I don’t have a single upbeat emotion to draw from at the moment. I’m battling a sadness like I’ve never felt before. The pain of watching my Dad transform from a positive, happy, charismatic guy to someone who is confused, in pain, defeated, and far beyond enjoying life is probably the worst pain I’ve ever [...]

I thought I’d do a list of everything I like about being single, because sometimes I need the reminder 1. Being free to go out with friends on a moments notice without having to arrange it with someone else. 2. (When not living with a roommate) Coming home to the house exactly the way I [...]

It’s a very cool event (err, should I say, “unconference”?) that provides the social media and online technology communities to come together and informally learn in a social setting.
