How Do You Drive Yourself If The Tank’s Out of Gas?

August 25, 2010 Writing

As you can tell from the tumbleweeds around here I’ve been incommunicado for some time now. People usually say "life gets in the way", but that’s not the case for me. It feels like I’ve run out of steam and all my words have just disappeared. Instead of being frustrated it has been a relief [...]

WordPress Plugins Spotlight: Comments

June 22, 2010 Wordpress

When I come across a sharp new blog I often wonder what kind of plugins they’re running under the hood. I’ve always believed seeing a slick plugin on a live site is a million times better than any review you could read on WordPress. When I first started out, I shared the plugins used in [...]

Thoughts From A Weekend

June 14, 2010 Personal

If you’ve been following my Twitter feed, you probably heard about my interesting weekend in Ybor City. Goths in surgical masks, a pit bull sitting at the bar, and one-eye bathroom attendants are just some of the highlights of my adventures in Ybor nightlife.

I’ve been constantly struggling between the Techie and the Creative in my life. The Techie pays the bills and has been my bread & butter for years, but is honestly a little burned out these days. The Creative took a backburner when Techie hit high gear, but is trying to make a reappearance in my [...]

The Me Manifesto

May 30, 2010 Personal

I am a Gemini and thus definition has never been good for me. It feels restrictive, limiting and claustrophobic.

The Best Anti-Heroes on Television

May 24, 2010 Television

What is it about anti-heroes that draws us to them? Is it that they play by their own rules, or that they fly in the face of social norms? Maybe it’s simply that living in darker times, we identify more readily, even if only on a subconscious level, with those who are flawed, much as [...]

Observations of a Borders bookshelf

May 17, 2010 Rant

Disclaimer: I worked for both Borders and Barnes & Nobles WAY BACK in the day. I like them both and even though they’re chains, having any bookstore is better than none at all. This is not a recollection of my memories from that time, but a commentary on the current state of bookstores. This weekend [...]

Move or Die

May 12, 2010 Personal

The shark is a remarkable animal having evolved over millennia into the sleek ocean predator we both fear and admire. Singular in purpose these fantastic creatures suffer from one major design flaw, if they stop moving they drown. Driven by this biological drawback sharks endlessly prowl the waters, condemned to a life devoid of rest. [...]
