10 Aug 2009A decade of working in the Web performance industry can leave one with the idea that no matter how good a site is, there is always the opportunity to be better, be faster. However, I am beginning to believe, just from my personal experience on the Internet, that speed has reached its peak with the [...]

On the persistence of family – William A Kinnear
14 Apr 2009The call came this morning. It really wasn’t unexpected. Whenever I get one of those rare calls from my mother, I half expected the reason was to tell me that he had passed. It’s that aching feeling of tension that the ringing phone was going to tell me that he was gone. My grandfather and [...]
Mail to pierzchala.com
28 Oct 2007If you have been trying to send me stuff at my personal email address, it seems that Namesecure.com has decided to take it’s sweet time setting up my new email services. Right now, if you try and send mail, the MX record reports that there is an NXDOMAIN. I am not happy. Technorati Tags: Namesecure, [...]

Here we go again
29 Nov 2006I wrote this in December 2004. A lot of things have changed since then. And a lot has remained immobile. I don’t know whether to add creative burnout to the raging fire I now know is Bipolar, or to see it as a part of a more general work-related malaise. I need to talk to a [...]

20 Nov 2006Over the next 12-18 months, my plan is to move to working from home more. Like, 100% of the time, when I’m not travelling. To help accomplish this, and to free myself from the servitude to the Telcos, I have started to migrate almost exclusively to Skype for my work communication. In this area, I [...]
20 Years Ago Today…
14 Nov 2006On November 14, 1986, Charles Mountbatten-Windsor turned 38. And I turned 18. I have always been haunted that our two lives are intertwined, twenty years apart. Happy Birthday Chuck. Spread the Love:
Bridging the Gap
22 Aug 2006The last 4 weeks have been extremely traumatic for me. It has culminated in an extended period of renewal, reflection and rejuvenation, where I have looked back over the last 15 years of my life and asked, “What next?”. An interesting note on the word rejuvenation: it means to reclaim your childlike state (ok, I’m [...]
This post has two underlying reasons for existing: 1) to test out the new MSFT Live Writer Beta; and 2) to talk about a great story that GigaOm pointed us to today. Om Malik pointed out a story in the Seattle Times today that talked about “Broadband in the Boonies”. Having grown up in the [...]
Spokane River Falls
22 Apr 2006The Frog Blog brings us a link to a slideshow highlighting the Spokane River Falls. Our family visited Spokane often as I was growing up, but I have never seen the falls at full throttle. In fact, it’s damn impressive without water. This amazing outcrop, obviously shaped by water, with only a trickle dribbling over [...]
