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.

If it’s not one thing, it’s another. Because of my pending lawsuit against Progressive for not paying out on my uninsured motorist claim from last year, I got insurance from another provider. I was told that as long as my MVR (driving record) didn’t have anything on it other than what I told them, I [...]

Time Flies… So, Am I Having Fun?

Sorry for just another quick update and little substance, but I had to at least take a moment to post that I got my first round of funding for my “Shrink The Web” project. So, I’m really excited -to say the least! Now, I can buy that nice skateboard I always wanted! lol. j/k Anyway, [...]

Missing In Action

I’ve been missing in action for awhile now (over a week, I think), but it’s because I’ve finally been making some progress and working long, crazy hours (18 hours per day). I have quite a bit of news to share but some of it I cannot yet disclose due to non-disclosure reasons. As far as [...]

It’s Like The Wizard Of Oz

Have you ever gotten a ticket or been to court for any reason whatsoever? If so and you were not guilty, were still you one of the 99.9% that was talked out of pleading your case to the judge? If you were, don’t feel bad. The district attorney is paid to scare you and use [...]
