Dear Comcast,
Thanks for sending me all those great offers in the mail. Although I love shiny paper, please stop. The vast majority of the mailers I get from you are for deals that only apply to NEW customers. I am not a new customer. That bill you you also send me [...]
So far so good. It looks like I will be able to attend the Blog Indiana 2009 Conference in August.
I’m pretty excited about the conference because there will be some well known people from the blogging and social media world there that I follow. It’s not that I’m all “OMG! Chris Brogan is [...]
Okay, so it’s closer to 200 miles than 300. All the same, I was able to sneak out to Origins Game Fair or OHMYGEEK or whatever it is called.
The expo hall seemed to be about 1/8 of what GenCon 2008’s expo hall was. We stopped in early in the afternoon on Friday and [...]
Thanks to a handful of prominent universities and their OCW offerings, you can get a little piece of a Harvard education (or Yale or MIT or dozens of other schools). Google OCW to find schools that are participating in the program.
OCW stands for Open Course Ware. A few years ago a group of [...]
I’ve been a little slow in terms of focusing this site. I’m not sure what I was waiting on but I received a sign…

A deer committed suicide on my least favorite SUV yesterday. It was a ninja. I didn’t see it until it was spinning through the air over the hood and past my driver side window.
I felt bad about the incident. Not so much that Bambi’s mom died… More so that my 3 [...]
Or the new Wii if you don’t recall the Beanie Baby fad of the mid/late 1990s. It’s now much easier to get your hands on a Wii for retail price than it is to get your hands on a 50 count box of 9mm shells.
If you are into shooting sports or follow news that [...]
My cell phone keeps getting bombarded with these BS calls about extended auto warranties. What pisses me off the most about it is that it is my emergency work phone that causes me to do an OJ Simpson impersonation when it rings.
The call starts with a phony pre-recorded message about how it’s the [...]
It’s not really something to brag about but it is true. I dropped out of college. I think that makes five times now. It’s getting hard to keep track. It was my second consecutive semester, which happens to tie my record.
It was only sort of my fault this go around. [...]
I know it’s been quite a while since I posted anything about what is going on over at BlogExplosion, but I’ve been more than busy. The short version of the story is that things are looking much better there.
If you blog and you aren’t a member, join BlogExplosion. If you are a member, [...]
