Carlos

May 29, 2008

Everyone, meet Carlos, the newest member of our household. Carlos had a sketchy past as an illegal gun smuggler before he came to us. He spent several years in a prison with other revolutionaries, not unlike Soma in Prison Break. He’s reformed and now is a productive member of the household, busily blowing bubbles and […]

May 26, 2008

I’ve been watching the Twitter TOSgate episode with interest over the last few days. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the story (i.e. 99% of the world, and everyone who isn’t a massive internet geek) the summary is as follows: A Twitter user posted on their blog about an issue they were having […]

In which I talk all about me

May 7, 2008

So one day last week I went out for coffee and lost my job. There, I said it. I’ve been laid off. For whatever official reason, for someone else’s reasons, I’m gone. And I’m sad. I enjoyed my job and the people I worked with. I was doing things I loved: talking to people, writing […]
