“Re-launching” this Jalopy

Jalopy outside of Wells, NV

And about to get a lot more technical. We have a blog over at d27n which no one really used, I’ve decided to reboot the d27n site and retire the blog yet I still needed a place to share long-form content.

Less politics, because seriously, what’s the fucking point?; a lot more jQuery, Node.js, and big data. Yay?

More startup tips, culture, and what not, ‘cuz I’ve been there, done that, and this time I’m at the nucleus. I have to admit it’s a bit weird doing it now at 38, I’ve kinda seen everything, the first giant meltdown, the rebuild, the energized children who really don’t have a clue as to what they’re doing (God bless their drunken optimistic hearts). Oddly, I don’t see it as an advantage. Rich people love bug-eyed kids with great hair product and whacky ideas. My self-determined pass/fail comes December 22, the winter solstice, thus the name: Project Solstice. More on that later.

Also photos. Love taking photos, I may suck at it, but it gives me peace.

Disturbing

A room here at the office contains nothing but two knee pads. It’s been bothering me for days… so thought I’d share. You’re welcome.

Asia

Flying to Hong Kong tomorrow, via Seoul, so the whole adventure will take about 20 hours.
Taking the 30D and a few of the better lenses, planning on trying to find some peace on the weekends and snap off a few. I’ll see if I can’t find some Chinese people to take pictures of… AHEM.
It’s hot, humid, and lacks good bath products. Or at least a belief thereof.
Will probably hit Shanghai, too, before I head home. (I make it sound like I’m on vacation… I’m most definitely not.) I’d love to make it home before Folsom, but don’t know if that’s going to happen.
Perspective: Last time in Shanghai I got vid of people dancing on the street to Polak Music outside of a McDonald’s.
