Podcasts

Media Mondays: Q101's Phone Taps

I generally do not listen to the radio, but I really enjoy listening to Chicago’s Q101 in the mornings and afternoons just to hear the fun phone taps. What is this I speak of? Think Jerky Boys, but better. Basically- people set up their friends to get a call from a woman called Clarissa Jenkins […]

Yeah, I am on Twitter

I am on Twitter. I resisted for a long time due to not quite wanting to commit to it, the technical issues, but after using Facebook and really enjoying the status update feature the most…why not move over to using Twitter and then I would still be able to give updates but not have to […]

Music Podcasts

Glam Scum

I have recently become a fan of a DJ by the name of The Scumfrog and have really enjoyed his podcast called “Glam Scum International”. If you like electronica/club/vocal trance – give him a shot. Make sure to check out episode 8 first (my favorite so far).

Socializing on the Web

We have all seen or heard of a lot of the web’s big social web sites (Facebook, MySpace, online dating, etc) but the other day when I was in the car listening to the radio – I was a combination of disturbed, somewhat impressed (with the idea that this market was targeted not the actual […]

Crazy Signs/Places Serenity Now!

US Post Office Sign

Some things in life just make me laugh…and one of those signs are crazy signs. The other day I had to send something next day at the post office and when I pulled into the parking lot of one of the most ineffective establishments in the US (only second to the DMV) I had to […]

Neighbors

I have had some beef with my neighbors in the past. They have weird habits, refuse to shovel a foot of snow on my property, and are generally strange…but I have to say the last week has given me some hope. On Thursday we had to call 911 for Evan (cracked his head on something […]

Golf Already?

I am very excited to say that tomorrow will mark my first golf outing for 2009. It is hard to believe it is already time to get back out on the course – but I look forward to it especially after the last month or so of non-stop work.

Dealing With Tech Support is Rarely Pleasant

I should have known the second I had to spell out “help” to the tech support representative that this was going to be a rough call, but I tried to stay calm. It blows my mind that some companies put such incompetent people in a position to “help” (which they cannot even spell) people with […]

Music

Looking for Some Recommended Music?

Music is very important to me. I listen to music for at least 8-9 hours a day (all day while working, 1 hour in the car a day). It has been awhile since I posted anything on the podcasts I subscribe to via iTunes and I wanted to update the list incase you were curious. […]

A Sign Of The Times…

This morning on my way home from dropping Evan off at the babysitter’s house I decided to stop by my bank and deposit a few checks. I knew Washington Mutual got bought by Chase and I also realized my local branch was going to close – but I thought it was going to be in […]

Serenity Now!

Long Days…

Man – these past few weeks have been insane. I literally have been working non-stop and feel like I cannot quite get to a good stopping point. I will say that I have been busy with three particular projects that I was just not really excited about but after a long day and getting 2 […]
