Tomorrow, I leave for my first two-week trip to Vancouver to work for the new company.
On Monday, my new MacBook came. It’s funny - I’ve had a computer in one form or another for over the past twenty years, and this is the first Mac I’ve ever owned. Not that I’m an anti-Mac [...]

I’m not sure how I feel about this; I see Middle America being all “WTF” and clicking on the link out of curiosity, and then surprise! They just gamed the system. And people [...]


Introducing Rouxbe… now with embarassing alcohol story

Now that I’ve made the announcement that I’m leaving Yahoo!, I think it’s about time to talk about where I’ll be working, complete with embarrassing interview-related story.
I’m going to be working at a food based website named Rouxbe, pronounced “Ruby.” (Get it? Roux, like the sauce? It’s a pun. Yeah.) [...]
