Year: 2019

  • 2019

    Around the end of every year I always start thinking about goals and reflecting on the past. I suppose that’s good. This essay started as a couple notes to myself but I decided publish it to share with a couple folks. To those of you who got a link to this page, it’s way better…

  • How Does a Website Know My Name?

    Well… it finally happened to me today. While reading the news this morning I noticed that the Bill.com1 IPO managed to gain 60%2. I wanted to dig a bit into their business model since I’ve been thinking about reworking the invoicing application I use.  In doing so, I headed over to Bill.com, scrolled down a…

  • Dorian

    Well… it’s about that time a year again that I’m glad I don’t live on the coast. This screenshot gave me pause, because I like how the shape of Hurricane Dorian1 perfectly curls along the beaches between Charleston and Wilmington. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Dorian

  • Joshua White

  • The Magical Number Seven

  • BioTherm Solutions

    Although I’ve mostly stopped posting technology related ramblings on this website, I have to remind myself every so often that I should be keeping up with my projects in an effort to self promote. I built a new website for BioTherm Solutions this last year and I’m going to run through the highlights. If you’d…

  • 2018 Playlists

    Every month I make a new music playlist. I usually do this while I’m avoiding work at my desk. I’ve started doing these playlists in 2013 and I just post them online for anyone interested ( here’s last year ). I like going back and listening to old playlist just like the old mixtapes I…
