Disappearing Act

Oct 30, 2004 By Leave a Comment

I've been travelling the last two weeks, working on a project that has been consuming my entire life. I've had to choose between my client and my blog. Since my client pays me and since they required so much attention, I let the blog go for a couple of weeks. I have several stories I [...]

You Know. Yes, You Do.

Next Tuesday, get thee to your polling site and vote. Get up early and go before work, or leave work early. Go over the lunch hour. If your boss or co-workers give you grief, offer to drive them to their precincts so they can vote. If you need a note to explain your tardiness or [...]

I'm still wiping the tears from my eyes after visiting this site: How to use Japanese style toilet. I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Thanks to Lee Chapman.

Remember Who the Successful People Are

Aug 17, 2004 By Leave a Comment

I came across this article today in the Japan Times and thought I would use a large quote. Every once in a while somebody comes along to remind us of reality rather than the Hollywood image of the rich. "They make a living out of what they really enjoy, as opposed to most people who [...]

Mervyn's

Jul 29, 2004 By Leave a Comment

I got all weepy and nostalgic when I read that Target Corporation is going to sell Mervyn's. I used to work at a Mervyn's store in Irving, Texas in the late 80s. I worked in the Receiving department and unloaded trucks of apparel. I dated a couple of girls that worked there, too. Ahhh, good [...]

Notice: The 90s Are Over; Get Over It

Jul 10, 2004 By Leave a Comment

I have a question: what was so good about the 90s? During this election season, I've heard many political pundits and potential candidates talk about the 90s with big watery, nostalgic eyes. About a year ago, I was eating lunch with some fellow consultants. Our project had just been cancelled and we were all disappointed. [...]

Busy Isn't the Word For It

Jul 8, 2004 By Leave a Comment

The past two weeks have blurred by as I tried to balance my work life and my work life. I'm increasingly concerned by the direct correlation between time flying by and getting older. Weeks roll by and I'm in the middle of the summer of 2004 when it seems like I just moved to Fort [...]

This has been one of those weeks. As a result, I haven't published anything since Monday. Things are getting a little more under control and I'll put out some stories this evening and weekend.

When Technology Sucks

Jun 2, 2004 By Leave a Comment

So where have I been? On Sunday, my laptop's hard drive started clicking and ticking and knocking. Obviously, audible noises like that is not good for a hard drive. Sure enough, that was the end, my friend. Fortunately, it's under an extended warranty and I regularly back up my data. I ended up losing a [...]
