Neither rain, nor sleet, nor crappy hotel internet connection shall prevent me from delivering this week’s offering of The Dimmer Switch
Filed Under Dimmer Switch | Leave a Comment
Yeah, it’s a day late. I blame the hotel internet access who wouldn’t allow me to access my website for the past day or so. Oh, it loaded, just very very slowly. Anyways here it is, and even though I wrote it, I don’t think it’s modest of me to say it’s [...]

I’m 33, and I’m still awesome
Filed Under Me | Leave a Comment
Yup, today is my birthday. And while it does totally suck to spend your birthday alone on a business trip, it happens.

Offer time
Filed Under Me | Leave a Comment
Okay, I’m sitting at work, or at least where I’ve set up camp during my stint on the Left Coast, my boss is five feet away from me, checking his email when I receive a call from the potential new day job people. I let it go to voicemail (obviously), and a few minutes [...]

Burrito Lady - free mp3 of my first original song!
Filed Under Audio, I Can Sing!, Me | 3 Comments
Yes, I wrote a song. Not only did I write a song, I recorded it as well. The results are, well, to be expected from someone who’s never written or recorded a song before.
Technically I recorded it as an entry for the Weekly Challenge over at 100 Word Story Podcast, but I thought [...]

Why did I agree to blog politics?
Filed Under Gather | Leave a Comment
I watched the Democratic debate last night…. guh. Sadly, the material wasn’t as humorous as I’d expected so no follow up Dimmer Switch today. I still managed to write an article on the debate, but it would seem out of place both here on the blog and over on The Dimmer Switch so [...]
