Wanted: Personal Puppetmaster
Jan 28th
Wanted: Personal Puppetmaster
I need assistance with my life. Obviously the choices I’ve made over the years have not had positive results.
Yes, I’m married, but things could be better. Yes I have a fantastic job, but my work/life balance is non-existent.
Are you in your mid-thirties? Have you had success with you romance, employment, finances – enough so that you feel comfortable guiding me through my headaches?
Come join me as a personal puppetmaster; make my decisions for me, in love, finances, employment, time, hobbies.
Coordinate with my darling wife as to what’s best for me, using your experience as a base.
Salary to be discussed based on my ability to put my life in your hands, and how responsible you perform.
This is an ongoing project, hopefully self-terminating (meaning: I’d love to get to a point where I can manage my life on my own, without your help).
Wedge: what is it good/bad for?
Nov 3rd
Here’s a short list of what a wedge is good and bad for:
Good:
- For cheese
- Holding a door open
- Breaking up logs for firewood
- Improving your golf score
- Visually describing data in a chart
- Bedroom antics (yes, there’s a product for that)
- Stopping jets from falling off of aircraft carriers
- Securing an arch (keystone)
Bad:
- Splitting up a marriage
As you can see, wedge’s have a multitude of good uses. Let’s keep it that way, ok? Let’s stay away from the bad, please.
What have I been up to lately?

An IPTC asset management tool for my employer – allows mobile photographers to upload batches of images and in-browser assign IPTC tags. Completed uploads are routed to various output channels (print, blogs, etc).
A real-estate data normalizing tool that will assist editors and designers in capturing real-estate data from providers, normalize it for print and online, and quickly layout print pages. No more hunting and pecking, or formatting based on each vendor!
Cultivating Conscience – Justine’s baby, really, but a great adventure for us both: Attempting to live within 100 food-miles.
