  • London, My Condolences

    Her majesty IM’d me this morning about the terrorist attacks on London by first hoping that Guy wasn’t near the blast, and then giving me context to London being attacked. So far I’ve heard Guy Watson, Peter Hall, Mike Downey (he’s travelling there), and Aral Balkan are ok since all but Mike are in Flash Forward New York City.

    Anyone who says that tragic events that occur outside of America don’t affect us is wrong. My first thoughts after hearing it were to confirm there were casualties, and ensure my friends were ok. Even though they are, I’m still shaken and horribly saddened about those injured and killed. There are still a ton of other brits I don’t know if they are ok or not from the Flash community…

    I’m finding it extremely hard to concentrate.

  • BA Graduation 2005

    I’ve got 1 class left which I’ll finish in June, but I walked last Saturday (April 30th) to receive my degree, a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Leadership & Management. It actually won’t get mailed till about July, but that’s fine by me. The last year and a half has been extremely tough doing work + contract + school + marriage + trying to keep abreast of technology + personal branding + as much gaming & drinking as possible. I’ve no idea what I’ll do for a Masters yet. Onward!

  • Your Arm Is Worthless

    “We don’t take arms here, sir.”

    That’ll be the reply in 2012 from a fast-food-dispenser machine mechanic when they start inserting microchips into your wrist that contains credit/debit card information, and you go to an establishment that doesn’t accept that as a method of payment.

    “Uh… wtf? My arm works just fine thank you; I can code with it AND pay for this meal you twit!”

    I guess since I live in the boonies, Mickey-Dees-nuts assumes us country folk don’t use dem dere creh-dit kards…

    Dude, it’s the 20th century, cash & checks are so for my parents generation… and there IS a difference between a debit card and a credit card… idiots.

    I can go 2 exits further towards Atlanta, and they take debit cards there… idiots.
