Swashbuckling, Atlanta-area, Technology Program Manager. I brew beer, play drums, run a little bit, and try not to under-achieve. I have people skills.




Full-on Fest recap complete with several blurry photos in due time. Needless to say, it was a metric shit ton of fun. Three days was the perfect length—any more and I would have died. I might die anyway. After spending three days shoulder to shoulder with thousands of, er, \”earthy\” punk rockers, it is not [...]
Read More...Yeasterday I went to Miami. Today I came home. The entire trip, from top to bottom, went eerily smoothly. – Gia drove me to the airport yesterday morning. Almost no traffic on 285. Or Camp Creek Parkway. – Zero congestion at the dropoff point. – I waltzed through security only stopping to take off my [...]

Read More...So … Gia was in a fairly serious car accident after work on Thursday. First things first, she was not seriously injured. The title above is how I\’ve been relaying the information to concerned friends and family for the past two days so as not to give them the chance to think the worst. She [...]
Read More...I officially put the old search string posts to bed way back in June, 2006 because the list had been overrun by MySpace queries. As part of getting to know this site all over again, I glanced at last month\’s strings and discovered that MySpace has released me from its death grip and allowed a [...]
Read More...Approximately two years ago, I droned on and on and on about buying a new computer. Finally, after sound advice from several third parties, the moaning culminated in the purchase of an iBook. Yay. Well, two years is like … a lot more than two years in technology time and I am equal parts excited [...]
