I’m sure you’ve heard of it already. If not, a bunch of people have vowed to give up everything in their life except for 100 “things” (loosely defined). This isn’t a new idea, Leo from Zen Habits talked about it almost a year ago and it’s been circulating around the web in blogs and [...]

Wow. I’ve seen Colombia and for the most part I’m pretty pleased with how things went. A friend from high school (and we lived together for a year in college) has been volunteering down there for a few months now. Naturally, another friend and I decided to go visit him.

I’ve traveled quite a bit lately and have been working on being able to entertainingly come up with some common passenger profiles. Here are a few more of my findings:

The laptop wielding road warrior: Two trips in a row have I sat next to a woman who insists on working on a spreadsheet or e-mail [...]

I’ve done a bunch of flying in the last few months (for work and training). I still get a little excited every time I fly. Airports have so many people and airplanes have so many people in a small spot. This means excellent people watching. I’ve come up with some of my favorite passenger profiles:

Can’t [...]

I’m in a good mood and my brilliant mentor, noah, suggested I create a caption contest for the following picture:

Winner receives a $10 Amazon.com gift certificate. Leave your caption in the comments.
Winner: With my invisible knife, I stab at thee, foul editor.
PS: Photo taken with my new iPhone (on T-Mobile, ask me how!).

I’m excited for this next election. Definitely more than last time where I said ‘voting sucks‘.
But, I still want to throw out a few quotes:
“Teens are extremely socially aware, but favour participation through their consumption choices, because they believe corporations are more effective agents of change than governments.” Source
“The Zen master would say if you [...]

Tis the season where family and friends start asking the dreaded: what do you want for Christmas? My parents finally dropped it on me. I was actually talking to Rachel about this and she made a very excellent point:
At this stage in my life I don’t need more “things.” I’m at [...]

As I sit here and write this I’m also listening to music and following along with it. I’m sure we all do it, this is no amazing feat. To some people the additional input forces you to focus. For others, it’s distracting. For me, I feel like I can pay attention to what I’m doing [...]

Facebook Postulate: If it’s not in your Mini-Feed it never happened. Seriously, it’s like a tree falling in a forest. Your new friends and group membership don’t make a sound!

Everything is relative. I’ve been conducting an informal survey for a little while now: when I ask for ‘lots and lots of ketchup’ at the Chik-Fil-A drive-through I will receive either a) lots and lots of ketchup or b) three or four packets. The determining factor: how busy the Chik-Fil-A is. Something tells me if [...]

Do you feel like you deserve a little better? Are you not being challenged enough? Well, then perhaps it’s time to move on. Maybe a new boss, different company, perhaps even a new career. Whatever it may be, you know you should change jobs when…
