After clicking through about 300 links, I immediately agreed with his statement that “It would be nice to … Continue reading What nerds do when they are too stressed out to sleep.→
And anxiously awaiting the return of their lovely bride from far off lands. [include file=http://www.jakesnewblog.com/wp-content/gallery/2011/jan/selfp.html iframe=true width=658 height=685 scrolling=yes] (slide to view) They take a photo of themselves in a mirror, or even a small series of them.

Above: my new beard. When I returned to my (real) job after the TN trip, I discovered that several of the first-year associates in my group were sporting some pretty aggressive facial hair. I was promised a certificate and a tote bag if I joined in on the cause. Although I have since discovered the … Continue reading A couple of things.. then the weekend.→
