What’s Going Through My Head Right Now
No outlining. No pre-writing. No brainstorming. Here’s just a dump of stuff that’s kicking around in my brain at the moment… I’ve got one episode left in the new season of Arrested Development and you know what? It’s not bad. I’m actually enjoying it, despite the bar being set unreachably high from the get-go. Some […]
Charity, Time, and Commitments: Being Honest With Your Limitations

Listen to Your Heart, and You’ll Find Happiness
I was floored by a recent work development. One of my clients keeps me on retainer, and I work directly with their head copy guy – a very smart, hard-working copywriter who I’ll call “Pete”. Pete has built his career over the past few years doing what I do: he’s a freelance copywriter. He writes […]
Why “Arrested Development” Will Turn the Internet Into a Train Wreck
…and I’m Going to Love It. Arrested Development. To the educated television/comedy fan, those two words ignite a flurry of mental images, laughter, and fond memories. NeverNudes. “No touching!”.

The Importance of Detachment
The almost-silent pitter-patter of my feet kissing the sidewalk. The collective “GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY” chirp-chirp-chirping of the bird community rising for the day. The occasional vrrrrrooooooommmmm of a commuter driving past on their way to work. I’m a runner – for the most part. While I don’t have the dedication of some of those on my Facebook news […]
Why (and How to) Set Up Your Own Instagram-Like Photo Stream
Last week, I talked about self-hosting apps on your own domain. Many of you, undoubtedly, switched off into Nerd Retaliation Mode, where you say things like, “I don’t know anything about this!” or “This is too much to remember!” And that’s cool – it’s a slightly nerdy topic. But within those layers of nerdity is […]
Why I’m Starting to Self-Host Apps
The death of Google Reader came at an interesting time for me. Over the past few years, I’ve been scanning and making digital copies of my parents’ and grandmother’s photos. See, when I lived with my parents for 10 months right before my wedding, I lived in the basement. There I found a few old […]
