Until one of the three pirates call and offer me a job galavanting around the world while the authorities play wack-a-mole with them, the perils of finding an overseas job have left me exhausted. YES, that job does require travel! (by the way, I don’t advocate pirating music, but I do love to download a [...]
Things are boring these days, good boring, but the restless spirit is ready to jump out. The great thing about being single is that I’m getting all my selfishness out. Little Sister to Sister 7 to Patrice Pike to getting kicked off ‘Rockstar Supernova.’ Hmmm, I wonder what….wonder what perry farrell would think of dave [...]

I would have snapped some pictures, but alas they would have all been black. All totalled about 23 miles, Bob and I plan on the ‘extreme’ bike rides, so when BASH actually comes along, [...]
Performance, not really my cup of tea, but in one of these little red cans lurks my friend Ashley. I went on the ‘pay as you wish day’ Thursday, The ‘Odd Center’ off East 7th, the performance surely does its part to ‘keep Austin weird.’ I met the director dudes at an earlier sitting, nice [...]
Life and business, and how it applies to programming, specifically two types of programming, structured and service oriented.
