Wow, I’m not entirely sure where to start. I think government in general is a good idea, but Metro Nashville must have drawn the short straw when it came to good governance.

Several weeks ago, I received a citation for going 51 mph in a 35 mph zone. Fine, I admit that I was speeding. But, to allay any fear that I am a crazed road demon bent on life-threatening speed orgasms, let me explain:

I’m not really a fan of rap, but this remix is great!

I love sushi, and I love flash games, so this is a perfect match! The game is great fun and the graphics are perfect (harkening back to the old 8-bit days). Anyways, take a break and have some fun, you sushi ninja.

Oh, and for an added bonus, google for nyotaimori if you want to see how some people (mainly men) prefer their sushi (n.b., I don’t condone this dining technique).

Ok, I’m all for people spending their money on whatever they feel like. It’s their money, they can do what they want. But sometimes, you have to wonder if there is an inverse relationship between net worth and IQ. This article heralds the conception of the newest most expensive dessert in the world. Read the article, and decide for yourself. Is there a point where sense is thrown out of the window?

I haven’t been able to do much graphic design in a while. Yesterday, I got some inspiration for a new desktop image… here is the result. I hope you like it. I’ll have some more sizes available later. Right now I have to leave on a company retreat.

Yes, you read it right, Google has finally added IMAP support for gmail! I can’t tell you how insanely happy I am right now. The one thing that has constantly bothered me about my iPhone is the mail support. The mail app is fine, but gmail’s POP system was horrible. It would constantly pull archived items into by inbox, send me messages letting me know that I sent a message, and would even occasionally sacrifice a child in China.

Having your money split between accounts can be a blessing or a curse. For my wife and I, it was a curse last week. Here’s the story:

visualParagon is my (Jared A. Scheel) personal website. It has been down for several months now, while I have switched servers and begun a redesign. Unfortunately, I have precious little free time, so the redesign is taking infinitely longer than it should. In the meantime, I have set up a basic blog for me to post my thoughts. Enjoy!
