Over the last few weeks, I’ve become more aware of this particular kind of man who eats lunch out or does business with “clients” in coffee shops. I find them very annoying and yet fascinating. These guys are well-dressed, generally in suits or in hip business casual attire. They often have those bluetooth earpieces, making…
As seen in The Clutter Museum, post the first sentence of the first post for each month. January: This is the first new year’s eve in a while where I’ve overindulged. February: I didn’t listen to the SOTU, but I read summaries and listened to the coverage of it on NPR this morning. March: Both…
The presents have been bought and wrapped and shipped. Can we just have Christmas tomorrow and be done with it? Personally, being the atheist I am, I’d rather celebrate the solstice on Thursday. Let’s have a Saturnalia celebration or something. I’m kind of bummed that the kids aren’t out of school yet. We could be…
And so are you. Time named us person of the year! Congrats. Yeah, I’m pretty excited myself. It’s about time. I’ve been blogging away for 2.5 years. Okay, sure, I have to share my glory with millions of other people, but hey, isn’t that what this whole web 2.0 thing is about? My favorite quote…

Yesterday was my last day of work for almost 3 weeks. I always have tons of vacation to use up by the end of the year. Even taking today and all of next week, I will roll over a few days of vacation. That’s one thing I would never complain about at work. We get…
Geeky Boy laments global warming and calls on us grownups to do something about it. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure
PPB posted something interesting today about why she blogs under a pseudonym and other interesting blogging tidbits. There are times when I wish I had maintained my pseudonym. There are things I’d like to blog about but feel that I can’t because my blog is attached to my real name. It’s not that I want…
My brain is too filled with stuff like audience and discourse communities and emergence to be of much use, but I thought in the spirit of winter solstice and the free time that many of us might be looking foward to, I’d recommend some geeky type books that you can read yourself and/or purchase for…
