Beth’s HTC Incredible has been on the fritz for a while and it finally crapped out while we were conferencing-it-up in sunny Orlando. Tired of talk of phantom viruses and restrictive application download and install diets (I understand but despise CSRs habits of just making stuff up to send you on your merry way), we [...]
In between the pursuit of lost and yet-to-be realized dreams I’m often paralyzed by the myriad decisions that have to be made. Some are inherent in the pursuit, others are created by my maniacal over-analyzation of any and every situation. Ultimately, my indecision begets a lack of focus, stifling progress along the way. One lasting [...]
It is our human nature, many of us, to revel in the anticipation of what is to come – if only tomorrow were today, today would be so much better. I am this way, even though I am blessed with such an amazing today. I think this is why I’m gaining such a deep appreciation [...]
It was just a little over seven years ago that I acquired my first Apple product. And it was hard for me to swallow. So hard, in fact that it was an HP-branded iPod that I got by pimping out five of my friends and family to one of those free-something-dot-com email/internet marketing schemes. But [...]
I have this weird disdain for music artists that build cult-like followings. I have no idea why, and it’s strange how this manifests itself in other areas of my life since I tend to be extremely brand-, friend-, etc. loyal.

Sooner or later it was going to happen. The huddle breaks. The line sets. The ball snaps and passes from center to someone other than Russell. It’s a reality that came sooner rather than later. And for State fans like me the feeling is bittersweet. But it had to happen and there’s no looking back. [...]
I’ve always felt like I was a pretty good multi-tasker, but as I get older I’m starting to wonder more and more if I’ve just been fooling myself all these years. I am getting older, so it could be that my mind is just becoming less capable of juggling lots of stuff and keeping up [...]
I love Groupon. No wait, scratch that. I’m addicted to Groupon. And the biggest enabler of my Groupon habit is my stupid iPhone – it should be illegal to make it so easy to throw one’s money at something. Swipe, swipe, touch – see – touch touch. Bam. $10 gone. Oh wait, they’ll let me [...]
Back when Beth was living in the ‘burbs of D.C. one of the couples we used to hang with took us into Potbelly Sandwich Works for a quick lunch on the way to the Spy Museum. Although overwhelmed by the barrage of questions and the expediency at which the sandwich builders expected proper responses, I [...]
