Craigslistings to cheer me up

Date September 20, 2006

If you haven’t found Craigslist, it’s free classified ads 24/7. Easy, useful, valuable. It’s also a lot of laughs too. I loved some of the entries I recently read. I figured I could share them without much trouble.
The barter section was interesting tonight. Here are a few:
“Have a vacation…Give me your used […]

Celebrating 9/11 anniversary by getting the hell out

Date September 12, 2006

I read the other day a story over the wire about how different kinds of patriotic American’s are spending the 9/11 anniversary. Being a loyal citizen, on 9/11 I decided to go to Canada. Toronto is a pretty nice place. Of course, being on a business trip, I’m locked into the work […]

How to pitch your design work like a mattress salesman

Date July 20, 2006

I had a meeting the other day about making a website for a potential client. This was an associate of a friend of mine that is starting up an HR business. Sometimes when I want to get a freelance job, I will mock something up without being asked. This was easy for this client, […]

old school flatland bmx bandit

Date June 7, 2006

I’ve been pretty stoked lately on riding again. My friend at work Birk took some shots on top of my office building’s parking garage.  They turned out great. Take a look at the flatland freestyle slideshow.

A riddle for you

Date April 22, 2006

Pictured below are two stacks of books. All of these books were checked out by me recently from the library. Today is the day I have to take all of these back to the library. One stack I actually read, the other I did not. Guess which is which?

Update
Wierd!  I posted this, and […]

Checking out the City Market

Date April 22, 2006

One thing I really like about Kansas City is the City Market. Here you can buy your weight in fresh vegetables from various local farmers and private growers. It has always been a good time walking around the market square and browse what everyone is selling. No doubt there will be street performers around […]

Cat Illustration

Date March 30, 2006

March almost over and I haven’t even accomplished half the stuff I wanted to this month. Arrgh. Police school has been great. I’m also very excited about next week. We’ll be at the helicopter pad.
Juri is always making funny drawings. I absolutely had to do a vector drawing of our cat she drew on our […]

Write my memoirs?

Date March 27, 2006

Last night, I had all these memories of when I was little, all the silly things kids go through, the friendship dramas that always seem so big when you are in the exchange, but looking back are just amusing or stupid. Anyway, I started thinking that I could write a book about me. Not that […]

Back from Hawaii

Date February 26, 2006

Back from Hawaii, from a very memorable vacation. I feel so relaxed. Despite all the travel concerns, the timing of flights and train rides things have been pretty smooth. Check out the pics.
Oahu wasn’t the pristine place I originally thought, but there was plenty to do and see. We spent one day inside, and that […]

We got a flipping sex panther

Date February 12, 2006

I did a couple things this weekend that I’ve never done before. It’s nice to stretch yourself once in a while. First, I cooked steaks in the oven tonight. Never did that. Stirfry was always my game. The top sirloins turned out good. I bought some A-1 for the occasion and dinner was just like […]
