"Better than Cosmo! Others just recite facts, but I like your posts best because of the in-depth analysis."
"Great work! Your stuff is a sight for sore eyes in this wash of dumbed down crap for the masses I see all the time on the internet."
"Greg is a dapper gent, intelligent, and easy to hang with. He made me feel right at home in his film noir-esque lair. We talked at great length about books, influences (we both write), and on a broad range of topics that might cause one to raise an eye brow while pondering. He was great fun to roam the city with. I'm looking forward to another round of pursuing art exhibits and deep dialog over late night coffees the next time we cross paths."
"Greg! Thank you so much! I will not forget this! Your help will make it easier for me to secure a job when I get back home from Switzerland!"
"Dude I hate to write you about this again but those nutrition tips you sent me were a fucking godsend. Anyway, I do appreciate ya... you're a good egg."
"Dear Mr. Greg: You are creative and amusing... two things I find irresistible. If I didn't live so far away, I'd go after you myself! Thanks for all the laughs."
"Hey thanks for all the stuff on girls and relationships. I was up reading last night for like 3 hours. We had an earthquake not too long ago here in California, but man, some of the stuff you wrote shook me more than the quake!"
"I have to say, you provided several hours of entertainment for me just now. It is a great thing to know there are other people with similarly twisted senses of humor and intelligence. Thank you very much Greg Thompson, and good luck with the woman of your dreams. Should you ever feel the need to entertain me again, please feel free to do so, I'll take it any way I can get it."Archive for June, 2008
A Brief History Of You And Your Stuff
Monday, June 23rd, 2008It’s ironic we’re looking to industrial designers to save the earth when the profession has been so instrumental in feeding society’s ravenous desire for gratuitous change. In the 1920′s, GM started tweaking the looks of its cars each year - an effort to boost sales in a saturated market. The ploy worked: other carmakers followed suit, [...]
Hotline Adventures In The Weird World of Warez
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008Recently while working on some icon graphics for TodoPRO, a sound effect triggered a distant memory from my shady past. It was the blurting, telephonic, and pornographicly obnoxious noise of an Admin broadcast message – from an old software-friend of mine called Hotline Connect. These days it’s a sad lonely digital ghost town. But back in [...]
5 Questions To Help You Choose Your Purpose In Life
Friday, June 20th, 2008Today I read a pretty good article by sales and achievement guru Brian Tracy on “How To Find Your True Calling” in life. It had some good stuff I wanted to share, but I’ve renamed my post a little to reflect my own existential beliefs that your purpose is not something hiding under a rock [...]
What Does “Living Life” Mean To You?
Thursday, June 19th, 2008What is “living” ? Sounds like such a simple question, but I’m frequently surprised by how few people really consider what it really means to them. And no, I don’t mean the involuntary act of breathing, and all the other things the body does to sustain itself. I’m talking about choosing your place in the world, finding it, [...]
