Sometimes you make an observation that must be written down for posterity, a thing that you constantly ruminate but yet never seem to place into words. Sitting at a traffic light, I was finally able to take one such ambiguous viewpoint and crystallize it into something worth sharing.
It has been a little less than four months since I married my wife. These are my reflections on that day and some of the events leading up to it; a brief narrative of a day that is already blurry but will (paradoxically) be burned into my mind for the rest of my life.
We bought a house… 6 months ago. With time comes clarity, and with clarity comes the need to document the experience. Read on about our decisions, reasoning, a synopsis of the experience, and what we learned.
Woweee… there hasn’t been a new post up here for awhile has there? Life has changed a lot, and I’m recommitting to jotting it down here.
Upon much contemplation, I have decided that my life’s love is gaming. Console, PC, web, phone… whatever. Musings over finding your niche in this big Web thing we live in and involving your passions in the process.
A brief recap of the recent months and the gap in posting. Life marches on to an interesting beat.
We all have moments when we come to the realization that our heroes in life are, in fact, human. I’d recently experienced this sensation in regard to a professional idol. But it made me realize that I’ve grown enough in my career that I’m able to look at someone who was previously infallible in a more objective sense, and that is an emboldening feeling.
With the amount of time I seem to spend lately plugged into the cloud, I decided to reflect a bit on the tangible sources of information and creativity: books. Unsearchable, vulnerable to wear and tear, bulky, and prone to fading – what sustains hard copy books in the face of so much digitization?
There’s been a lot happening on the Web lately. Twitter is constantly in the news. There’s a guy using Craigslist to kill people. “Social Media” is now the newest trigger-happy member of the buzzword family. It raises a lot of interesting questions and observations about how our culture is being changed by this giant connecting force, and what some of the impacts of those changes may be.
