My Office
You know what they say: cheap tables and expensive chairs. I took that to heart with my cheap plastic fold-out banquet table and Herman Miller chair. I exclusively use one MacBook Pro, so my exact design and development environment comes with me wherever I go. At home at this desk, I have my…

Today is my last day at Wufoo / SurveyMonkey. I spent about one year at Wufoo after moving to Tampa, Florida, then we were acquired and moved to Palo Alto, California Then I spent about another year at SurveyMonkey, bouncing between the two products.
I’d say they were the best…

My sister is getting married this summer and I did the invitations for her.
We live in different states so talking about them largely happened over the phone and Facebook chatting screenshots of the designs. The structure of invite was just complicated enough that communicating exactly what part of them we…
Sun, 06 May 2012 21:53:58 GMT | Tagged: UncategorizedPretty good
99% of the food I eat I’d classify as somewhere between “fine” and “pretty good.”
It’s extremely rare for me to eat a meal that is truly extraordinary wherein during and after eating it I am amazed at the deliciousness. It’s also extremely rare that I eat anything that I considered/consider disgusting. …

“The fact is, almost anyone would rather, at any given moment, float about the Caribbean, or have sex, or eat some delicious food, than work on hard problems. The rule about doing what you love assumes a certain length of time. It doesn’t mean, do what will make you happiest this second, but what

I think this was a nice email to send after a first-time order:
It’s obviously automated, but it’s from the owner of the company and lists his personal email address.
His first concern was our buying experience.
He assures us our email is safe.
He doesn’t opt us in to…

Questions are a lot easier to answer when you start them with the facts, rather than asking about details about your own proposed solution.
Thu, 01 Mar 2012 15:55:43 GMT | Tagged: UncategorizedHey Sprint,
It’s my new life goal to cost your company $350. I’ll do it however I can. I figure if I can get a few people to ditch your service with me as their reason, that should do it.
Gosh that isn’t very nice of me is it? Well neither was the customer support staff…

It’s going to take me a while to figure out exactly why I love Downton Abbey so much. It seems to defy reason. If I figure it out I’ll let you know.

I recently bought a bottle of Crystal Head Vodka, purely because I used to be rather obsessed with Arthur C. Clarke’s Mysterious World. I had 20 or so VHS tapes my Grandfather gave me as a kid (now lost). The intro of every show featured a crystal skull. They do a…

For maybe 6-8 months when I lived in Portland I lived on 15th and Killingsworth (literally a lyric in the song).
I’m very familiar with every location from the whole movie. I’m sure there is some gang stuff and whatever, but it’s not like a dangerous neighborhood or ghetto or whatever (and…

Months later… Crap didn’t I order one of those? Oh dang, it got shipped to an old address.

There’s two angels sitting on my shoulders,
all they ever do is disagree.
One sits on the side of rhyme and reason,
the other on the reckless side of me.

When I got my first job at age 13 (turned out that wasn’t exactly legal) I need a bank account to put the money in. Well, probably I wanted a place where I could go easily cash my checks, but whatever. The closest bank to my house in Verona, Wisconsin was Heartland Credit…

Apologies to the Blue Plate Diner in Madison, Wisconsin. I love your meatloaf. I bought your cookbook to learn how to make it. I have done so many times. It is amazing. Now between my dog and the cookbook getting wet, the book is pretty trashed. I am going to blog this recipe to…

You know, this is all obtrusive and looks like crap, but Hot Pockets is a friggin perfect sponsor for a website where you watch nerds battle other nerds in computer games.

That’s how many hours PER FRICKING DAY an average American watches TV. Holy crap.
There are lots of reasons some people are more productive in life than others, but that’s a big factor right there.
I get asked pretty frequently “how do you have time to do all that stuff you do?”…

When I get new furniture I like to get some scratches and rips and stains on it right away.
When I get a new book I get some food stains on the cover the first time I open it. I also dog-ear the pages to mark my progress and bend the crap out of…

There’s lots of political things that I know I should care about, but it’s nearly impossible to force yourself to care about something. I thought I’d do an honest review of my opinions and catalog the few issues that I really do feel something for.
