lectures.

Power Cycle with Randy Travis

The power at home just went out for a few seconds. When it came back on, my roommate’s iPod that’s in a little docking station thing with speakers – yeah, it started playing Randy Travis. It’s a lazy Saturday morning. I’m not getting up from the lounge chair in the living room to change it. [...]

“CAUTION: For use with information technology equipment.”

“CAUTION: For use with information technology equipment.” That’s what it says on the bottom of my iPhone USB power adapter. While I think it’s pretty random, it’s probably equally as random that I read that small print on the bottom of that little thing.
I guess I’m not the only one [...]

Apple is evil.  –>  Apple rocks!  I love my MacBook Air.  I love my iPhone.  Good customer service goes a LONG way!  Great customer service breads loyalty.
Anthony Bourdain is stupid.  –>  Anthony Bourdain rules!  No Reservations kicks butt.  Kitchen Confidential sparked all sorts of creativity.  Writing and reading things that stretch my horizons is healthy [...]

Podcasts and Inspirations and Minnesota

I’m listening to Garrison Keillor’s The Writer’s Almanac.  It was easy to fetch via iTunes and have it sync on my new iPhone.  I’m inspired, both by the ease with which this technology works, and by the soothing voice of Garrison Keillor.  It just seams to put things in perspective… you know, Lake Wobegon and [...]

Yes, I know. I have a “phone!”

Couldn’t pass up spreading this around some more.  I often get crap from friends about how I’m online or using my phone for stuff.  Hey, a phone is for more than just breakfast!  (It’s only 71 seconds long.)

Mobile Tricks – What can you do with your phone?

In case you were wondering, this is funny.

Ok, so it’s a geek thing. It’s still funny.
Twitter Suffers Minor Period Of Uptime Overnight
For the non-geeks, what makes it funny is that it would normally be news if there was downtime, not uptime. Since Twitter has been down so much recently, this particular headline is funny.
Ok, again, back to regularly scheduled, TGIF! [...]

Office Stress

Oh, so fitting!

To the person(s) who broke into my truck on Tuesday…

You may have stolen my phone charger, my camera, one pair of sunglasses, a pair of gloves, the owner’s manual, and some binoculars…

…but you didn’t get the rhinestone sunglasses! And, you didn’t get me to stop smiling. So, HA!
