Swashbuckling, Atlanta-area, Technology Account Manager. I brew beer, play drums, and try not to under-achieve. I have people skills.




It\’s looking like today might be a little bit slower than it has been in a long while, so why don\’t I crank out a tedious update of what has been going on over the past moon or so? HUH?! WHY DON\’T I?!?! Let\’s see … the trial Gia was working on, which gained intensity [...]
Read More...And now, a photo montage from Sunday morning called: OMG YOU WISH YOU MARRIED ME LOL!!1!
Read More...- I put some freakin\’ pictures of chili ingredients, Chomp & Stomp, and Auburn up on freakin\’ flickr for your freakin\’ reference and enjoyment. – I moved all of the fallen leaves around in my yard last weekend and took some pictures of the process, but those pics are still on the camera. I\’m like [...]
Read More...Yesterday I said I would tell you about buying new shoes. First, a short story. After graduating High School in 1994, I wrestled control of my life by quitting the shit out of my job as a morning line cook at IHOP on Johnson Ferry ($4.70/hr.), and making the seemingly career-savvy leap to the receiving [...]
Read More...Stuff that has happened recentishly: – Chomp and/or Stomp. I was reminded of this because a nice girl named Amy left the following comment on this entry: Hi, I was at the Chomp and Stomp, and I thought the Mother Puncher was the best!! It will be the kind of chili I aspire to make, [...]
Read More...Another Gerogia / Florida weekend. Another chili cookoff on the books. This year was the largest yet. 13 chili entries. 35 or so attendees with 25 completing at least part of a scoresheet. As has already been blogged / bragged, Alison took first with her Timberlake-inspired I\’m Bringing Chiliback. This is a double kick in [...]
Read More...Phil and Heather are in town this week, which is awesome, but it causes major shifts in our normal behavior patterns, which is … also awesome. For instance, last night after fajitas and margaritas at the lovely home of some other Pope \’94 alums, Phil and I stayed up until 2:00am playing Madden. Let me [...]
Read More...When we last checked, our hero was in Austin, Texas. He never got to venture outside of the rental car / hotel / meeting location bubble, so, as it stands, all of Texas still sucks. Hopefully Austin will get a chance to redeem Texas soon. Also, maybe it\’s getting chilly in Atlanta early this year, [...]
Read More...No, not like the hip Web 2.0 tagging that has helped reframe the concept of user defined content. No, not even like when bloggers tag each other because … actually I have no idea why bloggers tag each other. Knock it off. No, I\’m talking about Tuesday morning, when I was heading to work in [...]
Read More...The Bulldogs\’ loss to Vandy (at home) feels less like a gut-wrenching tragedy in a campaign of innocence and more like the other shoe finally dropping. This team is lacking in a lot of areas, from coaching to kicking. No longer can we just pour some more Pepto on the problem and win another Colorado [...]
