Re-surfacing
I'm back after what is probably a two week absence.
I'm hoping at this point that my 15 minutes of fame are over.
Not that I didn't have some good offline discussions with employees from Google and Yahoo. And one person, Jason, who I no doubt bored to death through email, thought high enough of my article to discuss career advice with me.
Anyway, some time during this month I turned the big ole 24. It would be a lackluster event except for my famous sexy parties. As always, free booze usually motivates people to show up to your social invitations. Unlike always, this year I wasn't in the mood to put up with much, so most fair weather friends didn't get an invite.
As a gift, I received the "I only support gay marriage if both chicks are hot" t-shirt.
So besides skipping my daily work out at the gym most of last week, and giving myself a hangover the past two weekends, its mostly been flying below the radar. And indulging in an ebay addiciton. If you look in the right places on ebay, you can find things you want for half the price of retail. For example, Dave Thomas' "The Pragmatic Programmer." Or, a 21 inch hand detailed chrome hookha from imported from egypt. Or a K&N Air Filter to last for the life of your car.
Things I haven't been doing:
Paying attention to the news.
Working on side projects.
Looking for new Music.
Blogging.
Writing Articles for "Soapbox".
