In case you didn’t hear: I got a job with Six Apart. Makers of TypePad, Vox and Movable Type. Post comments/congrats and San Francisco lunch invites here.

I had a real shit-hole week 2 weeks ago. Mom and dad sent me sympathy toffee. And turtle brownies. Rock out.

I feel awful. A guy at the gym asked me to spot him on a bench press – he was bench pressing about 200 pounds. I stood over him. The first 2 reps were fine. The 3rd he managed to get through and then something snapped and the bar fell on him. I didn’t move […]

Praise the Gods of DHL for delivering my repaired Sony Vaio PCG-SRX87 back safely from the Pacific Northwern laptop repair center of LaptopService.com.
