I’ve decided that I have been pretty slack in my tracking of goals, tasks and well.. overall efficiency. Sometimes I feel as if I am spending too much time trying to be productive and less time ACTUALLY being productive. (if that makes sense). I have a bit of OCD when […]
iMac Hard Drive Madness
I have had an issue recently with my hard drive going effing bezerk. It would sit there and spin like mad, make all the noise in the world and take up resources like it was a blue whale sucking in ocean water. It was driving me nuts. Oh.. and one […]
Get your Christmas Pebble Watchface
I was messing around with a couple Christmas watch faces for my Pebble. I think things got a little out of hand with creating them. Initially I wasn’t going to share them out.. but decided to. I grabbed some images from the web.. and hadn’t sourced the clip arts.. if […]
Using Pebble for my Starbucks Card
OK, this was not my idea..but in many discussions about people using their Pebble watch for barcodes, I thought I’d try it out. I gotta say, it works great and you get a lot of geek-cred with the baristas. (if that means much these days). Here is what I […]

My Backup Process
I am very particular about the backups of files that I have. The main reason for this is my fear of losing digital photos, but in general, this is how I approach it. (and to be clear, I am forever refining) Goal for my backups: at least 3 copies […]
Music and technology coming together in a big way for me
Today was my last day at Microsoft. One of many jobs that has shaped my career. I’ve been in the tech space for quite some time now. To be more precise, I have really been focused in mobile for the past 14 years. My life in mobile started out […]
Don’t get religious on your stance for web design
While responsive web design has been around for a while, it really seems like the past 6 months or so it’s bounced back into the spotlight. I have seen a lot of articles talking about the pros and cons of using such approaches. Some of these articles are quite prescriptive […]
