I post a lot about my computer adventures.  If you are a friend of mine or a regular reader you will find this post pretty standard computer fare. The tenants of Solipsism postulate that MY experiences are the ONLY provable experiences.  When you speak about pain, such as, you cannot really speak accurately about someone else’s pain but only your own.  It also implies that you cannot really ever describe your pain to another...

Throughout the course of my life I have met some extremely colorful characters.  I have a large circle of people who I am happy to call friends.  I have a lot of clients that I work for that I don’t really consider friends.  I want to tell you about a couple that fall into the former group. These folks originally joined my group of acquaintances by becoming customers of mine. I was approached to update their existing business...

   I often work on peoples computers. I do it for fun. I do it to make connections with people.  I do it because there is a need.  I lost count long ago of how many friends I have made with this philosophy.  Most of the time I get paid in the end by having improved my friendships or making connections that lead to other paying jobs.  I don’t look at it as work.

    Went on a one day one night tour of St. Louis this past weekend.  It was a long drive but a friend of mine actually did the driving.  It’s an interesting story so I’ll share it with you. I feel like sharing.     Jamie Palsgrove used to be a coworker friend of mine at TeamDesign.  He moved on to another job but we have kept in touch and still hang out.  We were tossing the idea around before he left of doing a quick...
