anyone looking for a mortgage?

mom found this and sent it my way with the title, “Phil makes it big”

I hope this isn’t the pinnacle of my professional career

You think Jeff noticed the Zapfino in the masthead?

Nazgul is my neighbor.

I just found out that my neighbor did the voice of the guy you hear in this game. Regardless of whether or not you dig on this kind of uber-nerd kind of stuff (which I do, btw), it’s pretty cool, no? I feel like I know a celebrity now. I totally can’t wait until I see Guy That Knows the Step in Time Guy again.

I may get my new pal to do the answering machine message for our company.

Stecher Marketing Services “Choose My Ad Contest”

I was asked to submit an ad for the Virginia Youth Symphony Orchestra’s program today. The ad’s due by tomorrow morning by 9AM.

I came up with these real quick. Which one do y’all like? I’ll run the one y’all vote for.

Thanks!

I’m a sucker for clever packaging. Even when it’s for yarn.

Vie The Dieline.

Nice. The folks that make golf club covers should steal this idea.

Got our new couch and TV stand today…

Finally able to stretch out on the couch with Annie vs. her stretching out and me sitting with legs on my lap…not that that’s a bad thing…I’m just sayin’…

We’re just two weeks away! If you haven’t been on this tour before, be sure to come out this year. Annie and I are in charge of the tour guides. Meaning, if you want to go on the tour and want to do it for free, shoot me an email and volunteer to be a guide! All you have to do is carry a lantern and lead your group from one spooky house to the next. Each house has actors in costume telling actual ghost stories from that house…

Last year, the tour got a little backed up so Annie and I got to share a few stories of our own to kill time while we waited. Remind me to tell y’all “The Story of the Dimes…”

Still (delicious tapas restaurant) launches its new menu tonight! I got to pop in last night as they were doing a tasting for their staff (there are perks to living across the street from a great restaurant aside from the staggering distance back to one’s home). Here’s one of the new items: Bacon wrapped tater tots!

Tartan Golf Club in the Northern Neck of VA.

This place actually allows kilts and plus-fours as dress code.

Anyone have a kilt I could borrow?

Papercut is a new public theme I made. Everything is customizable and it supports tags and commenting.

That’s one handsome theme you have there sir. I think I shall install it.

I couldn’t agree more and shall also hop on this well-designed bandwagon.

I GOT BLISTERS ON THESE FINGERS!

I started playing guitar when I was 13. It was some crappy acoustic that I can’t even remember the brand name.

But I remember trying to play my dad’s Martin D-28 and on the few occasions that I had my fingers in the right places, it sounded like what God must sound like when He’s humming.

Well, I just picked up the Adobe CS4 Design Premium and it’s like that damn Martin all over again. It’s overwhelming as all get out, but on the few occasions that I click in the right places…..HUMMMMMMMMMM.

I can’t wait until I’m flying around on all these apps like the Lester Flatt of Adobe.

You’ve got to be kidding me. In honor of this ad, I think I will serve pork chops in honor of Ramadan…

I also like the upside-down flag in the corner.
