Underpromise and Overdeliver

When I worked at Modemmedia, that was the trick to client satisfaction. Of course, as everyone knows, in advertising, no matter what you get the client, they're never really happy...and even when they are, all it guarantees is that it ends up being a bigger pain in the ass when they screw you in three months.

In any case, I will aim for updating this every other day...and if I manage to update it for consecutive days? Well, then aren't you just the lucky ones?!

Today was a glorious day in the neighborhood. Went up to my uncle's house to show some samples for the lifeguard uniforms I'm printing for him. Took about 45 minutes once I was there. Then I spent about 2 hours wandering around the upper west side...really more walking down Broadway. Somewhere in there, I stopped off at Ollie's and had myself a tasty braised short rib with black pepper sauce.

I was wearing my Brian Leetch Toronto Maple Leafs game sweater...which caused some obvious Canadian to cheer when I walked past him. Weirdos.

Finally got home, finished cleaning up the apartment. I finally finished rearranging things, and the place looks pretty good, actually. I think I'll do some laundry tomorrow.

Maybe if I get really inspired, I'll clean out the equipment rack in my closet. I have this wire mesh shelf/drawer rack thing in my hall closet. In it, I have about 4 metric tonnes of computer hardware of various types and kinds. Video boards, hard drives, CD-ROM/DVD drives, sound cards, keyboards, a fleet of mice, assorted memory, and so on. I really need to just go through it and either sell it/give it away or scrap it.

Knowing me, I'll probably just keep it. Even if it doesn't work.

Please stop agonising about your output! The goal you have set yourself needn't reproach you... Great blog so far.

A Brian Leetch Maple Leafs jersey? There my friend is the source of your headaches. No doubt.
