Being in the tech world, it’s hard to go even one day without hearing self-driving cars mentioned. On Twitter, on the news, or in everyday conversations. Here in Chandler Arizona, you’ll even see a decent number of the Waymo cars driving around. It’s really easy to spot them because of how unusual they look: a […]
I joined GoDaddy in March 2008 and it was the first job that I truly loved. I worked as a developer in the hosting department for all 8 years and got a chance to work on most of the products (dedicated hosting, VPS, shared hosting, and their user interfaces) using a variety of technologies (C++, […]
Hosting is the physical place where “content” (web sites, images, files, etc) lives at. Basically, this is just another person’s computer.

Just over a week ago (March 31st), I got the opportunity to team up with my co-worker and friend Matt Smith to give a talk for two different classes at Madison #1 Middle School here in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona.

Back in 2011, I found a great book: Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl I don’t remember how I found this book, but I’m really glad I did; reading it was a life-changing experience for me. It’s only 165 pages long, short and easy enough that I read through it in two sittings. […]
I love my life. My friends, my family… The work I do every day as a computer programmer that actually gives my life a sense of fulfillment and meaning. But I’m at a point now where I often find myself thinking in-depth about the life I’ve made for myself… asking, “What’s next?”. Projects get completed […]
The past few months have been life changing in a lot of ways. In my free time over the past 2 years, a group of friends and I formed a company and have been working hard to finish creating a game that some of us had originally started in 2002. We made great progress, this […]
Owning a Mercedes can be an expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. My goal with this post is to provide you with resources so that you can (hopefully) save yourself some cash. You don’t have to be rich to own a Benz. Going to the dealership is always a great experience for me, but […]
