Kenny was my neighbor. He always kept an eye out on our house when we traveled. Once, he even mowed the lawn for me, with out my knowing, while we were away.
He loved Mona; thought she was just fantastic. Anytime we were out playing, he would smile a big toothy grin, wave real big, and shout, “Hi, Mona!” I’m going to miss that.
Last Christmas, Jen noticed him collecting evergreen branches. She inquired what he was doing, and found out he was creating Christmas arrangements for people. I only later realized those people were mostly elderly, and not spending Christmas with anyone.
On Saturday, Dec 17th, 2011, Kenny passed away due to a long and painful fight with cancer. The closing line from Kenny’s obituary reads, Ken always gave more than he got out of life regardless of who he was dealing with… I can think of no better description.
Rest in peace, Kenny. You will be missed dearly. This street isn’t as good with out you.

Here’s an easy way to launch on time and on budget: keep them fixed. Never throw more time or money at a problem, just scale back the scope.
There’s a myth that goes like this: we can launch on time, on budget, and on scope. It almost never happens and when it does quality often suffers.
If you can’t fit everything in within the time and budget allotted then don’t expand the time and budget. Instead, pull back the scope. There’s always time to add stuff later — later is eternal, now is fleeting.

Necessary may be an overstatement for the items listed in JCrew’s Necessary Luxuries page. Cool, however…
To the powers at JCrew: less Dodo cases, and more like this, please.

Anonymous asked: Eric - You still live in the Kansas City area - it says you just went to work for Oven Bits and they show they are in Dallas. Tom Brush.
Tom, you are correct. On both accounts. I am in the Kansas City area, and I work at Oven Bits. Oven Bits is based in Dallas. Scotty Moon and me are expanding the empire in to the exotic midwest.
Speaking of Oven Bits, we’re looking to hire a few talented developers. If you know anyone with top shelp chops, please pass along the word.
