The Operations director from my last company saw the company through it's sale and the founders exit and is now looking for a new gig.  He's moving back from DC to the Bay Area and is whip smart.  I've seen him: Negotiate with a landlord over subtleties of our lease, and then Work out an…

Here’s the continuation of the previous hand analysis, "How should he play his 44?" Pushing or re-raising is completely out.  With two raisers in the pot his fours are almost certainly dominated by a big pair or a slight underdog in a coin flip to unpaired overcards.  So the applicable question seems to be fold…

Ever since I moved over to the hosted version of Movable Type (called TypePad), I’ve been really happy with the service.  Today I was hunting for all the broken photo links and came across the global search and replace. I don’t suppose I got quite everything, since I’ve been writing for several years, so if…

This is my first post from my Treo, which is exciting.

Listening to: Kid Rock, the History of Rock She: California, eh? You’ll lose your soul out there, ya’ know. He: It was bound to go sometime anyway.

And the ones that did have the keyboard (like the Hitachi) weren’t…

I’m moving Sarah’s and my blogs to new servers this weekend, so lots of stuff may break. Be patient.

The latest issue of The Atlantic Monthly has a cover story on my favorite topic, piracy. Although historically piracy has been portrayed as romantic (it’s wasn’t), piracy in modern times is actually quite a bit easier to pull off, and it’s far more profitable. The techniques of modern day pirates, how and where they operate,…

Shit, I’m not reading. I’m just sitting here looking at my Hypercharger over and over again. What’s a hypercharger? Why it’s the beautiful thing in that photo. It shoves more air into the engine of my motorcycle, allowing me to get MORE POWER. Everyone who sees this asks, “Why you need to go faster?” Christ…

I’m so through with the analog world. For god’s sakes, don’t ever buy this scale. It’s pretty and all, but it was off by a few pounds, and I’ve been losing weight the past six weeks (new exercise/diet plan) and it convinced me I was lighter than I really was.
