is it bad that i think a total of four posts in the last two weeks is a “flurry” of activity on the blog? yes, yes it is very bad. downright depressing even. so to help put myself at ease, i need to post again. because five posts is way better than four. and because i […]

the regular four year reports  that the business world suffered a drastic decrease in productivity due to the world cup are starting to spill out, and those monitoring the economy are probably breathing a sigh of relief now that the tournament is over. fret not though my dear readers, as i’m still finding plenty of […]

i’ve been slammed lately, and i’m sorry about my lack of posting. there’s so much going on my head is spinning: i start a new real world job next week, i’ve been doing some wedding planning to earn brownie points with my future wife, and i’ve finally replaced my non-functioning old phone with a new […]

damn these winter olympics. they’re so freaking distracting. despite the fact that there are more games in going on within a week either direction of today than in recent memory (premier league games were midweek last week, FA cup games and la liga games this weekend, champions league coming up this week), the festivities in […]
