I was a charter member of America Online in 1989. My cousin and I shared an account called “Freeness”. We had tried CompuServe before that and used some dial-up BBSs, but AOL was much better. Much better at downloading free software, that is. In 1992 (college), I started playing games on the internet. They were…
Sometimes you just can not look away, no matter how ridiculous it is. I just lost 5 minutes of my life to this little kid and her family. Watch and kill a few brain cells. http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/tv/here-comes-honey-boo-boo/videos There are an awful lot of people out there who are just like this. I am no saint, but man, this…
I have a personal philosophy that I thought of in high school and has been my friend for 25 years. It’s call the Karma Bank. Here is how it works: When you have things in your life that make you unhappy, you are depositing Karma into the bank. This Karma will earn interest (not very…
Ebb and Flow is the natural course of life. Sometimes you’re up and sometimes you’re down. However, these rhythms play with our psychology in a negative way. When life is throwing your curve balls you tend to think it’s just going to get worse. When things are going well, we often think something bad is going…
I don’t get it. DISCLAIMER: I never met Marissa and only saw some of her point of view at a conference and on television. I have never worked with her and have no experience with her leadership skills/style. Ok, back to the show: I don’t get it. Yahoo is in a pretty bad place. They…
I have no idea how this thing formed, but it is a repeating rainbow. Awesome.
Watched two movies this week. In the theater, I watched Brave. I am a huge Pixar fan and have loved just about every movie they have ever done. This one however, let me down. Specifically, I loved the graphic design and attention to detail like the girls hair, but it was the story that left…
I brought my car in for service today. They gave me a complimentary rental, which was the Nissan Leaf. I drove it for 10 minutes so far, so this won’t be too in-depth. Super Cool Golf Cart I didn’t realize this until today. The Nissan Leaf has NO GAS ENGINE at all. This is not…
Over the past few years, I have been managing more and more and individually contributing less and less. This is how I scale my value to the company. I train other people to do what I used to do myself so I can get more output more as a department than as an individual worker.…
I want an electric car. This is ridiculous. The picture below is me after paying.
There is a new style I keep seeing around the internet. I love it. Check out MemeFaces and the The Fuuuu Comics and Membase. They crack me up. They basically make fun of the current fads (memes) and use pop culture images or line drawings to illustrate. See samples below. You can create comic strips with these…
I can’t decide what I like. Beard and receding hair or shaved head and face. What do you think? (Animated GIF below) It’s less work to have the beard at first, but trimming it can be a pain. Plus, I hate how I can see my hair going away. With a shaved head, it’s all gone, so…
I’ve been asked recently about my abilities related to public speaking. I feel very comfortable in front of a crowd and can tell stories and relate information in an engaging way. I don’t want to sound too conceited, but I am pretty good at it. The questions, however, relate to whether it is something you…
