Yesterday morning, as I do a few mornings a week, I walked up to the stop sign at the top of my street and waited for the 9:32am bus to downtown. It never came. Hmm.. So I walked further down the route and waited again. No bus. Strange. So I walked to work. • I did some research and discovered …
Ten Years of Making the Web
Posted by on Wednesday, April 25, 2007 in - 1 comment
I’m off by a few months but I thought it was worth noting. Spring 2007 marks a decade of being a website creating entrepreneur. Ten years ago, in my senior year of high school, I started metamedia (an embarrassing name) with Steve. It is hard to believe what has happened to the Internet and our …

Since our car was stolen we’ve officially gone without a car. Sure, we’ve borrowed one here and there and for the past three months have enjoyed using Becky’s parent’s car while they traveled, but none-the-less I can actually say that I don’t own a car. Well that looks like it might have to change …

We decided to host another rousing rendition of "LFTFTH" last week. I was a little slow off the mark to announce it but here it is none the less. Peter has the audio file and some great show notes. On behalf of myself and those in the show I'd like to appologize for the first 20 minutes. We were …

Today a number of people warned me that gas prices were going to sky rocket tonight. From our current 1.13/L to over 2.00/L. As my tank was almost empty I decided to fill up. The gas stations had lines of cars waiting to get into them. I waited for over 30 minutes to fill up. Cars were literally …
