One Hell of a Year
I started a long and long-overdue blog post, looking back over the past tumultuous year. Angsty, filled with retrospectives about lost friends, betrayal, heartache…
Then the Army of Kids came over for their good-night hugs and kisses: Emma and Sarah obviously, but also James and Joey, Owen and Adam.
I’m sitting here on my couch, with a house full of kids getting ready for bed. The...

Out of Left Field
So, I could write on and on about all the changes and happenings in my life over the past months, especially the past month.
I could tell you all about my trip to Cape Cod and Boston, about going to Fenway and seeing the Red Sox beat the Royals. I could tell you about all the changes at home, and the fact that things are finally starting to come to a conclusion. I could tell you about the...

Finding My Center Again
It’s been far too long since I wrote here.
For those of you who know me – both closely and my friends and followers on the social networks – I’m sure you’re figuring out that I’m going through some pretty complicated and painful life changes.
Betrayal. Hurt and pain. People destroying families and lives, and friendships.
I’m caught in the middle of this...

Spring Cleaning
Just a quick note, in case things act weird for a day or two – I’m switching things around here, doing a little spring cleaning, and consolidating/migrating from brazism.com to braz.me.
It’s shorter. It’s easier to remember. And, if I did it right there shouldn’t be any issues with switching domains around…

iPad Pet Peeve: Notifications
Last weekend, Jake showed off a pretty great little program for my iPad: Noteshelf. After using it on his iPad for a few minutes, it all clicked, and I ran out to get a stylus for my iPad. Since, my iPad has replaced my collection of pens and Moleskines – if you know me at all, you know that’s a Big Deal.
What this means is that I’ve been using the iPad a lot more, especially at...

iPad Impact
Several people have been asking me what I think of the iPad, and I’ve been meaning to write something long-form – a quasi-review, if you will – up here. Long story short, that still hasn’t happened.
What’s the short-form review? It hit me this morning, when I plugged in my MacBook at the office and unlocked the screen.
Staring at me were my Chrome windows from the last time I...

– Hands-on with the Diablo 3 beta: keep that Internet on!
Every time I get marginally excited and start thinking about Diablo III again, the “always connected to the Internet” bit comes up and reminds me why it’s a bad, bad idea.

I think Cory nailed why we call gadgets “sexy” and have some degree of techno-lust: they’re not the long-term relationship types. They’re the hot love affair that burns with a tremendous...
