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…
A Crazy Moving Weekend Ahead
Yes, I know tomorrow is the Fourth of July, Independence Day here in the United States. And yes, I know it’s probably foolish to move the day afterwards. But gosh darn it, I’m excited about being in my new house. Verizon sent me the wrong modem. They were supposed to send me a wireless router…
The Tech Wishes He Had a Place to Rage
I’m not really angry about anything. My brain just hurts. Today is one of those days where I just didn’t get started out on the right foot, and every step after that seems slightly off. This morning I woke up at 7:18 to get ready for work at 8am like I always do on Monday…
