Is this how he would have done it? All day long I’ve been shaking the ghost of Hunter S. Thompson. I’m in Puerto Rico. By myself. A small, glass table is pulled into the middle of the room, the darkness of the ocean seen through the front door. The apartment is small, in New York [...]

Interference
By admin in WordplayA lot of times in my life, I tried to stop people from doing things that I thought were dumb.This, in light of the fact that I’ve always justified the dumb things that I do as a “new experience” or even “I just had to do it” I remember when I tried to stop a [...]

Road Music
By admin in The Missing Person, WordplaySo I had a fairly busy weekend – lucky enough to get out of the house, go down to see some friends and family, then pop back up to NYC in time for work tomorrow (yay!). It’s been a while since I’ve been on a road trip – the past month has had me locked [...]

Growing up, growing good
By admin in TechDates, WordplayWe are surrounded by a deluge of technology in the tech arena. Some developers are good at some things. Some at others. Currently, I work in a place where people are required to be good at a multitude of skillsets. It is very difficult to just be good at say, MySQL and have that talent [...]

Here comes the Pain
By admin in TechDates, The Missing Person, WordplayThe hills have been alive with the curses and complaints of internet enthusiasts everywhere in the United States. The MPAA, RIAA, and any other media-related acronym have been properly vilified in nearly every public forum available. It’s only right, it seems the logical response to all the bullshit they’ve pulled lately, and for the bullshit [...]

Fictional Scream
By admin in WordplayOn the past two weeks, I’ve been on a literary tear, putting down “Ender’s Game” and “Fight Club” in a matter of days each. I am, I think, in search of writing styles to influence my own recent foray into creating fiction. Most of the time I spent reading previous to the past two weeks [...]

Am Just guy with Keyboredz
By admin in TechDates, Wordplay“We need humour to point to the absurdity of our self-obsession.” – Ajahn Sumedho A good friend relayed a story about an intellectual arms race he once had with a co-worker. He said something along the lines of “you could be right about something, but then he had to be more right” Programmers tend to [...]

Output, acceptance, the way Forward
By admin in TechDates, WordplayI was recently asked by a colleague if our level of committment is really noticed. And I said no, not because our bosses don’t appreciate us (I’m sure they do, and they tell us routinely), but mainly because just about every person gets so wrapped up in their own life that he or she tends [...]

The kids still like it
By admin in The Missing Person, WordplaySo I’m convinced that we are going to enter another great age of music. As you shake your head in disgust, stop yourself for a second to hear me out – you know that you’re either going back to look at pictures of cats or pornography if you close the tab. So that can wait. [...]

There is no middle ground
By admin in WordplaySo, I’m fortunate enough to fall on the liberal side of the Occupy Wall Street debate. And I have to say this – Why is there even a debate, or better yet, a problem with what they are doing? Who even gives enough of a shit to complain about people complaining? And now I’m complaining [...]
