We had a fairly uneventful Halloween this year. Since Michael is not 13, this may be the last year he gets out to trick or treat. The fact that he is already tipping 6′ makes him look a bit odd going to door-to-door. It kinda sucks that Ashland is not exactly the […]

Has Steve Jobs Lost Touch With Apple Customers?
Published September 6th, 2007 in General Update. 5 CommentsI think everyone can agree that the iPhone was pricey. I was one of the people who forked over the $600 to get my hands on one, and was very happy with the purchase. But when Steve Jobs announced Apple would lower their price point by $200, I’m sure most of my fellow early adopters […]
I had a big change in my life this week. After nearly 6 years of long days I have left my position at USWeb. I decided that I need a change of pace, and that USWeb was not really the right fit for me going forward.
I will be moving forward with Blogitive, and […]

Michael the Master Duelist
Published April 13th, 2007 in Entertainment and General Update. 3 CommentsMichael (he’s the one in the yellow hat) had his first Yu-gi-oh duel last weekend at Toys R Us. It was a very small turn out with only 4 people, but he won. For those of you who do not know what this is, it’s a trading card game with monster that fight […]
This was my third year at SXSW, so I’m starting to feel like a pro. I decided a while ago to limit the amount of conferences I attended, so for the past couple years I have only attended WebmasterWorld in Las Vegas, and SXSW in Austin. A lot of the other conferences like […]
Few things are as frustrating as an unplanned car repair expense. Last week I had to replace the tires on one of my cars for $500! Now it’s not as expensive as some repairs, like a Mercedes Radiator, but still pricey.
Top 10 Films I saw in 2006
Published January 31st, 2007 in Entertainment and General Update. 0 CommentsKevin Smith just put out his list today or his top ’06 films. So I thought this would be a good time for me to list mine. Although I suspect that he has a lot more people that care.
One disappointing note is that his top 3 films are all films I really wanted […]
