White Collar Jobs No Comments

It’s amazing how organizations treat their life blood like a commodity. Are we truly in the age where intelligent people are treated like cattle? Are we blind to this? It seems that in this day and age, there’s a disconnect to ‘ambitious’ people who want to do things like travel and see the world, but [...]

A Portfolio Pregnant with Gains, He’s Been up All Night Moving the Goalposts March 27, 2007 No Comments

I’m not suffering from a lack of content in my head, just a way to organize it all. I thought about it for a moment and was like, this blog is loosing momentum, perhaps it is, in this context.

Highs and the lows, wrapped up into one posting. It’s the music festival that comes to Austin every year, and touts free BBQ and Miller Light to fans, ‘industry professionals’, bands, and lots of free tshirts and other goodies.

Willy Mason at South by Southwest (SXSW) 2007 No Comments

Neil, absent friends, here’s to you my man, everytime I pop Willy Mason in the deck I think of the great times. Especially interesting was the fact Willy played in a church downtown, with amazing acoustics. The video is dark, but the experience was surreal, in a packed dark church, music sounds amazing, and people [...]
