What the heck is a “Gowalla”??

Gowalla is an iPhone app that is completely addicting. It’s basically a virtual geocaching treasure hunt sort of game that you use to check-in at locations and potentially pick up cool virtual-items.

On The Road Again

Today I leave for home. At last. I can’t wait to sleep in my own bed and cuddle my cat (if she’ll have me). I can’t wait to sigh with frustration as I look around my cluttered apartment. I can’t wait to just ‘be’. I can’t wait to sleep the deep sleep of comfort and [...]

I Am Not Impressed

I realize that some might fall for the “I’m working so hard I send emails after the end of the workday”, but let’s face it – If you get to work at 9:00am and screw off all day long, then sending emails late in the day means nothing. Try actually working during the day. Failing [...]
