R.I.P. Fenixworks

9/30/2008 – 9:41 pm

Well, as some of you already know (like those of you who helped me move out of the office today), I have closed Fenixworks. It was a good run, and I learned a lot.
It was not an easy decision to make to close it, but I made it a few weeks back. I'm [...]

Scary McDonalds Story

Every day that you survive…

9/21/2008 – 11:26 pm

heard on a Discovery Channel Man vs. Wild Podcast tonight:
And remember: every day that you survive gives you another chance to reach safety.
What kind of advice is that?
That's a great big non-statement. Like "Every day is the first day of the rest of your life" or "it's always in the last place you look." [...]

Wow, I suck

9/18/2008 – 3:10 pm

After diligently posting almost every single day during the summer months, I have turned into a slacker. That's right, in the month of September, not only have a skipped a day here and there but I've actually forgotten for whole stretches of time. Sorry about that.
