I was in knots as I walked out of the office. So much on my mind. So much to process. I looked up and saw a shade of blue sky that gave me an excuse. So for the next twenty minutes I walked around and thought only about blue. It was calming, for the time...
The promising NPR.com is undergoing a redesign. A very clean design with simple navigation, lots of white space and tons of information without the need to scroll or click through. Plus customization like picking your local station helps to really create a “home” for the user. Plus the demo video itself is very well put...

Well I stayed longer than I thought I would (but I’m not complaining), but now it’s time to move on. My ABQ chapter is officially in the books. Whenever I go somewhere new, I always end up taking lots of pictures, noticing tons of things and writing a ton… I’ve been stepping aside, pulling over...

Today is March 8th and apparently the ladies, or lay-dies as I prefer, and I have something in common.

Kerry claims later not to have seen a thing and that it happened in another room. Pretty spine-less senator, the video shows the truth. You...

While I was driving over to ABQ, as I tend to do, I jotted a few my thoughts on the scraps of paper within arms reach. Here’s a few of the sights and sounds I noticed on the road to Albuquerque… -The way it worked out, to cross over to Arizona I had to cross...

I’ve never had cable TV before, but at my new place I’ve been watching it a bit and I’ve noticed there are a lot of advertisements with scantily clad women and commercials of models having their picture taken. My roommate also buys a bunch of tuner magazines and these always have scantily clad women all...

Here’s my random thought of the day… Burning man is coming up quick and out of curiosity I thought I’d look into how to get there. I found the usual tour bus stuff, trains to Reno and a couple of posts on Craigslist from folks looking to split the gas, but a few that caught...

On Tuesday I got into New York City, it’s my first time here and my first thought is, “wow, it’s hot here, I should have packed my T-shirts.” My next thought is, “wow, this place is amazing.” I can see why people love this place. I hopped on a bus and rode out to Harlem....

There should be a software application called “Cake” and then you’re slogan could be “and you can eat it to”… and you can make T-Shirts that say “eat it!” And the program would be for letting us create Hollywood style special effects in our multimedia pieces. (Hey I said the thoughts were random, I just...
