Had to go in that conf file, right near the […]

tantrum and a wreck

October 13, 2010

I believe this is the only proof of me landing a tantrum this year, and then followed by a good wreck! Thanks wifey for the fine video job.

interesting stats on tweets

October 12, 2010

“Toronto-based social media analytics company Sysomos scanned 1.2 billion messages that were sent in August and September 2009 to try and get some idea of the kind of conversations that are going on.

Injury list…

October 1, 2010

The Road

November 30, 2009

Kate and I are anxious to see “The Road” that is just now hitting certain theaters.  We both read the book over the summer (Cormac McCarthy) and it was fantastically dark and beautiful. The movie looks good too:
