Okay, I have to admit, I never really got into Friendster. It just wasn’t that interesting to me. The idea was almost right, but something was missing. Plus the implmementation was kind of poor. Consumating.com is actually a dating service, but damn it’s cool. Very simple. Very effective. Also developed by a fellow austininte Ben [...]
When I was home over the holidays, I managed to spend a day with the boys. I have the utmost respect for these guys. They’ve been a part of my life since the beginning. While I only get to see them once or twice a year, I always make a point when I’m home to [...]
Salling Software has created a great little utility called simply “Clicker”. It allows you to control your Mac via your Bluetooth enabled phone. Of course, you can’t do anything you want, but you can do things like control iTunes and the DVD player. You could also use it during a powerpoint presentation. It’s essentially a [...]
Alternate Titles: I have been defeated No soup for you I hate NextGenTel It seems that I won’t be getting internet access in my home. At least, not from NextGenTel… who I hate by the way. They’re now telling me that they won’t be able to install until I have a Norwegian ID number. And [...]

This again, I was pretty sure we worked this out last month when the company paid the entire first [...]
Just got a note NextGenTel. Apparently they’re waiting on my first month’s payment to turn on my internet. This payment was made last month. I’m now wondering if this means 5 more weeks of waiting. This process started over 2 months ago now. That’s right, more than 8 full weeks to get internet installed! And [...]
Here I am, back in Oslo. And after 10 days in Austin, it’s really odd being back here. Seeing everyone there was great, but hard. If you’ve never taken a vacation back into your own life, I highly recommend it. Definitely a great way to gain perspective. Actually, imagine a fire hose that shoots “life [...]
I’m in one of my favorite spots on the face of the planet. I’m lounging in the hammock that hangs in the porch at my place in Austin. The sun is shining through a thin layer of clouds. As I rock, the wind whistles lightly through the leaves of the surrounding trees. Earlier, I took [...]
Well I’m back in Austin for a bit and it’s wonderful. Good friends, tasty food, great weather. Who could ask for anything more?
I totally want one of these. link
