Being Offline
So six days ago I decided that I was going to go offline. Went on a personal trip and left the laptop at home. I had my smart phone but did not really use it beyond coordinating movements with the folks I has hanging out with. Being offline created quite a bit of free time. […]

Not like I really need it after a three day snowcation but I am heading out to Utah for a real vacation. As I mentioned in my time off the grid post, I am leaving the laptop at home. The first trip I have taken in over eight years without one. I am taking my […]

The other day while perusing Twitter I came across Typealyzer. Typealyzer is an application that looks at the content of a blog to determine its personality within the Myer-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) framework. Merely type in the URL of the blog and voila.

It being Festivus it seems quite appropriate to air a grievance during an otherwise perfect holiday season. My grievance is with American Express. I am deeply disappointed with them. I had an AMEX charge card before I had a credit card. It was the first card I owned and used. Honestly was surprised that they […]
