  • Dents for 2011-08-08

    @balleyne Yeah those are not the greatest. I recommend the new #Samsung and #HTC #Android phones. Easy enough to root and good device specs. # Powered by modified Twitter Tools.

  • Dents for 2011-08-05

    42 more e-mails to figure out. Then on to trip planning and playing catch-up. Life does not slow down, does it? # Inbox zero achieved. The grand unified GTD to-do list is in place. I wish I had done this months ago. Now about that trip to Poland… # Powered by modified Twitter Tools.

  • Comments Off As Life Picks Up

    Life, nature or  the universe has a perverse sense of humour.  The next day after I posted my last blog post, optimistic of the future and looking forward to approaching life in a slower pace… well everything happens at once.  And it seems like someone decided to fall asleep on the ‘drama’ button in my…

  • California Dreamin’ – Part 2

    So I am back in California again at the request of my client.  Fortunately for not as long as last time.  While Northern California is a great place to live in, it is not quite the palm lined, sunny, warm dream that Hollywood and LA make it out to be.  Summer in the San Francisco…

  • California Dreaming

    Good morning all! Maybe there are better things to do than to update your blog, right before you start work.  And looking at my e-mails and my to-do lists make me feel like this will be a long day.  But considering my recent silence I thought an update on me is in order.  Plus if…

  • Are We Running Out of Resources

    I’m reposting this from LRC.  It is an interesting note to bring up when discussions about resources running out, come up at a dinner party.  While not perfect, conservation of resources comes built into the price-economic calculation.

  • Ash Wednesday

    Today is Ash Wednesday.  What a day it was.  Started off with a dentist, ended up with me walking through slush in the driving wet snow.  Not exactly the funnest of days.  But I guess appropriate for the beginning of Lent. I’ve decided that this Lent, I will work on resolving a nagging deep personal…

  • Innovation in Increments

    I have the good fortune of working in a Research & Development group. That means I get to learn about new ideas, experiment with them and apply them appropriately. Unfortunately I can not discuss my current project, other than it involves automating the creation of mobile applications. While I can not say that I am…

  • Negotiations – Rejected Sci-Fi Short Story

    Author’s note:  This short story was submitted to the 365 Tomorrows site.  But was rejected due to the content not meeting the editor’s requirements.  This was a particularly challenging piece, as I had a severe word limit on the submission.  This is the final product of hours of painstaking editing.  Enjoy. Negotiations A Science Fiction…

  • No Need to Complain

    This post is dedicated to my good friend Rudy. As I drove back from work on Monday with Rudy, I drove poor Rudy crazy with my complaints about work. Sure there are less than ideal situations that I have to deal with everyday. But I’m sure that everyone else who works, also comes up against…
