Unfortunately, the mandolin didn’t meet the reserve on eBay, and didn’t sell. Much to my surprise, there were no bids in the last 12 hours of the auction. Maybe I’ve got a disordered view of the way eBay works. Despite this setback, I’ve got two more auctions going on right now to see if eBay …

Belief
…Seems to be the theme of the day. I did a good job catching up on my Google Reader subscription list last evening. Then when I opened my Google home page this morning, the only two new entries were both entitled “Belief”. At first, I was really scared. I thought someone was trying to tell …
My Current Career
I haven’t talked much about my career. I’ve got a pretty good theory as to why this is. When I was in software, piddling unfulfilled in a cubicle all day, I had plenty to complain about. Now I don’t have time to complain because I’m busy doing the work that I absolutely love. What do …
Family Life July ’06
As promised, and update on the family: It’s a… Ok, so we won’t know the sex of the baby for another 2 weeks, but Cindy and I are expecting our third child in December! What do you DO all day? Mom works at home with the kids, and I’m working at home. Since I’ve got …
Clear Like Tar
Contrary to my normal behavior, I’ve been a stranger lately. Not just because I haven’t been communicating much. When I have communicated, it hasn’t been deep. So I’m going to treat everyone to a few posts that are deep. Family Life – what’s new with the family? Career – it’s funny how I don’t complain …
Minor GTD with Gmail Corrections
More than a year ago, I published the GTD with Gmail Whitepaper here on space-age wasteland. Some very minor (but very confusing) errors were pointed out and I have revised the document. Here it is.
Wikipedia GTD Mention
The GTD with Gmail Whitepaper gets a mention in Wikipedia (Principles of GTD Organization) and an external link. It’s pretty awesome that the author mentioned me by name. I love the smell of The Long Tail. A (quite infrequent) review of Google Analytics showed a big spike in traffic (zero-something) referred from en.wikipedia.org and I …
Uncle Widget CDs Available Online
Yesterday, I got a status update from CDBaby that my Uncle Widget CD, “Bedtime on Mars” has been added to the store. Until now, I’ve only been able to sell to people I meet on the street. Go buy one! This is also one step closer to Uncle Widget on the iTunes Music Store. Related …
Transparency of The Web
After this post, I got an email from a friend asking my opinion on how much information is “safe to reveal” on the Internet. In the above referenced post, I write about how a website is becoming a must-have. But how far is too far? You’ll find that I’m a pretty transparent web-body. Maybe that’s …
“My Webwhat?”
Since I spend about 90 minutes a week with a large group of high-school students, I get to spend time picking their brains about the ins and outs of culture and the vast teenage wasteland. Even with myspace being “so wicked awesome” and pervasive, I’d guess that 50% of the high-schoolers I know don’t even …
