I am a web developer working at GetGlue.
I enjoy tweeting, taking pictures, and making movies.
This is where I write.
There’s gotta be something to write about.
I have some downtime, so I have time to relax and just write about what comes to my mind.
I find that’s what’s easiest. When I have nothing else to do but write. That’s when I get the most writing done and the best writing done.
Sadly that doesn’t happen as much as I’d like. Most of the time I’m busy. Busy at work, busy at home, busy with myself. Life can really ramp up unlike its ever done before.

In the land of Harry things have been mighty busy. He has been away from his lovely blog, out marauding for new land and fresh fruit. He has been searching high above the coastline, cupping his hand above his eyes to shield himself from the sun’s mighty gaze. He stood there atop the cliff, gazing out past everything that he has since come to call familiar. He stood and gazed west, straining his eyes from their sockets, hoping to perceive success just before it broached the horizon.
And how did the sun beat upon his brow! Each un-tamed beam piercing his skin to draw sweat from its pore, their outward push beginning along his perspiring brow. The sun beat – the sweat swam! No relent until dawn when the winds from the south picked up their weight and began their singing song.
Yet it wasn’t long into the month when Success – in all her wonderful fashion – made her triumphant appearance over the divide. She stepped into sight as daylight touched the earth, smiling into the future as sun-rays cascaded around. The last winds of the night picked themselves up and threw themselves into her hair, casting all follicles asunder. And as she looked down from her perception above her eyes locked with Harry’s and time stood still. Magical white nothingness crashed into existence, erasing Harry and Success, leaving behind nothing but a clean whiteness that bleach couldn’t hope to come close.

It is with great joy that I can announce I have accepted a new job. Starting May 9th of this year I will begin work as Web Developer at GetGlue.com. The past seven months at dLife.com have proven tremendously rewarding however the lull of the future has proven too great to ignore. This next month will prove tremendously tumultuous due to all the changes occurring but please bear with me as I venture forward. Thank you – and thank you – for all of your support over the past couple of months. It would not have been the same without you.
For a little while I’ve been curating and saving a list of thoughts and ideas that I felt were important enough to remember. This list most definitely has pieces of information that you already know, however I felt it was important to have them set down and saved.
I actually mediated on what to name this list for a good two weeks: while driving around I would think on what would make for a good title. I went through many variations and revisions until finally settling on one name, ultimately deciding to call this list Vital Information for Western Civilization.
I hope to update this list and improve upon this first draft. If you have any comments or additions you think should be added please let me know. Until then, enjoy reading:
Life is all sorts of slow right now. Ever since I finished my college degree I’ve been reveling in the glow of unemployment and pet-projects. It’s a glow that doesn’t waver, however it was never all too bright to begin with.
Just a week after I clocked my final hour of undergraduate learning I took a vacation up to Boston to visit my brother and friends. It was a great trip, one that I remember more fondly as time passes. The most memorable event of the three nights I spent there was undoubtedly the unbearable heat. Every night there I would wake up at least once in a full-bodied sweat. Upon reflection it was one of the most cost-efficient saunas I have ever purchased. Save on air conditioning, embrace the heat, clear your pores.
Coming back from Boston I hit a bit of culture-shock. I didn’t realize how fully I had re-embraced Boston life. It easily took me a full day to readjust to the dull-hum of suburban life. It’s horribly dull, this suburban life.
Yet it was short lived for three short days later I was traveling again, this time to Toronto. This was my first time in Toronto, and my second in Canada. The experience driving up was tame fun, punctuated by a ten-minute period of torrential rains. Aside from those moments of acute terror nothing horribly eventful occurred.
