There is someone I used to know who has looked me up on a social network site and wants to add me as a friend. While we were friendly, I wouldn’t characterize us as having been friends; it would be more fair to call us “amicable associates”. The real rub, Zombie Ann, is that I […]
I failed to mention this on the TANcast we just recorded last night, but TANcast is now also available via the Blubrry network: http://blubrry.com/tancast/ As I mentioned previously, we’ll be swapping our nigh-abandoned podcasting plugin, PodPress, with Blubrry’s Powerpress plugin, just as soon as they release the next update that enables auto-migration of old posts. […]
I just stepped out of the house to warm up the car before taking my son to get a shot, and it is TEN FUCKING DEGREES out here (-12 C for people using the more sensible metric system). I live at a fairly low latitude and altitude, so this is pretty insane. I miss California […]
Tim mentioned personal crises in a previous post. Here’s some details on mine. The Bush-flavored economy finally bested me. My company had a huge (like 1/6 gone) “reduction in force” that included several directors and executives and moved around whole organizational structures.

This is a meandering tale, so please bear with me. By the end I will have decided on a new direction to take in my life. I told a story back in TANcast 012 about how a guy I used to work with had apparently been referring to me as “Mmmmmm, Bear!” to a mutual […]
… on Thursday night, my bank seems to have failed and been bought by another. Exciting times! Since JPMorgan Chase doesn’t appear to have any branches or ATMs in the Metro Atlanta area, the only benefit I can see is that WaMu sucked hind teat when it came to systems integration. We opened a bank […]
Following on what Tim just said, several years ago Tim, Noah, OG Steph, and I all took a trip that I lovingly call “24 Hours of Disney”. We started with a power nap, then got up around 3 AM, loaded into my car, and drove from San Jose to Anaheim. The rest of them continued […]
I’m not sure what I can say to make this sound funnier than just quoting PETA‘s own press release title: PETA Asks Ben & Jerry’s to Dump Dairy and Go With Human Milk Instead No offense to vegetarians or vegans (looking at you, mom and Iris), but seriously, how fucked up are these people? Either […]
