Too Busy to Blog?
October 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment
What happens when so many phenomenal things are happening that you just don’t have the time to write about them? Sure, I tweet about everything that is going on, but Twitter is simple. I can almost do that with my eyes closed. Writing a blog post about all the cool stuff does take more of [...]

March 30, 2008 | 1 Comment
Thanks to fellow San Antonian and self-described Code Monkey, Vidya (@mapetite on Twitter), I’ve been tagged and charged with the task of sharing 5 things about myself you may not know…yet. Which is sort of a challenge for me at this point. I mean what don’t you know about me yet that I [...]

They’re usually things we didn’t do well at the year before. And just as there are many resolutions for the New Year [...]
