Alright, here's the scoop. Time just doesn't allow for an audio podcast at the moment. I'm home with the kids all weekend and having two is so much more time consuming than 1. I've now come to terms with it, hopefully you'll all understand. But...this doesn't mean that there aren't still weird and funny things going on...things that I like to share. This being said, I vow to do a bit more blogging. Hopefully those of you who were/are/were/whatever listeners of the Twisted Pickle Show can still… Continue

I've been thinking a lot lately about making the switch to a Mac. If you haven't seen my valiant effort to beg the universe for money yet, check out http://www.helpmeswitch.com.

I take my tiny baby girl #2 out to the living room and flip on the tube. Sure enoug… Continue

I have created a group called "twistedpickle" (no spaces). If you play level Medium, as I do, you can submit your score under your name and get it listed in the "twistedpickle" group. Come join me, come kick my scoreboard butt, and we'll see who's the best of the best at wasting tim… Continue

Hi everyone. Sorry it's been so long since we spoke...been busy being a daddy and a cubical worker bee. Home with the kids today, one's asleep the other's into a Sponge Bob episode so I actually have a few minutes to say hi....HI! OK, here's how things have been shaking out lately. I'm continuing to write code for my Twitter -ish but different .com. Development is coming along great. I'm just working out a few of the final bugs, which always seem to take the most time. I'm hoping in the next mo… Continue
