More Sports Nuttiness
Monday, April 12th, 2010Seriously, I need to go back to listening to NPR on the drive in in the morning. Because… yeah. So, Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg go on for quite a while about Tiger Woods this morning, mostly about how much they don’t care what he does in his personal life, how he owes no one [...]
Better Time Management FTW
Friday, April 9th, 2010So, one thing I’ve noticed as I’ve gotten older is that I have actually gotten better with managing my time.

And, this may seem dispassionately technical, but what struck [...]

Okay, maddening in one spot, where he seemed to be claiming consumers were a non-human, perfectly passive species, but … eh. It was rhetoric. If he really believes that, then he’s probably [...]
Shiny New Cell Phone
Thursday, April 1st, 2010So, last week, through various means, my new employer authorized me for a work cell phone. I used to have one, for quite a while with the last job (or, a series of them), but lost it obviously when I got laid off. After that, I went out and got this rather nice, but ultimately [...]
