in Life Live Stream Truckin’
I had a genuinely bizarre call today. Or maybe it was incredible. I’m still not sure. A guy named Steve called and asked me if I was the owner of Southern Web, where I work. As soon as I told him I wasn’t the owner he said “well I guess that’s ok” and began to …
in Technology Automattic Bought Tumblr and That’s a Good Thing
Today Automattic bought Tumblr. That beloved microblogging platform of yesteryear? The one that was the Snapchat equivalent of GenXers like myself? While I never maintained a super active Tumblr, I always loved the concept — share pics and interesting links and quick thoughts effortlessly. I even tried something similar in the early days of this …
in Life The Fist Bump 👊
I was walking down the street near my home on an evening stroll, when a chiseled specimen came toward me from the opposite direction. He was out on an evening run and was making some really incredible time. I was out walking, trying to get a bit of exercise, and I think he could tell. …

So much of the time we rely on hobbies, or sports teams, or favorite Netflix Originals to bridge the gap between small talk and budding friendships. But we almost never think about the possibility that pain, or hardship, or …
in Life That Time I Got Banned From 7-Eleven
As far as I know I’m the only person on the planet to ever be banned from a 7-Eleven. Granted, it was only from one location and not the entire chain, but still, I was genuinely asked by a 7-Eleven franchisee to never return to their establishment again. To this day I don’t believe I …
in Life Mother’s Day at Walmart
I don’t know if you’ve ever been to a Walmart SuperCenter between the hours of 2 and 5am but I’d never recommend it. It’s like FEMA has come though with their latest round of supplies since the most recent disaster. Aisles are littered with pallets of Great Value™ baked goods and whatever horrible sauce concoction …
