I’m thinking about the painting the outside of my house a new color including the brick. I recently got my roof replaced and pick a somewhat neutral color for the shingles. I had to redo a lot of the trim around the house because it was either rotted out or wasn’t in good shape. I [...]
I have lived in Texas my entire life and it’s hard to believe, but I have NEVER flown on Southwest Airlines. A few friends and I are taking a trip to the Pacific Northwest this coming July. I am meeting this group of friends in California and then driving up through the Northwest and up [...]
If you have never heard of Skype, it’s time to get with the program. I feel like I have been one of the last few people to get on board with Skype. Many of my friends that live overseas have been using it for years and a lot of people have said nothing but great [...]
Am I alone in my thinking about Valentine’s day? Am I the only one that can’t stand it? And I don’t think I am bitter because I am single this year. It’s just not my favorite “holiday” or what ever it is that you want to call it. Long lines and no open reservation spots, [...]
I have finally gotten around to posting photos from the house remodel work that I have been doing. If you can’t tell, I bought a major fixer-upper. I finally broke down and paid for a subscription to flickr so that I could upload more photos and organize photosets. I have avoided it for so long [...]
It’s been a few weeks since I have had DirecTv installed here at the house, and I can’t complain. The signal has been amazing, the HD channels have been the best that I have seen and they keep adding more and more.
I love the fact that I can schedule recordings from the web and then [...]
My friend and former colleague Tim Walker recently posted an article entitled Stop! which talks about how busy we are, how much we try and do, how overwhelmed we make ourselves and the implications that come with that.
His post really got me thinking about what all I do to stay busy! What kind of things [...]
For those of you that have been following me on Twitter, I have recently been asking around about customer experiences with DirectTV. I have been unhappy for a while with Time Warner. Not only because of their horrible customer service and long wait times, but also because most of their HD channels are hit or [...]
I recently attended a Social Media Breakfast here in Austin. Tim Walker was the speaker that morning and had a lot of history and insight to share. It was great to connect with a lot of old friends and even meet some news ones.
During the Q&A with Tim, there was lady that asked a question [...]
The other night I was walking through HEB picking up a few things for dinner and I thought I heard sleigh bells. Sure enough, Christmas music was pumping through the speakers in the store. November 10th.
I think I might post something about this every year, but I feel like stores and everyone in the retail [...]
