Opposing Obama: Winter Whining

So I decided that my blog needs another series of entries. This one has to do with opposing our newly elected leader, Barack Obama. No, I’m not a republican, but I don’t have to agree with the guy just because I like him. In fact, I’ll criticize him and ridicule him on […]

I know you’re scared. You have to be. In addition to hurricanes, earthquakes, global warming, gas prices, the prospect of Palin becoming president, now the Dow has lost 17,000 points in the past 2 days. Yeah you’re scared alright, but you’ve come to the right place. This blog was put here […]

Funksysteme Archives: Smartifying your Speech

From time to time, I’ll be re-posting things that I wrote a few years ago on the now-defunct funksysteme.org. This will be the first of some. Then there will be more.

Alanis Gonna Start Some Drama

Still good, despite the lack of coco puffs.

Adventures in Consulting, Just Getting Started

Time to start another thread on this blog, Adventures in Consulting.  I’ll be writing about my new career as a consultant and the events involved.
Just to preface this entire thing, you need to know a little bit about me.  I’m more or less a 14 year old kid that is just falling into grown up situations.  All of […]

Austin, Texas

My consulting career started this Monday in Austin, Texas.  Frankly, I expected more cowboy boots and rodeos.  Not many people down here have that cartoony Texas accent.  But there are some differences of note, here is a rundown.

I’ve been a bit spoiled driving around in suburban Bucks County for the past few years.  I’ve become […]
