Oooh! Clicky clacky IBM keyboard on my friend’s computer. Forgot how good these things feel to type on.

“We’re planning on releasing in China as our first market.” I too like to live dangerously. And I said “dangerously” not “stupidly.”

And… Gradle in Android Studio blew up again. Gradle is a tool used in Android Studio for assembling all of your code and assets into a data file that can be loaded on to an Android device. Unfortunately, it can be somewhat obtuse at times. Which means hours of lost productivity figuring out what has…

Working from home = working without pants. You want me in pants, that costs extra.

New network cables from Fry’s. Oooh! Sexy little retaining clips on the ends. Also, my wife thinks I am weird.

Now I want a cowboy hat. Do not ask why.

The key to failure is not actually trying. The key to success is to keep trying.

Argh! Out of Groundworks coffee! I have to debase myself and drink this Trader Joe’s stuff.

I have two guarantees I offer: The guarantee of how to be successful and the guarantee that you won’t do anything with it.

Taking the afternoon off because I damn well can. There are few careers in this life that give you opportunity to work on what you want, when you want, and if you don’t feel like working on it right there and then, you don’t have to. I am fortunate enough to have one of those…

Too many damn receipts to sort through. There’s gotta be an app for this…

There are far too many cats and far too few chairs in this office.

I get to define when I am successful, not you and your standards.

Some days I hate my job. Especially when I get a call at 5:30AM to fix a broken Drupal website that I didn’t build.

Hey! We didn’t hire you to build our website, we went with lowest bidder, but they wandered off. We were wondering, could you fix it? For free?

iOS and Android apps sent off to client. Happy client. I’m off to get a coffee.

We can all agree that “good enough” is never satisfactory for remarkable products. But how do we know when “good enough” is actually harming us more than just merely making something not worth talking about? When you apply “good enough” to a child’s education, we don’t end up with “good enough” adults. “Good enough” in…
