Need A Virtual Assistant? Get The Advantage!
I have read Tim Ferris’ “The 4-hour Work Week” and picked up some useful information from it. Part of what he preaches is outsourcing personal work to a Virtual Assistant to help get things done. Recently I’ve contacted an awesome Virtual Assistant here in Omaha and it’s been fantastic. The knowledge of my VA has [...]

Stop Drinking Soda
I’ve decided, once again, to cut soda out of my life. Some people have nicotine as a vice, I happen to have a love hate relationship with our friend, the caffeinated beverage. This is probably the third time I’ve attempted to intake less ascorbic acid and fructose corn syrup. I quit at [...]
Let’s Talk About The Weather
We all know that Omaha is north, but not quite the Great White North. Of all of my siblings I live the furthest north, barring my sister who lives in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. A location, in my opinion, not really fit for humans to inhabit. Way too close to Canada.
Anyways, it’s [...]
The Economy Crisis
My thoughts are simple on the latest Economy Crisis.
I mean, it’s a complex situation. I’m not an economist but, like every other average Joe, I know that this impacts me. There’s a few different truths about the economy that we all need to keep in mind that are universal (but still opinionated).
So let’s [...]
My Anathem Review
I’m a big fan of Neal Stephenson, author of The Baroque Cycle, Cryptonomicon and other assorted books. A few weeks ago I picked up Anathem at the store the day it was officially released. His previous books have been rich in story, diverse in character, and a blast to read. Anathem [...]
Summer 2008 So Far
Last Saturday I drove down to Oklahoma City to pick up Emma. The drive down was smooth and I spent most of the southerly drive listening to “Execution: The Discipline Of Getting Things Done” by Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan. Not gonna lie, if you’re not interested in business and learning how [...]
Debt Consolidation Book
Hey everyone, this is Garry Conn here and you have probably heard the news that John Cow and I are going head to head in a make money online competition to see who can build a blog and sell it for the most money in SitePoint after 30 days. I just unveiled my niche blog [...]
The White Elephant
Not the one in the room.
…wait…
Maybe it is.
My favorite local band in the area. Check them out on their MySpace page.
It’s Been a Long Week
It’s been crazy. Particularly at work. I worked all day Tuesday, went dancing, then had to work from 1130pm until 4am on Wednesday. Went to bed and had to get up at 730AM to fix some things and ended up being at work until almost 700PM. I was able to squeeze [...]
My Spring San Antonio Trip
Saturday marked my first plane ride to San Antonio since October 15th, 1996. Wonder how I got that date? It’s the day I flew to US Air Force Basic Training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. It’s something you never forget.
I woke up at 6:00 AM on Saturday to wake [...]
Guitar Hero III - Legends of Rock
Is the devil, Bobby!
Seriously, I finally got my hands on Guitar Hero III (for an extended period of time) yesterday at Ty’s house. I had only played it once or twice before and didn’t really get to ‘play’ it for long. Yesterday I learned a few things.
Don’t start playing at 8:30 PM
Keep hydrated
The [...]
New Blog Options
So, to save time in my blogging life, I’ve decided to add a new feature to my personal blog. Well, two features.
One, I’ve added Twitter Tools, that will automatically send my new blog posts as a Tweet to twitter. This will save me from having to do this myself. Twitter Tools will [...]
Spring Break in Omaha
On Wednesday, Emma will be here for ten days. I’m pumped to see her. It doesn’t feel like it’s been two months–it feels closer to forever sometimes. After three years I wouldn’t say it gets easier, you just get used to it I guess.
Pardon me while I wax poetic…
Life is a funny [...]
Happy St Patricks Day!
Saint Patrick’s Day…the day of drinking green bear while wearing green clothing. It’s upon us. Whatever shall we do?
Well, obviously drink green beer and wear green! Emma and I only did one of those–WEAR GREEN. There was a St Patrick’s Day dance party at the DC Centre tonight and we went [...]
Doing The Tango
I LOVE the tango. I’m not sure why, but it’s easily my favorite dance. You get a couple of screwdrivers in me and we’re good to go!
I’m halfway through my current dance “program” and I think I’m going to start working on more advanced dances and move to a more advanced program. [...]
