I’ve spent the first part of this week here in Philly at the Technical Communication Summit. I am exhausted, inspired, and excited about the future of the STC and the people that I met there. This is my first year as an official member of the Program Advisory Committee, and the second year being involved […]

I have been a bachelor for the last 6 days and I have had the best time.
My wife took the kids to the in-laws’ house for spring break, leaving me and the dog back home. This was the first time in a while that I’ve been completely unsupervised, so I forgot what it was like […]

Today is the first day of my new job.
It has been a few weeks since I have written a post, but I at least have a good reason, or a good one to me on any account. Before Friday, I was an Information Architect, serving on a product management team. It was a great group […]

Today is my second day back at work. On one hand, it is good to be back in my daily routine where I am comfortable (and my hands don’t smell like baby wipes.) On the other, I sure do miss spending all day with the kids, even when they act like deranged meerkats. I miss […]

I am going to be totally honest here. I have always been a little bit irritated about all of the ‘Breast Cancer Awareness’ hype you see around town, the Internet, and the media. Where are the brown ribbons for prostate cancer? Where are the testicular cancer walks? You don’t see the Cojones Crawl or anything […]

Welcome to the first post in the new format of my blog. I have put too much time in cutting and pasting a year’s worth of posts from two blogs and compiled them here on my own domain. I am now free to link to who I want and to promote the site how I […]

Wow. Just got back from a week in Vegas. I’m exhausted, but it was an awesome experience. I learned a whole lot about social media, SEO, and how social media can help with SEO. When we put this trip together we were working for one company and had lots of ideas for what we could […]

Gamer Tags. It’s the name that we are known by in the Xbox Live world, but is it something more? By tapping into someone’s gamer tag origins, will we find out something important about their inner being? Will we find out that they are just uncreative slobs who enter the first thing they can think […]

As my interests waned in one area, my interest in online video games started to grow. I got my first taste of it in 95 when I and the other Tech Support guys at a local ISP abused our low ping on Quake and Command and Conquer. It didn’t last long (I’m not cut out […]

As is customary in the natural world, I will start my posts with a little bit about myself, why I am into gaming, and what my reason for doing this blog is.
First and foremost, I am an avid gamer and student of the gaming industry. No, I don’t work for a gaming company, but I […]
