On my way to Rome for the weekend to visit a friend/mentor who is passing through. Just tapping this out on my iPod Touch using the WordPress app and connected to the free airport wifi. Figure that this is a good opportunity for a shakedown of some new gear and travel style. I’ve grown rather [...]

WTF
Posted in meditations on 30-April-2009 | Leave a Comment »
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and I think to myself, “what the f**k am I doing!?” I lie a few moments with the sense of dread and panic pressing down on me and then I swallow it, get myself up and start to go about my day. Invariably the stress makes a reappearance [...]

I have been remiss in my blog posting. Ever since quitting my job, life has seemed to become more complex and I find time is constantly at a premium.

The level of dissatisfaction with the PM and [...]
