Writer, of sorts.

I Am A Writer | YouAreAWriter.com | By Jeff Goins

May 19, 2012

Motivational books have always seemed wasteful to me. As are most declarations, protests that don’t involve at least the threat of violence and the idea saying something out loud is somehow more meaningful than thinking or typing it. I’ve always associated these sort of practices as faith-based, religion-heavy figments of other people’s imaginations that they [...]

My Own Little Corner Of The Internet

May 3, 2012

Hugh MacLeod of Gaping Void released a book last week. Freedom Is Blogging in Your Underwear is part manifesto, part love letter and part, well, I haven’t figured that out yet. In my own little corner of the internet, I’m king and servant; royalty and commoner. The first read disappointed me. While Hugh’s first two [...]

Give a ball, get an AZ Diamondbacks experience

April 28, 2012

I’ve been a baseball fan all my life. I’ve attended countless Mariners games at the Kingdome, too few at Safeco, five-ish Spring Training games a year for nine years, and 30 or so Diamondbacks games. I’ve sat in the nosebleed seats, on the outfield seating grass, behind home plate and feet from the dugout. I’ve [...]

You Are A Writer | Jeff Goins | Book Review

April 26, 2012

People like Jeff Goins piss me off. They say things* like: Choose yourself I started over and it was worth it! It takes more than talent, it takes hard work! I am fabulous and obviously better than you because I did this thing! Being helpful is more important than being clever. It’s enough to make [...]

Wordcamp Phoenix 2012

April 16, 2012

After attending Wordcamp Phoenix 2011, and hearing from multiple sources it was not only the best WordPress conference but best Phoenix-area conference they’d ever attended, I felt bad. Not bad in that I didn’t have a good time, because it was great. I gave a short presentation, attended a bunch of sessions, met some cool [...]

Why I’m a Lemonade Detroit Supporter

February 29, 2012

Volunteering for worthy causes is fantastic. It’s honest work, it usually involves some sort of physical labor (yay exercise), and it gives both the volunteer and those they’ve helped a good feeling. But sometimes volunteering isn’t enough. Sometimes people need food or shelter, money or jobs. Sometimes we have to open our wallets a little [...]

People V. the State Of Illusion Opening (almost) Nationwide!

February 26, 2012

Now that Austin Vickers’s debut film will open nationwide in select cities (beginning March 2012), it’s time to share more about the profound impact this movie had on me. In my original review, I talked about the realizations I’ve made about life and how I planned to fix them. As part of this process, I [...]

Skora Running Shoes First Review

February 24, 2012

In my ongoing quest to find the perfect pair of running shoes, I was fortunate to visit the Skora Running offices in Portland, OR. I had a chance to talk with Mike about why the Skoras were made, what they hope to accomplish, and why Skora Running shoes are awesome. They offered me a pair [...]

Ingrown Toenail Surgery & Post-Op Care

February 14, 2012

(The images shown here may be graphic to some or my hairy, bloody toes may offend you. If you’re worried, stop reading right now.) My name is Tyler and I’ve been in an abusive relationship with my nails for as long as I can remember. For all my childhood and the first decade of adulthood, [...]

Tweet 100,000

January 20, 2012

I grew up wanting to be a writer, but it seems I’m more suited to be a tweeter. Never did I think I’d care much about past tweets, but now I’m very curious to read what is my online diary for the past four-ish years. Bet you’ll see a lot of funny, a lot of [...]
