Tuesday, July 29th, 2008Bill Gates is such an asshole.
That’s not what I think, but a lot of people do. In fact the level of vitriol directed towards Bill Gates and Microsoft is really quite mind boggling considering that the man has given away tens of millions of dollars of his own money to charities funding AIDS prevention, agriculture [...]

Don’t Worry, Be Happy Guy: The Sturdy Brothers Stop By For a Visit
Saturday, July 26th, 2008Sometimes you look for inspiration, and sometimes inspiration finds you. This morning I was sitting at the front desk of the hostel where I have been working, sipping some over-sweetened almost cold coffee and feeling a little down in the dumps.
It was the sort of general malaise that only genius possess and the insane [...]

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008This photo was taken on a very sunny day, and as a result it was pretty much impossible to get a good exposure of such a high contrast scene. So I took several exposures and put them together using Photoshop’s HDR merge function. That gave me something to work with at least, but it still [...]
If You Travel The Road Less Travelled, It’s Gonna Piss People Off
Sunday, July 13th, 2008That may sound like a really blunt statement to you, but I don’t care because it’s true. Sometime it’s just not worth beating around the bush.

Is Guilt Keeping You From Making Decisions That Will Better Your Life?
Thursday, July 10th, 2008I have a confession to make. I’m a people pleaser. I always try to keep everyone around me happy, and can’t stand to disappoint people. I will go to great lengths to avoid upsetting the people around me.
