Phase one of site relaunch complete! Content has been exported from Posterous and Imported to my hosted Word Press configuration. Huzzah! Please pardon the generic minimalist theme whilst I go back through the current content and fix broken links/embeds and clean up the style sheets… not that anyone’s likely to mind anyway. Tires are being [...]
For the past week or so there’s been an old adage rolling around in my brain: “Dress for the job you want.” I practically applied this concept years ago when I needed to seek more gainful employment, and put the aspirations of being a professional actor/whatever to rest. I had debts to pay, and the [...]
via teamteamwork.bandcamp.com Team Teamwork, the folks behind last year’s “The Ocarina of Rhyme“, have just dropped another sublime working of hip-hop and video game scores on the masses. As the title cleverly implies this round the focus is on the much loved (and über hyped) Final Fantasy 7, and features pairings of classic game tunes [...]
Umm… Happy 2010! So clearly I fell off the wagon with consistant posting, but that’s going to change! At least I tell myself as such. In effort to finish what I started in December, and move on with my bloggin’ life here’s my first venture into the realm of video blogs. Clearly there’s work to [...]
Monday evening I’ll be partaking in perhaps the most significant car ride of this year. What began as a trip charted as a holiday venture to visit my über preggo sister in PA for the Christmas holiday, and then on the return swing through Ohio to visit a super close friend of Tara’s suddenly [...]
It’s with a very heavy heart that I share the news Tara and I awoke to early this morning… Hello all. We wanted to thank you for all the thoughts and prayers. We couldn’t have made it through the past few weeks without you. We are also saddened to announce that Ayden peacefully passed away [...]
via xkcd.com “Interesting” is most certainly how I’d sum up my 2009. An incredibly full blend of loss, stress, frustration, rebirth, discovery, socializing, karaoke, dipping my toes into the “dating scene”, quickly removing aforementioned toes from said scene because the “scene” felt too much like an awkward joke people play on themselves, re-learning to be [...]
via peets.com I absolutely LOVE coffee and could geek out forever experiencing various blends, roasts, brews… but I just don’t crave the stuff. It might be that it’s somewhat in my blood as my mom and her father before her both had stints roasting beans and running coffee shops respectively; and while my time spent [...]
Anywhere near this girl. How to Join the Best of 2009 Challenge: http://www.gwenbell.com/blog/2009/11/30/the-best-of-2009-blog-challenge.html
via amazon.com I find myself in a bit of a sitch, as I purposely refrained from blogging about my best challenge of this year. It was quite the maelstrom of suck, as long term relationships that come to a sudden and rocky conclusion can be, and I felt it inappropriate to really wax nostalgic upon [...]
Several weeks ago I visited my parent’s home in Sebastian, FL with my lady. It was a warm, sunny day and I was lounging in the pool… just floating… floating and zoning. Tara asked me what I was thinking about, as she often does, because I’m usually lost in thought with my trademark pensive furrow [...]
via amazon.com Without question, my notable favorite read of the year was Jonathan Safran Foer’s “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close”. At times whimsical, melancholy, joyful, and then utterly heart breaking, this story had a significant impact on me with it’s themes of love and loss set in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks, and [...]

On most days, there is a lot of noise in my head regarding my current job/career thing/path. Typically a cocktail comprised of [...]
I have a tendency to tackle my posts in stages (as well as think too much, be hard on myself, and get confused in my brain), as I still work on training myself to take time to make time for focused writing sessions. With my Posterous account I’ll submit via gmail, so I ready the [...]
Sannnnnn-Franciscooooo. An extended weekend trip born out of a desire to get away and decompress for a while, became an excursion to not only take in the sights and sounds of the Pacific coast… But also to see about a girl. A very, very special girl… but more on her at a later date. I [...]
Hello All, We hope you have had a good Thanksgiving and we wanted to give you a quick update on Ayden. Today was a day of rest for him with no tests planned because most of the doctors were off for the holiday so there was minimal staff on hand. What they did do today [...]
Just received an update from Ayden’s mother: Hello all. We just wanted to give you an update on Ayden’s progress. So far today they have allowed him to warm up to a normal temperature and taken him off of his muscle relaxing drug. He was being kept cold to help preserve his body/brain and he was on [...]
This past Sunday, Tara and I received grave news about the son of one of her closest friends. Please read and share the story below and keep Ayden in your thoughts and prayers. Also, if you have the gumption and a moment of time to create an e-card showing your support, I know the family [...]
via gamingbits.com This might become an issue. I come out of blogging hiatus and have my second bejeweled related story. And for good reason… I do believe I’m suffering from bejeweled addiction. I shit you not, I close my eyes and I see gem patterns and the means of creating combos and cascades. But I [...]
via blog.games.com An add-on to Bejeweled 2 that’ll make the previously Facebook exclusive Blitz mode portable? At least I’ll no longer feel too guilty about the time sink experienced sitting at my desk flicking gems around, and gunning for the high score. Now I can take it with me… everywhere. Son of a…
via dagbladet.no Ruh-Roh… it’s been months since I’d left the World of Warcraft behind me, with nary a pang of regret or strong urge to jump back in. I still enjoy keeping up on the news of development within the game and partaking in conversations with friends who still play regularly. But all in all [...]
