So I’ve been thinking lately about openness. I am, fundamentally, an open person. As such, my decision six months ago to lock down my Twitter account was a very hard one. I reversed it today. Why? Simple: I am an open person. You ask me a question, and you’re going to get an answer. Whet...

Okay, so here’s a rant that I’ve had boil up in my head for the better part of a year or two, and finally, well, I’m here. If I made a band’s Web site, I would have, at a minimum: Lyrics to the songs. This is so unbelievably important, and it’s so unfuckinglybelieveably...

Like Alex King before me, I’ve been a happy Fastmail user for quite some time. I like it enough that I heartily recommend Fastmail for your email solution. I’ve used Fastmail since July 2006 and am unlikely to ever look back [presuming they keep their arc of quality service]. Here’...

We’ve all heard of DEFCON, right? The DEFense readiness CONdition rating system? If not, go check that link. I’ll wait. Now, DEFCON goes from 5 [copacetic] to 1 [thermonuclear war]. Sometime recently on Twitter, maybe the last few weeks, I jokingly started referring to the GEOFCON system...

Two PowerMates and a Microphone | Day #096 Originally uploaded by Geof F. Morris So I’ve had the two PowerMates for a while, and I’m now putting them to good use. I won’t let the focus of this entry be how I’m using the PMs system-wide [another day, if you're interested], but...

Tommy: “Are you a Mac guy?” Me: “Yeah, I have like five.” George: “No wonder you vote Democrat!” Me: “I own Macs, I grow a beard, I love my TiVo, and I drive a Subaru. Damn straight I voted for Obama.” Tommy: “You forgot to mention that you’...

Lots of things, really. I’m the king of unfinished projects, and Andy Osenga has nailed why: My hit: I started running to try and do a 5k last year. I actually did it and have lost weight and will lose to Jill Phillips handily in another 5k this Saturday. (3pm at the Nashville Zoo, if you want...

I’ve been thinking about this post for a bit over the last few weeks, because a lot of people—including many friends!—don’t know what it is that I do for a living. Bryan wrote yesterday about elevator pitches, and that gives me the framework for this discussion. As such: my j...
