Observed Again?

Tuesday, December 17th, 2002 · 1 Comment

Wow, I’m really beginning to wonder if some government types are keeping an eye on me. Have I been targeted as a dangerous liberal extremist?

Monday, December 16th, 2002 · Comments Off on Movin’ Up the Ranks

Longing for City Life

Sunday, December 15th, 2002 · Comments Off on Longing for City Life

A mere 4 months after moving north to Marin, Jen and I continue to long for city life. Marin simply does not have the same omnipresent energy of San Francisco. We miss that. A lot. All our friends are in the city, too. So today we’re finally taking the first steps toward doing something about […]

MT Donation

Saturday, December 14th, 2002 · Comments Off on MT Donation

I decided today that I’ve been using Movable Type long enough (since Halloween 2002) and that I love it enough to make a donation.

Friday, December 13th, 2002 · Comments Off on Do You, uh, Froogle?

Taking another step ahead in the search engine competition with Yahoo and others, Google recently unveiled its new Froogle service, which allows users to search specifically for products for sale online.

Demotivation

Friday, December 13th, 2002 · Comments Off on Demotivation

I received this URL to purchase a demotivation poster from a coworker and fellow Employee Leadership Program attendee. It’s funny.
