Yep; the Binary Biker is moving to Pittsburgh. Actually, it’s the Binary Princess that is moving. My lovely wife is now employed by Google and is relocating to work in their Pittsburgh office on the Google Shopping product. It all started about six months ago when my wife’s company, for which she has been working […]

… before you give me unasked for advice on how to avoid getting sick so often. Let me start by saying I have a great support network of friend, colleagues, and relatives who all care deeply for me and my health. I am gently pushed, reminded and encouraged daily to lead a healthy(ier) lifestyle, to get […]

She didn’t want me in her life. Not at first, anyway. I was mommy’s new boyfriend and I was a nuisance because I kept getting in the way of how things were supposed to be. Sure, she liked me. I was funny, considerate, and I actually talked to her and was interested in who she was. But […]

This question isn’t whether or not the TSA should allow knives on planes. The question is why is the TSA even involved in private travel in the first place? (why is there even such a thing as the TSA?) Security is the job of the airlines and the airports; not the federal government. When a […]

As Program Manager at myList, part of my job is to evaluate all new devices that may support my application, see how it works, and determine what, if any, changes need to be made to my platform to support the new device.

This Thursday I get to participate in a NASA social event, celebrating the final journey of the Space Shuttle Atlantis from Kennedy to the KSC Visitor’s Complex. Only 45 of NASA’s social media followers have been selected to participate in the event, and I am fortunate enough to be a follower so selected. As many of you know, I am an amateur astronomer […]

October 30, 2012 2 Comments
Sometimes I can be a real jerk. I am not proud of myself right now. I did something I find personally despicable and I can’t, for the life of me, understand why I did it. In a thoughtless moment, I responded to a situation in a callous manner. I treated another human being poorly. Here’s […]

I am published again! Aliens Can’t Sing the Blues, my collection of short stories, haibun, and flash fiction have been published on amazon.com as a Kindle Single.

June 17, 2012 2 Comments
I went into my local grocery store / home goods store last week and purchased a 12-pack of beer. It’s a national chain that you would immediately recognize and could guess the name of instantly. You’d probably hit it right in the bullseye on your first guess. I’m not going to call them out by […]

You’re lucky to be alive. Sometimes you take it for granted, even with the constant reminder that greets you every morning in the mirror. A jagged 10-inch scar running from your left ear all the way down your neck is the most visible, and yet the least significant, scar you have. You can’t feel the […]
