One of my fraternity brothers from UT Martin was featured on NBC Nightly News last night. This gives a rare glimpse into some of the struggles faced by job seekers, and how national policies put in place by the next president will have a direct effect on job creation.
As you watch the video, remember that [...]

Today I stood in line at a local McDonald’s, waiting on my turn to order. I always lose a bit of faith in humanity when in these situations because they inevitably turn sour. A few months ago, I waited behind a woman who was verbally abusive to the cashier over how many Chicken McNuggets she [...]

If you’ve been following me for a while, you might have noticed that I have posted a lot more lately. I am trying to find something worthwhile to write about each day. It has been a great exercise in keeping perspective and I plan to continue to do so as long as possible.
Last night, I [...]

I am starting to realize that jQuery and ThickBox are making me look like a lot better of a Web developer at work than I really am. Then again, who says you have to write every last line of code in order to get the job done?

The fourth and final installment of Fridays Off took place at the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. As I went to Centennial Park last Friday, I figured this was the next logical step in the progression. These mini-vacations have been suprisingly fulfilling because it gives me the chance to take a couple of pictures and [...]

Dear UTM Communications alumni,
I would like to invite you [...]

As I came about a little under ten years after the 1973 oil crisis, this week has been a rare glimpse into what it must have been like to watch lines que at gas stations, with many simply shutting off their pumps. The Nashville Gas Crisis of 2008 is largely a logistical bottleneck, but it [...]

We are going to BarCamp Nashville 2008 October 18 at the Sommet Center in downtown Nashville.
BarCamp Nashville is an open-source gathering of technology enthusiasts who come together for one weekend to share what they know and learn what they don’t. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees.
Anyone with something to [...]

 
Tonight my wife and I went to the Nashville Area Blogger Meet-up at The Flying Saucer in downtown Nashville. The gathering is one of those “Hey, I know you online but we’ve never met in person” kind of events, so there is always those awkward moments when one must let the senses catch-up to the [...]
