The Light At The End Of A Dark Tunnel Named Unemployment

August 27th, 2009 Stwo Comments

Now, that I am no longer unemployed, I feel much more comfortable sharing the details of being unemployed. I have always prided myself on being a hard working, dedicated, and passionate employee of whatever company I have worked for. Thanks to an awful economy, I was laid off from my job in February.

How (not?) To Maintain A Relationship With A Non-Geek (part 1)

August 7th, 2009 Stwo Comments

I’ve been thinking on this topic for quite a while and now that the blog is up, I have an outlet to express my feelings on this sensitive topic.  When I first met my girlfriend (going forward she will be known as Noodles, to protect her anonymity), about a year ago, we were completely enraptured with one another from the very first moment.  I am so lucky to have met a woman with her sense of humor, intelligence, determination, perseverance, and of course, beauty.   We spent countless days and nights together, sharing our thoughts and feelings on everything imaginable.  I definitely clued her in on my love for technology, and I’m sure she could tell that I had some geek in me from looking at my apartment.  I had the PC hooked up to the HD-TV, the iPhone, the Xbox 360, and a slew of other gadgets.  We even played some games together occasionally.  In fact, I was not even ashamed to tell her I was a World of Warcraft player. (I no longer play, but that’s another story)  She seemed to appreciate my geekiness as a charming part of my character.  Fast forward to 1 year later, and it seems to be causing a bit of a rift between us.  It is no longer charming, but quite the opposite.  I have definitely rubbed off on her with some things, but there are still many other points of contention between us, all related to geekery.

Thank you Adria Richards

August 4th, 2009 Stwo Comments

I have been wanting to start a blog for quite a long time now.  Although I consider myself to be quite savvy with all of this stuff, the prospect of designing and setting up my own blog was a bit daunting.  Thanks to Adria Richards (@adriarichards) I now have this blog to share my thoughts, ideas, music, jailbreak instructions, and anything else I may come up with in the future.  If you don’t follow Adria on twitter, I highly recommend it.  She is one of the most selfless people I have ever had the pleasure to meet.  Adria takes pleasure in helping people establish a presence on the web.  I take pleasure in listening to and collaborating with her.  Don’t forget to check out her websites. (and here) Thanks Adria!
