Yo! The sun is out. Wanna make somethin' of it? Yeah, I’m gonna make a day. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I’m not a big fan of Xfinity, but they seem to have begun being proactive. #xfinity #success

I don’t know about the rest of the world, but in the US most of the televised media contest is sports-related. Some even schedule marriages around sports events. Few care about science or the world. We truly live in the land of bread and circuses. #life #failure #sport

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should…that is, connect your app to the cloud if it’s just to monetize your app or product. #marketing #failure #design

“Mr. Bond, the rope that binds you is connected to a winch that will gradually lower you to your doom. Yours will be a slow, delicious death. I call it, Death by Chocolate.” William Wonka tips his hat, turns and exits the chamber, chuckling. #writing #throwawayline
