I had the very distinct pleasure of meeting up with the great Scott Hodge tonight and his photoblogging buddy Abe – from immagini – in Times Square, NYC. We sat and had a few drinks and a great dinner together and discussed blogging, marketing and life. It was a fantastic opportunity and I can’t wait […]

The man has only one look for Christ’s sake! Blue Steel? Ferrari? Le Tigra? They’re the same face! Doesn’t anybody notice this? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills! Self-Portrait | Blue Steel with Kiwi Hair Wax | April 10, 2005 Preface: If you haven’t read the previous post [Life After SuperCuts?] already you really […]

I’ve been engaged in an ongoing battle about my haircuts with my lovely wife, Kate. You see, growing up, my father would take me to this dingy, old-fashioned barber shop – complete with old Italian men, barber shop pole and hunting magazines – to get our hair cut together. IT WAS THE BEST. From sitting […]

No, that’s not suggestive or even debatable. I am, ipso facto, an idiot. You see that beautiful silver 2005 Honda CRV pictured? We have one. It’s still brand new. Yesterday I took off from work to spend the day with my family. With Erin’s erratic sleeping & eating – due to the terrible pain and […]

The New York City/Northern New Jersey News outlets are abuzz with a plane crash that took place this morning about 4 miles south of where I’m sitting right now. A small private corporate jet was taking off from Teterboro Airport and never made it off the ground. It skidded off the end of the runway, […]

This Friday we are having our 2nd Annual Company Bowling Tournament. I was speaking with some co-workers today and they asked if I was bringing my daughter tomorrow. Well, trying to be a smart-alec, I dryly retorted, “No, but I’ll be bringing her on Friday…ha ha ha…” They both looked at me with blank stares. […]

We got slammed pretty hard with this Northeast “Blizzard.” It started snowing around noon on Saturday and ended around noon on Sunday. All morning the wind was pretty fierce – kicking snow around until snowdrifts formed the size of small SUVs. Not sure how much we actually got. They were predicting 12″-18″. I think we […]

The family of jeans (or “dungarees” as we called them as kids) in my weekend ensemble either had ink stains, holes in all the wrong places or just disgusting in the most general of ways. After contemplating this morning what I was going to wear to a baby shower later in the day, my wife […]

This time of year is always crazy busy at work. At one point yesterday, it looked like I would be sleeping at the office all weekend long. Stuff wasn’t getting approved by the client that had earlier been approved, so it was getting very frustrating. At some point around lunchtime yesterday, the work gods smiled […]

Went food shopping tonight after work. I always do the food shopping because I enjoy doing it. Maybe because it lets my brain unwind from the day. Maybe because the package designer in me needs the confidence boost of seeing all the terrible, terrible labels. Maybe because my first job was as a bagger at […]
