How To Do Anything

September 2nd, 2010
I might have to write this as a series of posts because it is a very big topic and I'm not entirely sure how to communicate the thought yet. I have been, for the last few years been doing everything. Well, to qualify that, everything that does not requ… more »

The Great Experiment: Update 7

August 13th, 2010
 Well, the Great Experiment is winding down. Or at least I'm trying to get it to wind down. It's become apparent that my goals and the experiment do not lead to the same place. Although things have been progressing, more work coming in, I have an emplo… more »

The Fanboy

My Hard Drive Died!

December 22nd, 2009
I woke up two weeks ago in the morning during a storm. My computer was shut down when I came down stairs. We had lost power during the night so I didn't think too much of it. My iMac had survived numerous power outages. Not this time. I tried turning… more »

November 6th, 2009
I've been putting off making this update. Thing have gone. . . mediocre. There were some rough months there and things aren't perfect yet but they've picked up as far as income is concerned. The bad thing is that I haven't been able to get business go… more »
