Running Man
Phew, It’s been a while. Went on a solid one-miler this afternoon. It’s time to get back in the habit, cause I’m beat…

A little spike action
So in my free time over the past few days I’ve been trying my hand at a little Javascript. It’s not too complex most of the time, but still, you gotta start somewhere. Check out my calculator: calculator.html

TerraPass
I was milling about today on my employer’s internal discussion board and stumbled upon this fun little link. TerraPass sells credits to help negate the CO2 released by one’s car, home, and air flights. I’ve been looking for a way to help heal the world for my car and plane usage…what a cool idea.

You know what I don’t like about it? It is horrifically UGLY. You’re not allowed to disagree with me. You just aren’t. Now…

You know what’s weird about ThoughtWorks?
(Or at least ThoughtWorks India) Rarely does one ever hear the sound of phones ringing in the office. I didn’t realize this until this afternoon when an office phone rang…a sound that was oddly unfamiliar to me. My hypothesis is that all the interaction is either happening in-person or over instant messenger, rendering the telephone…
