Today see’s the completion of the first full week I’ve had to commute into the “office”. The “office” being a group I’m consulting for in San Francisco (rather than my normal Tahoe). It has been an interesting experience and taken a bit of getting used to, after all, I’ve never had to do a serious [...]

Which is worse? The faux-conversation or straight request
I am, what most would consider, fairly anti-social. It isn’t that I hate talking to people, I just hate most people. That being said, I have a skill set which occasionally makes me desirable: I can fix computers. There are a great number of people that I know who only contact me when they want [...]
Ask me about Online Dating
Recently, I’ve been fielding more and more questions about Online Dating. The most common thing I have heard is that people are scared to try it. I will admit that I was initially a little timid about the concept, but as I discussed previously, I eventually jumped into it and thus far haven’t had any [...]
Fanime This Weekend
And in fact today! Indeed, we are there this very moment. Jon and I are currently at Fanime. Jon went last year (and the year before that), and as I previously mentioned, he convinced me to go this year. I flew down to meet Jon (and get my motorcycle back) yesterday and after an enjoyable [...]
The end of an era
A tweet by @DanteShepherd (the guy behind SurvivingTheWorld.net) reminded me that this is graduation time for a lot of people (specifically High School and College Seniors, along with other degree seekers) and that some people have a hard time moving onto the next phase of their lives. Here’s the article that spawned this post. The [...]
Some blog entries just never see the light of day
Sometimes, when I’m not particularly feeling writey (Like right now when I’m freaking exhausted from not sleeping properly), I go back and look at some of the draft entries we (John and I) have started, but never finished. Some of them are total crap, some are just notes to ourselves (IE “I should write about [...]
A regular sleep schedule sure would be nice
My sleep schedule most of the time is a little unusual, but fairly simple. 2 am to 10 am. I found out at one point in time that I wake up extremely easily at 10, and am generally ready to rock and roll. Recently, that hasn’t worked out so well though. I spent the last [...]
Happy Cinco de Mayo: A Tale of Travel to Mexico
A few years back (September 2006 to be specific), my brother and I decided to go to Cancun. We stayed at the Blue Bay Getaway (which is now called “Temptation“). The resort itself was wonderful and was our first experience of going on vacation without anyone else. Also, the hotel being all adult and all [...]
Jon’s Broken, come back on Monday
As you may have seen on my twitter, Akido killed me last night, nothing useful to post today.
Filing a claim with FedEx or What the hell happened to my TV?
A while back I got a refurbished TV from woot.com, when it arrived and the FedEx guy dropped it on the ground I cringed a little, but signed for it and then dragged it over to my desk to open it up. I removed the Styrofoam padders on the top corners and pulled the TV [...]
