Starting Over…Again

I really mean it this time.

For some reason, when I went to buy chipheadmike so many years ago it wasn't available.

I couldn't believe that some a**hole had decided to grab the name. I mean. Really. How many chipheadmikes could there actually be.

The other day, I decided to look again to see if it was available after 7 years or so and WHOLA! It indeed was available.

The next question was…what do I do with it?

I have decided to merge everything that I could find that I've ever written or posted online into one place.

That is what chipheadmike will be. A place to keep my stuff.

Starting Over

This blog has been around since 2008 or so.

I do not update it regularly.

I have decided to create something new. A new name with articles or columns that I write that have more to do with the writing world I am now apart of.

This new website will be a bunch more entertaining and I’m going to take some of the filters off. I will write about and post things that interest me whether they are too “bold” to post or not.

I’ve always tried to keep a super clean blog.

Sometimes, though, you just want to say bad words.

I’ll see ya’ll out there somewhere.

iPad Mini Logitech Keyboard Post

I just got the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Mini Case.

It is super small and this is the first typing I’ve done on it.

So far, not bad. Definitely something designed for the writer who needs to be able to quickly compose something on his/her Mini.

Some of the keys had to be combined with other keys to create a better typing experience. Once you get past that, it really isn’t bad. I can easily see myself typing out a short story and re-working a scene with the iPad Mini with this keyboard attached.

If you suffer from the “fat finger” thing then this keyboard is not for you.

Life Lesson #12

Never make a business appointment with someone for a specific time and then just not show up.

It’s never cool.

Updated: February 25, 2013

Update: I should probably post “why” its not cool. Its not cool because by being late you are saying to them “I do not value your time.” You can NEVER make the claim that you care about them because by being late or not showing up at all, you have already proven otherwise with your actions alone. ** Bitter content removed ** I had written an additional sentence or two but after reading through it this morning, I feel that it was a bit over the top. Being late for anything is one of my biggest pet peeves. You can almost completely control this event and by being late you also show that you have no control over events that you obviously should. Bottom line: being late shows a lot about the person who is late. None of them are positive.

Technical Projects

I am currently working on server type stuff. I realize that if I get much more technical than that, there will be a few folks whose heads may explode.

I enjoy the simplicity of Mac Server.

I do not enjoy the complexity of creating an internal ecosystem.

Instapaper Roundup

These are some of the stories I found to be important enough to save to Instapaper.

Our paychecks just got 2% lighter.

Some folks would like to ban the term “fiscal cliff” from the English language.

A great bluetooth security idea for Apple computers.

That's all I have for this week.

Stay tuned. Coming up this week…I'm sure congress will do something stupid, someone will try to take someone else's rights away, and the United States (sans morality) will continue to spiral into the abyss of history as a great idea on paper but easily corruptable over time which leads to its inevitable failure.

Fieldrunners 2 for iPad

This game is my latest addiction on the iPad. This is not a game that you'll find yourself playing for a small amount of time. I'm always looking up at the clock and saying something like “damn!”

You can get the game here.
