Dreams of death

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

I’m horribly sick right now.

I’m sick (in more ways than one)

I shouldn’t have gotten out of bed yesterday, but I eventually did which was probably not wise.

Being sick means waking up with strange or horrible dreams.
This time, it is years later and my instant best friend has died. [...]

Making it rain (a story with three “Mark”ed bills)

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Tagged has a Cherry Coke promotion which pretty much works with any website out there. In honor of this, I pimped out my profile with some raining cherries—I mean once you get over all the pr0n on my profile, that I’m too lazy(?) to delete.
Mark #1
Apparently there was a reward for getting Mark [...]

A shure bet I’m getting this

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

I read this today on iLounge.
Is there any question given this post and this one, that I’m getting one of these? (Where is the Amazon link…you bastards!)
I love the new Shure SE series. Get the SE-210’s in white or black , or splurge on mine.

My love affair with chinatown continues…

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

This is an article written by my Uncle Francis who spends his retirement sending amusing e-mails to family members that eventually get to me, and leaving hilarious messages on my cousin’s answering machine. I’d thought I’d share his latest dispatch with you…

LinkedIn Haikus reprise

Monday, June 25th, 2007

Okay, the day Plaxo finally comes out with the access and sync API platform for contact management, the kids at LinkedIn announced that they’re going platform also. In honor of that and the fact that my SiteOps manager calls me a “LinkedIn contact whore,” I whittled down my stack of business cards and sent another [...]

Thanks, bro

There is a section of my high school called Rowe Common that is off limits to underclassmen. You can’t enter there on pain of death, or whatever. If you were cool and were a freshman or sophomore, you hung out playing four-square in “the Pit” which sits below Rowe Common.
(In my entire time at Shady [...]

The iPhone

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

I was talking to Dru about that today. He said he’s not worried. “Apple says it’ll be fine as long as you go to a Cingular store and not Apple Store on the day of launch.”

Random stuff that comes out of my mouth when I’m drunk

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

[I don’t realize how over-the-top I am until I sober up. Here is a random snippet of conversation.]
Me: “You know how I am. I went to that g—d—n school. I think they’re all idiots who are divorced from reality. I said that to you when they bought out Overture.”
K—: “They’re eggheads. That’s true anywhere, not [...]

When Jeremiah twittered that he was going to check out he Zombie flash mob, I had to jet off work and check it out.

It was a lot of fun running out of the office: “Where are you going?”

Community prime

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

So Andrei gave me a great idea to share some of my Amazon prime lovin’ with my (trusted) friends.
Amazon Prime is $80 a year. For that subscription you get free two-day ordering, $4 next day air, and orders fulfilled so fast you can’t cancel them. However, there are only so many times you can free-two [...]
