My Real Life Social Network
Facebook isn't useful to me, and I don't think it's just a generational thing. I want to connect to my friends and colleagues, I'm interested in what they're doing. I think I can share things that they'd be interested in, too. But Facebook's limited methods for organizing relationships don't give me any useful granularity, so [...]
Why I Drive a Porsche
This is me on Christmas when I was 3 1/2 with my first car - a rear engine topless sporty model. I have vague memories of this fantastic vehicle, but I am sure that the early impressions from this experience branded me for life. Years later, as an adult, I pined for a Porsche 911 [...]

Crossword Puzzle Solving

Droid Review
I’ve been living with my Droid for about a month now. Friends have been asking for a review, so here it is. Note, I haven’t used an iPhone so I can’t do a comparison between them. […]
