Frustration sucks

An evening with Our Favorite Geek ™

Just Well Mixed sells out

Look, if your PDA happens to have a digital camera built into it, there’s no need to bring it by my desk. Really. Not necessary. See? Was that really necessary?

What I learned today: When you have to work next to somebody, all day, every day, it helps if you don’t describe as “the bottom-feeders of society” the profession that person happened to be in during their last job. I’ll give that tip to ya free of charge, kids. No need to thank me.

What do I want out of life? Dan Bricklin, the fellow who came up with VisiCalc, the first electronic spreadsheet, has a great history site describing the process by which VisiCalc went from an idea to an industry. You can even download the original VisiCalc for IBM PC — it runs fine under Windows 2000, […]

If you’ve tried to send me an email between Sunday and today, your message may have bounced. This is because of some technical problems I’ve had in migrating the management of the jasonlefkowitz.net domain from Network Solutions to Go Daddy Software. The issues seem to be resolved now, so if you got a bounce please […]

After my little run-in with stupidity the other day, I found myself needing to buy a new car to replace my faithful Escort. After some looking around, I finally have purchased a new set of wheels: a brand new silver 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX. How is it? It’s a blast! The WRX is a street-legal […]

So I’m flying back to Washington, DC from Dayton, OH this evening after a nice, relaxing winter holiday, and when I arrive at the Dayton airport, I’m greeted with a bit of a surprise: they’ve got a new process for screening bags that you’re going to check in. Apparently the old way — handing the […]

Well, I had a bit of excitement tonight! I was on the way home from my company‘s annual Christmas party, trying to turn left out of a small access road onto a state route, and was promptly hit at high speed by a woman who was driving without her lights on. In the dark. While […]

Here’s some Monday news for you… I’m proud to officially announce the launch of Ant’s Eye View, my new site covering what I’ve termed “anthill communities”. What are anthill communities? They are communities of purpose, where each person does a little bit of work toward a common goal, and together the group reaps benefits that […]

So I’m sitting out right now on Mount Vernon Avenue in Alexandria, volunteering for Art on the Avenue, a neighborhood festival. Our company is sponsoring a few events, including a photo gallery of local people’s dogs, and art by local kids. It’s pretty funny — you should see these dogs mug for the camera! (I’ll […]

Wow… one link from Scripting News to my Tara Sue Grubb story, and we get Slashdotted something fierce! Took down all our Web sites. Boy, the sysadmin is gonna LOVE me for this 🙂

Just found out my company is sending me to next week’s Open Source Content Management Conference (OSCOM) in Berkeley. This should be interesting! I’ll be blogging from the conference, so all my avid readers (both of ya 😉 ) will be able to see what’s new in the world of content management. So pack yer […]

My new article on the tussle for Howard Coble’s House seat in North Carolina, entitled Tara Sue Takes Aim, has just been published by my usual outlet, the Online Community Report. If you’re at all interested in stories about (a) politics or (b) plucky underdogs, you should give it a read — I’m pretty proud […]

Woo-hoo! I’m the #1 ‘Jason Lefkowitz’ on Google! Here’s the proof: Google Search: jason lefkowitz Next goal: to be the #1 Jason on Google. That’s a little more ambitious 🙂 Throw me a link and help me out, folks!

Ok, I promised a big announcement, so here it is… I’ve just moved back to my old stomping grounds of Washington, DC to accept a position with Forum One Communications, a company that I actually have worked for in the past (from 1998-1999; I was their first employee!). I’m going back in a more senior […]

Updates are gonna be thin on the ground for the next couple of weeks. Big news coming on the Our Favorite Geek front. Thanks for your patience and I’ll be back blogging like mad Real Soon Now (TM).

OK, so I’m unemployed…

OK, so welcome to the wonderful world of Just Well Mixed, my brave foray into the world of blogging. I suppose I should tell you a little bit about me, who I am, and why I’m doing this.
