Bingo Scrabble

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

The rules of Bingo Scrabble, such as they are:

  • Every play must be a bingo
  • Normal dictionary rules do not apply. (That is: words may not be challenged)
  • Definitions for each word must be provided
  • Score is not kept
  • Everybody wins

Best. Objective. Ever.

Rands offers a glimpse in to his resume — the “objective” in particular — in A Brief Glimpse:

I need to work with bright people who don’t take no for an answer and are crazy about well-designed software. If these people aren’t there when I show up, I work hard to find them.

The last time I redid my resume — a couple of months ago — I left the objective off. I may rethink that if I can express what I want to do quite so well as Rands.

A brief message for Jared Ballou

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

Recently I purchased a domain that you hadn’t intended to let expire. You sent some email asking if I’d sell it back to you. Sure. Why not. My plans for it got pushed back so far that I’d just be squatting if I were to keep it. However: Email sent to your address bounced. Let me know what address I might more reliably contact you at and we’ll work out the details.

Update: Given a second chance, email worked. So nevermind ;)

Mmm, year-old cake

I hadn’t planned on going, but if they’re going to send me a card this rad, I sort of have to.

Turning in to your parents

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

I’m at that age where I and many of my friends have finally figured out that we’re more or less going to turn in to our parents. I don’t think that this is good or bad so much as it is more or less inevitable and at least mildly funny. Zefrank provides useful perspective on this phenomenon.
