Until Death Do I Labor

Friday, January 31st, 2003

The next chapter in my life officially started. Turning the page took four months, but the move from high school student to working-class (and *still* college-bound) man is complete.

President George W. Bush, State of the Union 2003 Address
Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America’s gift to the world, it is God’s gift to humanity.

Happy Birthday Macintosh! Yes, it is true. I was born the year of the Apple Macintosh, nine days before actually.

The Year the Music Dies
Yes, but does it work for techno?
Suddenly my iPod feels jealous
Creative Motivator
A respectable Palm OS 5 arrives
MP3s via Wi-Fi AND Java?! I’m sold.

Fare Thee Well!

As of February 1, 2003, I will no longer work with ZJAM Youth Ministries, Inc. ZJAM was my first client as a free-lancer. The TeenHopeLine and ZJAM web properties thrust me into so many situations where my creativity, management skills, technical knowledge, and tolerance for Microsoft IIS forced personal growth. The sites reflected my (at […]
