I got an email yesterday evening asking, “Who is that guy doing the Peanuts Christmas dance in front of the Hawley sign?”. That peanut is Phil, the head of our IT department. He is the man behind the curtain, orchestrating the internals of our online commerce juggernaut as it rumbles along vanquishing animate and inanimate [...]

If you’re of similar mind, feel free to drop by and hoist yourself upon Brantley’s (returns department) lap and hear shipping tales of yore. Like the time [...]

After arriving at Big Rock trail, I decided to put the camera away as it was detracting from the “overall ride quality”. However, even though I have ridden Big Rock clockwise several times, rounding the corner and seeing the backside of the “big rock” always freaks me out. Looks like some Tolkien-ian goblin hunched over [...]

(Stabbing back spasms or not, nothing would keep me from Sunday night’s Dinosaur Jr show in Atlanta. And yes, it was loud.
