I’m not a sappy guy. Hell, I haven’t even shed a tear that wasn’t prompted by nearly severing an appendage in almost 30 years, but I do actually like some sappy music. Here’s a song by Paramore that I don’t mind listening to… at least today.

The older I get, the harder it is for me to deal with certain things. It is hard for me to deal with unadulterated ignorance. It is hard for me to deal with vindictiveness. And it is hard for me to deal with people who act like they are 7 years old. My father oftentimes … Read more

Over the last few months I’ve noticed a trend that’s really shameful. The desire to see people of varying degrees of fame fall from grace. Tiger Woods and Mel Gibson are just two examples of an almost vicious glee people adopt when talking about the twists and turns of their lives. I’m all for making … Read more

Computers are essentially built to last about three years. Whether the computer breaks down or becomes obsolete, it is recommended that you replace your main computer with a new model every three years.

I’m not sure how many uber nerds read my blog… probably just one, and he is me, but still. I’ve been a big fan of science fiction for a long time. First book I ever read cover to cover was sci-fi and digging a little deeper, focused on robots. Writers like Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac … Read more

I tend to be very present focused. In fact, i can become so focused on something in the here and the now that I can ignore just about everything else. When coding, I have been known to forget to eat, sleep, and take a break so my eyes don’t bleed. Sometimes I just need to … Read more

There was a time I wrote. A lot. Somewhere along the line though I stopped writing prose and began compiling code. Perhaps I forgot that I love to write. Perhaps I forgot how it made me feel to write something worthwhile. Perhaps I forgot the reasons why. Though I have no idea how it happened, … Read more
