My Newest Poem
I haven’t been writing poetry lately. Not since the book at least. But I wrote my first poem in quite some time today.
It’s different and will annoy many of you. But for those of you who are tech-minded, you might like it.
You’ll probably think it doesn’t look right, but it’s just as I intended.
Education in a Taxi
It’s not too often that I take taxis around Chicago. They are over-priced and oftentimes smell like a diaper in need of changing.
I’m also convinced that every taxi driver in the world knows and takes the longest possible route from point A to point B. It’s just irritating overall, honestly.
After a long day of teaching, attending class and phone calls, I decided to take a...
Behold the Power of Social Media
When I hear people talk about how Facebook, Twitter and other Social Networks disconnect individuals from each other, I can’t help but smirk.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand where they are coming from but I posit that Social Media actually connects us in ways that we’ve never been able to be connected.
Even more so, in an age where social change is as important as it’s...
Why I'm Just a Writer in a Web-World
I work for one of the most awesome companies in the most interesting market in the world- the tech industry.
I’m pretty fortunate to be a part of the amazing world that is “technology,” and even though I’ve done it for a while, I’m still just a writer in a web-world.

Why I Redesigned My Website...Again.
+ Readability- This layout flows horizontally then vertically, which makes flowing from one post to another easier.
+ Design- It’s simple, organized but more aesthetically appealing than the previous version (Heath 2.0).
+ Fun- I really love learning new html/css. As many of you know, I’m not a web developer but I do thoroughly enjoy playing around with code.
I’d really love...
