Back to the plan… which doesn’t include MS

July 29, 2007

I’m making the decision now before thinking about it wastes any more of my time. Indecision and anxiety takes a huge mental toll on me — it always has. I prefer to be sure about the future and have as little on my mind as possible. That drives many of the decisions I make, [...]

The future of Google

July 4, 2007

I spend more time writing on forums than on this blog, so I’m going to start sharing the more interesting threads I participate in here as well.
WebDesignofMaine: Google is number 1. I think Google is going to take over the world. Think about where we are as a civilization, the information age, and who [...]
