Advent
Does anyone remember Advent calendars? I don’t know if they are still popular or not, I only remember having them when I was really little and still living in Wyoming. It was a calendar of December, and there was a little window/flap for each date - every day you got to open just that day’s [...]

The Men From Nantucket
As you know, I had the pleasure of rooming with Tim Brown and Jeff Maher when I first moved to Austin earlier this year.

How Not to Break Into a Honda Civic
You wouldn’t think I’d have to move all the way to Austin, TX to have my car broken into for the first (and second) time. Austin is so friendly. Compared to the East coast, everyone here is so laid back and ‘hey, whatever.’ But, I guess criminals - even bad ones - have to have [...]

Disinclination
I like to make words bigger…. Incline. Inclined. Disinclined. Inclination. Disinclination. It just keeps going. And yes… disinclination is a word.

But I digress. For those of you who don’t know - I got a job. I am proud to say I am now employed [...]
