The Barrettocracy

What’s The Point?

You have random thoughts. You talk to yourself sometimes, too. That’s where it started for me. Over time you build up a list of people that you follow and who are following you, and perhaps you say things that they would appreciate as well – funny anecdotes, inside jokes, news articles, etc.

I find that I like sad songs. I don’t think that I am a sad or melodramatic person. I think the music is pretty and pure. It also taps into real feelings. This type of music is not typically the over-produced mass-marketed stuff you hear all the time on the radio. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that music, so all my friends with Top 10 songs can settle back down.

I haven’t posted a technical entry in a while. I’ve been busy, and have been working on cool stuff. I just haven’t had anything ready to post.

I’ve been working off and on with a buddy (classmate) from The Big Nerd Ranch. We attended the Ruby on Rails class over a year ago together, and have been in communication through the mailing list and email. His business is growing, which is great.

This was a big weekend. I’ll list off the highlights and then go into more detail on some of the bigger points: - I took a personal day Friday to prepare for the MS150 and spend some time with my family

I love a good MixTape. It was the Beastie Boys who proclaimed that a good mix tape can put you in the right mood. They were right. I am in the process of wrapping up MixTape 3, but before that I never posted anything about MT2.

This is the new blog format. I plan to put some sort of image along the top. Maybe a nice B&W shot of something. I’m thinking my Red Wings. For no good reason other than they are 15 years old and I still wear them all the time.
