He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

I was busy at work (a three hour meeting!) and distracted once I got home, so I wasn't able to fit in a full update today. Because of that you missed my thoughts on:
- Terri Schiavo's death. Even though I've been waiting and waiting for this and know that it's for the best, I was still sad to read about her death this morning.
- Charlie's comment from my previous post. He wrote that John Danforth's op/ed made him wonder why he didn't like Republicans ten years ago. My response, basically, would have been "I did."Perhaps I'll expand on this tomorrow.
- The evolution of news. For hundreds of years news was shared through the written word. For a few decades television seemed certain to eclipse print, but a new medium (the internet) has brought back print journalism. Does this spell the end to tv news? In it's current form, yes. But Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity will live on.
- The Wordpress fiasco. Doing it was dumb, not realizing people were going to hate you for doing it was dumber.
So please, imagine I had written something insightful and elegant about each of those topics. Maybe I'll have time to expand on some of these tomorrow, but that doesn't seem likely. I'm already pretty tightly booked with meetings at work in the morning, picking up furniture in the afternoon, and a viewing of Sin City in the evening.
