Lavatory Engineering
February 20th, 2009
Last weekend while at the San Diego Wild Animal Park I had the unfortunate experience of visiting the front entrance restroom. Being near the front gates of park this particular restroom must see 10’s of thousands of visitors each year.
This was one of the most disgusting public restrooms I’ve visited in a long time, and that’s really saying something coming from me.

Oh We’re Screwed False Alarm
February 9th, 2009
I found out today that on this Friday at 3:31:30 PM pacific standard time (Friday February 13th, 2009) the unix time will be exactly 1234567890. This means that its been 1,234,567,890 seconds since the Unix Epoch which was January 1st, 1970.
Update February 16th
As far as I can tell, we’re all still here. The 1234567890 timestamp didn’t destroy the earth. Good news.
Sifl and Olly
November 14th, 2008
Anybody remember Sifl And Olly? A show about sock puppets from the mid-late nineties. It aired on MTV and in my mind it is one of the top 10 tv shows ever (yes, I know I have odd taste).

OnlineGURU Makes Inc. 5000!
August 25th, 2008
This week Inc. Magazine announced the annual Inc. 500, which lists the top Private Companies in the U.S. It’s always a good place to watch for that next “big thing”.
Along with the annual top 500, Inc. also publishes an extension called “the Inc. 5000″. I’m proud to announce that OnlineGURU made it as #932, which means, we only missed the main list by 433!
Other Cool Rankings we Made
TOP 50 Businesses in San Diego (Yes, we made #19 in San Diego)

A Few of my Favorite Sites
July 23rd, 2008
I haven’t been pushed out a blog post in a while. Getting the momentum moving after a break is always tough, so I thought I would start back up with an easy post. A list of some of my favorite websites; news, resources, and humor.
- Some Ecards - not your typical ecards. They seem to have one for every occasion. Hillarious.
- Tech Crunch - great site to keep up on the latest and greatest tech news, specifically Start Ups. This is the first site I open each day. I enjoy the un-apologetic writing style.
- Tahoe Daily Tribune - home town news is important to follow. Its just too bad that the Tahoe Daily Tribune website sucks. Their new site is hard to use. the Mountain News needs to step up and embrace the web!
- Google yep, that google. I spend so much time on this site, thought I should include it.
Everything we See Hides Another
June 15th, 2008
The painting, The Son of Man, by the french artist René Magritte, intrigues me.
The artist had this to say about the painting…
At least it hides the face partly. Well, so you have the apparent face, the apple, hiding the visible but hidden, the face of the person. It’s something that happens constantly. Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. There is an interest in that which is hidden and which the visible does not show us. This interest can take the form of a quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say, between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is present.
To me there is another layer to this painting, I think that not only does everything we see hide something else; but we also choose what we see… does that mean we choose what we hide? Not sure. But the thought is cool.
Musings of Life
June 5th, 2008
Cab drivers are always on the phone, and so are convenience store clerks… Do you think they are talking to each other? If they are, what are they talking about.
Are you happy? If not, why? If so, why? I’ve been thinking lately about what I need to be happy. I’ve gotten as far as knowing that I need fulfillment.
I saw the following list on a friends MySpace Profile, and it makes alot of sense to me, plus it kind of completes this blog post.
