Me: I’m going downtown to play poker tonight. Her: Wow, really? But there’s no casinos in this city or anything, right? Me: Well, no, there’s no casinos, it’s just a bunch of people playing. You know that movie Rounders? Her: You’re gonna play in smoke-filled back rooms with John Malkovich? Me: We’re a bunch of [...]

My Life
February 3rd, 2010. From then to now: 102 days. 3 months + 13 days. Just over 14 weeks. And I call myself a blogger? The fact is, I’m a sad excuse for a blogger. Oh, don’t worry. I came to terms with that years ago. I write in fits and spurts. I’ll go two weeks [...]
I’ve been invited to present at February’s SynerQue meeting here in Albuquerque on the topic of podcasting. My first planned speaking gig – cool! Here are the details I wrote up, reprinted from the SynerQue announcement. In the Dark Ages (what historians call “The 20th Century”), radio was a dominating force in mass media. Educated [...]

EVER. Seriously, these things are addictive. Half my body weight can probably be attributed to these cookies, which might not [...]
A couple of weeks ago I was interviewed by Jen Goode of JGoode Designs. Jen’s a friend of mine, and was looking to interview other stay-at-home/work-at-home parents for her gig with Examiner.com. My interview was published this morning! If you’re interested in working at home, especially with kids in the picture, this might be of [...]
It’s been just about three months since I last updated this site… technically. There were two posts that were made more recently, but after reorganizing and reconsidering the direction of my online activities, I removed them. I have also removed a few dozen older posts, from an era that I wish to put behind me. [...]
I know it’s easy to blame everything on “the economy” these days, but honestly, who wants to pay $55 a month for basic cable service, even in a good economy? In an effort to reduce our monthly bills a bit while we ride out the poor economy, we decided to axe the cable television service. [...]
