Retrograde

Not to get all Star Trek on you, but I think my internal time-space clock is broken. The past two days I’ve woken up and thought it was Friday. That’s somewhat of a problem because it’s been Monday and Tuesday (respectively).
Today I had to put a date on a document and was taken by surprise [...]

Happy Blogiversary

Five years ago we were living in DC. I was working from a home office for a dot com called Nine Systems. I’d only met a handful of my teammates - the ones that came over in the e-Media buy-out with me - the rest were in the main office in San Diego or the [...]

Black Birds

My friend, Lisa, and I were joking awhile back about how the black birds in Austin seemed to be migrating South… very slowly. A few months ago they were north of the city, then they were swarming downtown for several weeks. Now I’m seeing them in my ‘hood down South.
