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 …
eBay of the Week (100th post to SAW)
Check out this Washburn M3SW Mandolin on eBay. And stay tuned for another personal status update from me! And a big round of applause for making it to the big 100th post. Almost 18 months after I started… I’m (mostly) still here. Also, please check out Zack Scott Reports. Zack paid large sums of money …

The King of Side-Jobs: Bad Dad
…I don’t want to become the bad dad. It seems like I read a lot of “don’t be defined by your job” or “unfortunately, the first question asked upon meeting someone new is ‘so what do you do for a living?’” “But Bryan, the work I do doesn’t really define me.” Well, maybe you’re doing …
Who does Yahoo! think they are? (or How To Turn Away Your Biggest Fans)
Flickr: Really cool. Yahoo!: Really big. I decided to use a Flickr account for the youth group that I work with at church. In order to do so, I needed to create a Yahoo! account (yes, I got in after the acquisition). I created one, uploaded some pictures and then went a few weeks without …

Capture the Song
I’ve got a lot on my mind, so you may notice that I’m frequently publishing short little entries. I’m still capturing at least 4-lines of lyrics to tape everyday, mostly with some accompaniment. Since I’ve gotten back into writing regularly, inspiration seems to come at odd times. Lyrically, I’m always prepared because I’ve got the …
Day 10 of 48
Sometimes the news that hits you like a ton of bricks is actually what you expected all along. I can’t really explain any more than that, but today, Dan Miller’s 48 Days to the Work You Love has me recreate my resumé. This is probably the oddest resumé I’ve ever created, but maybe that’s been …
Bryan and Murphy
Just as if I needed further convincing that I’m in the wrong place, the yesterday’s work day was beyond terror. The sick feeling I get when walking in the building was met by a few brilliantly-placed and crafted processes (read: “who came up with this idea?”), personality conflict and overall frustration. Then Murphy bears his …
…Like Everything I’ve Ever Heard Before
It’s funny. I know I read this back in May, but sometimes repetition of a theme really is worth it. Formalization counts for something to. I suppose we should all get together and write a book about this process, or has Fred already done that (it is on my reading list, by the way, I’m …
