Catching Up After My Hiatus

A lot has transpired since I last updated my blog. Obviously I decided that writing in my blog needed to take a backseat to my current ventures. I made the choice after my ventures began demanding more of my time and I realized that my goal for blogging was not to make money; something which [...]

Detroit Wins? UAW Wins? Who Loses?

Well, it looks like today wasn’t the windfall in the economy that it could have been. For now, that’s been postponed by comments that the Treasury will do what the Senate was smart enough not to do …loan unsound businesses lots of taxpayer money. Only Ford’s CEO, Alan Mulally, had the foresight to leverage company [...]

Re-shuffling The Deck

Well, the time may be nigh. It seems that once or twice in a lifetime, a re-shuffling of the deck occurs. That is, a time when the rich get richer but many rich also get weeded out. Giants topple and opportunities for the smart arise. These are times when someone who had all obstacles and [...]

Bad Grammer – Too Funny

Ok, It’s been a veeeeery long while since my last post and that’s mostly due to working non-stop (almost literally) and pulling all-nighter after all-nighter for months. Even though one of my clients (recently my primary source of funding until now) is going out of business and the economy is crumbling around us, my business [...]

Unfortunately, I am having to file bankruptcy, even though I am an exception to the irresponsible credit rule. Typically, [...]

Tony’s Bachelor Party

Another Chapter: Don’t Piss Off The Fairies

Ok, so this time my extended delay between posts wasn’t just because of work… This time, nature played a part and nearly killed me. So, here goes, yet another chapter in my life. On Tuesday, I went to a client site all day and then I had to decide on my way home whether or [...]

Expanding Horizons

This week has been “packed” compared to the already overwhelming past couple of months, but at least the week is nearing its end. Although I will still be working through yet another weekend, it will be “at my leisure” for once. I will only be working briefly on two web design projects and on ShrinkTheWeb [...]

Overcoming Insurmountable Barriers

It seems so far away, but I am hoping that July proves to be a calmer month than these last few. Even though it seems afar off, I know it will be here and gone before I know it. Things seem to keep getting tougher and tougher while the future keeps simultaneously looking brighter and [...]

Up All Night

It’s 6am and I’ve been working since noon yesterday. At least I’ve completed budgeting for April, finished up a website that’ll help catch me up on my bills this week, sent out the ShrinkTheWeb newsletter, and released the ShrinkTheWeb feature for capturing specific page thumbnails. This is HUGE in the webmaster world and it makes [...]
