ipad résumé experiment postmortem

Monday, March 26th, 2012

A brief and somewhat boring story about my less than honorable motivations to beat the competition on the App Store.

we need the olive twig

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

It’s like Rebecca Black is Noah and the car is the Ark and she is loading it up with every kind of teen angst, two by two.  The deluge of awful teen music, pouring into our ears, that is crooned through the nose and autotuned is analogous to the flood. Two awkward looking girls with moles. [...]

On Christmas Eve, I turned on the garbage disposal with my hand it.  It was stupid, I know.  It was late, it had been a long day, and I just wanted to get everything ready for Christmas Day and go to bed. I was trying to clear something from the disposal while the water was [...]

One of the guys from the NerdTown team gave a redeem code to his brother for Baby Activity Logger.  His brother has no kids, but a few days later reported that he was using the application.  Apparently he is using it to track his own bowel movements.  That got us thinking.
