Was Closing Your PayPal Account on Your Year End List?

It made it onto mine. Closed my eBay account quite some time ago. When eBay was America’s garage sale it was cool, now that it is nothing but store fronts it is shit. I had one person creating/resizing covers for the geek books I was releasing on the Espresso Book…

Forever Isn’t as Long as It Used to be

Early in my career I worked as a midnight computer operator for AirFone, Inc. I was there right at the time they started up the RailFone and through the financial troubles which resulted in them becoming GTE AirFone in 1986. Of course, you all know that GTE eventually was consumed…
