I believe, but do not necessarily practice, the ideals espoused in this essay about web morons.
I’ve been on the web long enough to know that so much exists out there, that I can be selective in what I read (although I still tend to read EVERYTHING). Therefore, as I arrive at a site that [...]

Back when Atlanta’s music hot spot The Earl first opened, I made them a free web site and hosted it in what was to be an exchange of services. I was going to get “the hookup” for hooking them up. I’m all for this type of barter economy. I find it noble.
Well, being [...]

The literal explosion of spam is finally getting to me.
After installing Spam Assassin, turning on bulk email filters, and getting a relatively efficient system down, I’m still manually deleting thirty (30) to forty (40) spams per day. Spam Assassin catches an additional sixty (60) to one hundred (100), and the bulk filters [...]

So this is how much my wife kicks ass:
Six months on the job
One big raise already a few weeks ago
Last night: promotion to #2 person in the whole department

Outwardly, I’m shitting in tall cotton.
Since my “promotion” a few months back, I’ve been raising the roof on many levels. I work from home two days per week. My workload is somewhat below the level one might call “hectic.” And while the work is definitely shy of stimulating, it’s work. And [...]

From what I can tell, iBooks are big, steaming, pieces of crap.
Actually, I’m sure they are quite nice, when they work. But all of these references to ibook problems surfaced in my normal surfing and reading, not because I was looking for them. I’m certain that I won’t be buying one.

Whydo we need to go to a place actually called “work.”

I’m beta testing TypePad right now. I am bound by a non-disclosure agreement, but I’ll let you know what I think when I can.

I worked as a snack bar attendant in a Colorado country club in the early post-college years. It was a great way to make tons of cash, and the job entailed being very busy in the morning, at lunchtime, and watching golf on television with the golf shop staff during the rest of the [...]

I feel half bad. I mean, I didn’t even mention the fact that our female cat will shred your fucking face if you try to get near her with those clippers. I hope they start with the male cat. He thinks of being groomed as a massage and attention and, by extension, [...]

Darren always walks like a rock star down this street. It’s the one he feels most at home with. He used to sling burgers out of the window at Trusty on the corner, and he even sold fake Welsh regalia to tourists at The Welsh Dragon. That’s where he learned to hate [...]
