Year In Review – I Think I Grew Up

December 29, 2011

(As opposed to most of the content on this site, today’s post is going to be completely about me. No refunds after this point. If you’d prefer, here’s a random post.) Got engaged this year. You’d think that would be life changing. Not life changing in that my actual life would be different, but life [...]

Thanks To Be Given

November 24, 2011

There are few things more important to healthy relationships than the ability to encourage others to feel how much they are appreciated. Fresh off running my first and last PodcampAZ, getting engaged for the first and last time and being a part of a group of storytellers that has made both my struggles and successes [...]

Momentumer Than Elizabeth Newlin

November 17, 2011

Loved Elizabeth Newlin’s breakdown of her run so much I wrote my own. As part of my training for Tough Mudder, I run four miles 2-3 times a week (increase .5 to 1 mile each week) and run 1.3 miles barefoot and do the Tough Mudder workout twice a week. I’ve gained a bit of [...]

PodcampAZ 2011 with Krys VanSlyke and VoiceMuze

November 16, 2011

Easily my favorite part of PodcampAZ 2011. I’ve long been envious of anyone who can create from almost nothing. Ever since Kyle Townsend sat down on our family piano and played radio songs by ear have I longed to possess the talent to do such. And here we have Krys VanSlyke with the weirdest uses [...]

Triumphant Return To SMCPhx

November 7, 2011

I’ve had my differences with Jeff Moriarty and company. From Ignite to SMCPhx to ImprovAZ, there’s no doubt most of my world knows my…disagreements as to how the group running these events sometimes operate. But that doesn’t mean these events aren’t useful, don’t have real value and aren’t worth attending. So when Kathy Jacobs asked [...]

The Rapist Was Me?

November 2, 2011

Read the first part of this story, Believing Isn’t Enough, before starting the text below. I can’t guarantee everything in the story is absolutely correct, but this is my best recollection. I am almost always in control. Not of the situation or of other people, but in control of how I react, what I do [...]

Believing Isn’t Enough

November 1, 2011

I believe in many things. I believe that things will eventually be okay. I believe in true love. I believe in the power of a determined group of people. I believe in my ability to solve most of my, or anyone who asks, problems. I’m not a psychiatrist or magician or anything special, I just [...]

First Day Of School at Highline Community College

October 26, 2011

My parents took video of nearly every first day of school. This is the last video I ever shot. Four classes, two of which were gym? My life rocked.

What Happened To CenPhoCamp?

October 17, 2011

I’m seldom completely satisfied with the work I do and what I ship. There’s always something that could have been done better, could have been started earlier and could have been promoted more. My life has been filled with rough drafts turned in as final copies, last-minute scrambling being good enough and a general sense [...]

Steve Jobs, Imaginator

October 5, 2011

Whether you liked him or not, let him or not, Steve Jobs changed the lives of everyone who bought Apple products, and even those who bought competing ones. My love for Apple products has changed my life; whether it was igniting my interest in tinkering with computers at my dad’s print shop in 1986, making [...]
