I came across this David Foster Wallace quote today: Because the technology is just gonna get better and better and better and better. And it’s gonna get easier and easier, and more and more convenient, and more and more pleasurable, to be alone with images on a screen, given to us by people who do…

The weather was wild today. No rain, no hail, but plenty of wind. Sadly, we had forgotten to take down our outside shade umbrella, and we learned the hard way why it was 50% off. Snap.

Some weekends are flat out, and I arrive at Sunday night exhausted. Others (although this is very rare), are quiet, and I get to Sunday slightly bored. This weekend was perfectly balanced. Dinner with friends on Friday and Saturday, birthday party today, a chance to go to the gym and go for a run, and…

Almost four years ago, I bought a shaving soap tub. It looked like this: Well, after using it 4-5 times per week, or around 800 times, it is is finally finished. Not bad for $10. Wet shaving, with a brush, safety razor, and a traditional soap is easily the biggest cost saving hack I can…

It’s Occi’s birthday weekend, and we have decided to go to a super cute mountain town called Steamboat Springs. It is gorgeous. The three of us have had the best time, and it has absolutely been worth the 4 hour drive and the inevitable turbo turd on the highway.

We have a big client on the books, and it’s a little make or break for us to do a good job for them. With such a tight deadline, my colleague and I worked all of today, Saturday. What I thought we could knock off in a few hours took us about 9 hours, but…
