Grow Up (View Comments)
When I was in college, I skipped a lot of class. I used to rationalize it by saying to myself I was busy with other things. I was running a couple student groups, I was coaching football, I was working a job, I was spending a lot of time at the local bookstore reading marketing [...]
the invisible man (View Comments)
I have always had a problem with trying to do big, important things. It’s not a problem in that it often works – for whatever reason, many projects I’ve undertaken have been successful for just this reason. But it’s a problem because I’m often closing a door to the mundane as a result. We as [...]
Free Lunch (View Comments)
With the wedding and my upcoming move to Chicago, I’ve been worried a lot about money lately. This week I resolved to not spend any money eating out. This afternoon, as I was sitting in a Starbucks, I realized that I hadn’t eaten anything all day. A few minutes after I realized I was pretty [...]
Dart Practice (View Comments)
It’s a little embarassing when people ask me what my fiance and I talk about when we’re alone. Embarassing because the conversations usually go something like this: Person 1: What kind of tree is that? Person 2: You’re a tree. Person 1: You’re a leaf. Person 2: You’re a fig. Person 1: You’re a newton. [...]
wanting to filibuster (View Comments)
Went to Washington for the International Ecotourism Gala. I’ve decided that Washington is one of my favorite cities. It’s a young city, very much like New York. Everyone is full of life, everyone seems to be going somewhere or doing something important. It’s like seeing all the idealism in the country congregated in one place, [...]
photographer / writer / designer / hero (View Comments)
I have a buddy back in Colorado. This guy spends his days humbly behind the desk of a publication you’ve probably never heard of. His official job is to manage content for their online presence. But he is probably their best designer, he’s become one of their regular photographers (shooting the likes of Roger Ebert [...]
Buy. Silver. Now. (View Comments)
Two years ago I was contemplating buying silver. At the time, it was hovering around $4 an ounce, and had remained pretty dormant for a long time. The market was down, I couldn’t afford to buy real estate, but I wanted to do something with the meager finances I had. Of course, all my friends [...]
two hundred posts. (View Comments)
It’s been nearly three years since I started writing. It’s amazing what a person learns… I learned for the first time what mourning meant when I lost someone very close to my heart – my childhood beagle, Lucy. I learned that though they may not have complex brains…or skills marketable in the professional workplace…or refined [...]
WordPress as a CMS – The Ecotourism Auction Site (View Comments)
I’m wrapping up work this weekend on a site for The International Ecotourism Society in Washington. They hold an auction every year that is responsible for the bulk of their operating revenue, and they wanted a site that would get people excited about the vacation possibilities they had to offer. They also wanted to give [...]
Irish blasphemy (View Comments)
I’ve got a lot of Irish in me (red hair, blue eyes, bright white skin, etc,) but for some reason I’ve never been all that into St. Patrick’s Day. Part of it may be that I haven’t the slightest idea who St. Patrick was and what he did – from what I can surmise, he [...]
