how you can learn about economics

17 November 2008

Once upon a time, I took an entry-level economics course at Georgia Tech. It was part of the required curriculum for engineers, so it’s not like I took the class because I had this burning desire to learn about supply, demand, and why I don’t have any money.
Anyway, even though I had a full semester’s [...]

because that groove is hard to find

12 June 2007

If you’ve ever been in the business of content production, then you know that you can get on a bit of a roll after a while. Sometimes those rolls can last for a few days, and other times, they only last for a couple of hours.
For me, they’ve been elusive lately, but I have to [...]

wherein we see if this bish works

14 May 2007

Whenever you release a theme, you really need to take the time to fine-tune even the finest detail. Here are just a few:

wherein i buy stuff

5 March 2007

Right now I’ve got this great new monitor, the 30" Apple Cinema HD, and although it just begs to be used for design and coding purposes, all I’ve been able to do is code up some non-paying client sites.
Non-paying? Client? What?
It’s not entirely non-paying. It just doesn’t pay immediately, so that also makes it a [...]

march, rain, suck

1 March 2007

I distinctly remember telling my girlfriend that March would suck. This was all the way back in 2006, so bear in mind that things may have been different back then…
Suffice it to say, though, that March did end up sucking, and there I stood on the 31st, right once again.
When you live in this part [...]

where the chips fall

27 February 2007

Sometimes writing in this manner is really strange. Take the title of this post, for instance. I didn’t give it any thought beforehand, but at the same time, I had to tell myself that this was the title I was going to accept because it was the first thing that came to mind. Strangely, I [...]

is lucid dreaming unconscious zen?

27 February 2007

I don’t know much about lucid dreaming, especially considering that I have basically stopped having vivid, memorable dreams altogether. I remember being a kid and having these incredibly vivid mental pictures and happenings while I was fast asleep, but at this point, I couldn’t tell you how long it’s been since those experiences have passed.
I [...]

there are no moral victories

10 November 2006

Yesterday morning, the University of Louisville football team was in the driver’s seat for a berth in the BCS National Championship game. Despite sustaining (and weathering) some key injuries so far this season, the team still appeared to be competitive with anyone in the nation — a tough out for even the most heralded opponent, [...]

the intersection of goodwill and profit

7 November 2006

I find it incredibly hard to focus on profit-driven ventures. I mean, I can sit there and hammer things out for a little while, but lately I’ve found that my attention span for such things has grown shorter and shorter.
You’d think it would be easy to get up out of bed in the morning and [...]

what are you, really?

13 October 2006

Finding your lot in life (and I don’t even like calling it your “lot”) is not something that is necessarily easy to do. You have to mix desires, emotions, needs, talents, and other stuff, and somehow, you’re supposed to emerge with a very clear perception of yourself and the path you should walk in life.
I [...]
