Website Building Update – Week 13
November 27th, 2009 by Clayton
Here we are at week 13. I’ve always liked the number 13. Sort of my lucky number.
First I’d like to thank everyone that’s encouraged me over the past few weeks. I have a strange personality where I can be flying high one minute, only to crash into the depths of despair the next. [...]

Gratitude
November 25th, 2009 by Clayton
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. Maybe it’s a bit cheesy, but I feel like I’d like to take a moment to reflect on what I’m thankful for this year.
There’s still over a month left, but this year has been pretty wild so far. I’ve gone through the grueling ordeal of completing a [...]

Website Building Update – Week 12
November 20th, 2009 by Clayton
It’s been almost three solid months of work on these websites. Sometimes it feels like so much longer. Gone are those sweaty summer days of August when I decided to build the first website. Little did I know that this project would consume the next three months of my life. And who knows how long [...]

Tim Ferriss Diet – One Week Later
November 16th, 2009 by Clayton
I have a cynical friend (that happens to be overweight) who asked me “why bother losing weight at all?” His rationale was that once you stop the diet, you will just gain all the weight back as if people are just helplessly caught in the gravitational field of obesity and no matter what they try [...]

Website Building Update – Week 11
November 13th, 2009 by Clayton
I apologize for not posting on Wednesday. Comcast went out in my neighborhood and I was unable to get online for a while.
Anyhow… This is the 11th week that I’ve been tinkering around with these websites. It’s been almost a month and a half since my last sale and I’m honestly getting frustrated [...]

Tim Ferriss Diet – Final Weigh In
November 9th, 2009 by Clayton
On Friday, my girlfriend and I wrapped up the Tim Ferriss diet. There have been ups and downs a long the way, but we finished to entire month of dieting. To celebrate, we went out and had a nice tasty dessert at Septieme here in Seattle.
I have to confess, though. I am a bonehead. I [...]

Website Building Update – Week 10
November 6th, 2009 by Clayton
Sometimes I feel like Sisyphus, that Greek dude that had to spend eternity rolling a boulder up a hill only to watch it roll back down and start all over again. Or maybe it’s more like Zeno’s Paradox, where I keep cutting the distance between me and success in half but I never quite [...]

Fun with Rejection Letters
November 4th, 2009 by Clayton
Just for fun, I thought I’d share a story from about two and a half years ago.
In 2007, I was applying to get into grad school. I sent out applications to a bunch of schools. There were about three that I REALLY wanted to get into. They were perfect for me!
Unfortunately, they did not see [...]

November 2nd, 2009 by Clayton
Alright! The last week of this diet! I got back from Portland last night were I spent some time with one of my oldest friends. My girlfriend and I decided to put the diet on the back burner for the entire trip. We thought it best to spare my friend the burden of finding us [...]
