- Social Situations: How To Work It
I am no Martha Stewart. When it comes to throwing parties, I can often be a nervous wreck. I rack my brain with unanswerable questions:
Will they like the food?
Will they approve of the conversation?
Will they notice the (lack of) care that was put into the decor?Really, all of these questions boil down into one extremely [...]
- Twitter. What is it? Why should I care?
Friday is supposed to be my day to recharge in terms of writing. So, because I may not have anything else to blog about, I’m inundating this blog with cool stuff I’m playing with. Right now, I’m messing around with Twitter.
Frequently Asked Twitter Question #1: “What Is It?”
Great question! Couldn’t tell ya.
Twitter is what you [...]
- Spontaneity
As I write this, Natalie and I are driving West on Highway 71 toward Austin. You may have seen my Twitter post about it. Why are we headed to Austin? There’s the beauty: Absolutely no reason!Our plan for Thursday evening was to do some office work. Acadian Imaging and sbh* headquarters (one and the same) [...]

Recently, Matt at 37 Signals (makers of Basecamp), wrote a post about how to “get ink.” At the end of the post, he talks about being “undeniably goody,” and puts up this quote by Steve Martin from his recent appearance on Charlie Rose:
When people ask me how do you make it in show business or [...]

Mi hermano, Scott, put up a list of New Year’s resolutions. I’ll do the same.

Now that we’re more than a full day into 2008, I suppose it might be a great time to take a look back at 2007. Here are some personal thoughts that sort of some up the year (NB: I stole this idea a bit from Jon Hicks of hicksdesign).
Music
By far, the most important musical release for [...] - 2008 Hiatus
Talk about a misleading title. No, I’m not taking a hiatus for 2008. Just drawing attention to my lack of writing today. It’s New Year’s Eve. Natalie leaves tomorrow. Do I need anymore excuses?
I imagine that over the next five days I’ll be able to get a good bit of work done. So, check back [...]
