today has been a little bit stressful. a bunch of things didn’t happen that i was sort of hoping would.
i woke up to realize that an interview that i was supposed to be conducting was taking place very soon. i rushed to work, but missed it. luckily, paul filled in for me.
i’ve [...]
by in large, i think that generally speaking, i’m a pretty straight-forward kind of a person. i do what i say i will do and i mean what i say. this usually isn’t a problem because most people then aren’t left guessing about what is really going on.
it’s the people who don’t say [...]
i was surprised to find out that the gas pump stopped filling my tank out when it reached the $50 mark. i knew that my tank wasn’t full yet, but it still stopped filling the tank with gas after it hit $50.

what i write about, what people see is only a small fraction of [...]
sometimes i have a love/hate relationship with technology. for the most part, i do love technology. from computers, the internet, tivo, and just about anything else you can plug in, it’s cool. but every so often i do have this hate relationship with it too.
lately, it’s been pretty painful because of the [...]
