I always doubted that story, [...]

Adam curry has returned to Amsterday from his native United States and has some great things to say.
I, too, had the same experience when I lived abroad for a brief period. It took being away from the United States to make me appreciate my country even more. When I left, I was [...]

You know it’s going to be “one of those” when you arrive at work, get in the elevator, push the floor and arrive, after many, many stops on other floors, at a totally unrecognizable location. Eventually, if you’re capable, you’ll figure out that you pushed the wrong floor, but you don’t know which one [...]

Is it the ultimate in being a lazy fuck when one decides to leave a bunch of clean clothes in the dryer in order to allow the cleaning lady to fold them, thereby making it very easy indeed to pack for your trip to Boston?

Everybody wish me luck: I’m about to attempt to leverage us to the hilt in order to begin the next phase of my real estate Empire. If all of the very disparate elements fall into place, which is a long shot, we’ll be extending the empire in a big way, well, big for our [...]

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

Rock on, Sweety!
