I know I’ll never reach my goal of being a full-time professional blogger if I don’t update, and I apologize to all of my readers for having not shared for a while. Here’s some of the reasons why I’ve been away, both on my blog and on Twitter: Work: I’m shaking up the dust a…
Just For the Heck of It Contest Winners!
Ok, ladies and gentlemen, here it is! The contest was over at midnight last night – we still had a few entries after midnight so I decided to count them anyway, because what the heck, right? Well, it was an interesting morning today to say the least. I’ve been trying to contact winners for the…
Friday! Winners Announced Later
Hey guys, just a quick update. First off, it’s Friday! Woo hoo! Just wanted to say I’ve got a meeting this morning, and then I’ll announce the contest winners a little later this afternoon (at least after 12:30pm EST). The mystery prize is AWESOME if I do say so myself. I’ll attempt to DM the…

Shrimp & Bacon Grits with Hushpuppies
Growing up, I never much liked grits. In fact, I still won’t outright decide to eat a bowl of grits. The idea actually grosses me out a little bit. Say what you will about me not being a true Southerner (I don’t talk like much of one anyway unless I’m trying to be charming), but…
Work Frustrations
So, on the bright side of things, the last round of password expirations is done. Those were some hellish three weeks, I’ll tell you what. My job decided that we needed to come into compliance with state regulations on password security. This is a good thing. They did this by force-expiring everyone’s passwords in batches,…
Certifications Update
I forgot to mention that I went home to visit my family in my hometown last weekend. One of the particular purposes of that trip was to take my Apple OS X 10.5 Support Essentials exam. I am now successfully an Apple Certified Support Professional (ACSP, formerly ACHDST)! Now I can check that off of…
Show Me Your Shamrocks #IZEAGreen
This morning I was leaving for work when I found a nifty green box with “IZEA” on one side and a shamrock on the other. Awesome! I didn’t have time to open it right that second, but it felt like a little mini-Christmas. I love getting packages by surprise! I had seen this same box…
Weekend Update: Ides of March
That’s right my fateful brethren, it’s March 15th, the Ides of March. I’ve successfully avoided this fated day by sleeping most of the way through it. I woke up today (the final time) around 2pm. I got up and got some microwavable breakfast and then tooled away at the computer the rest of the day.…
