I am Justin Tadlock.

I am also a writer. A front-end developer. A gardener. A small-town Alabama kid just trying to figure out whatever it is that that folks are supposed to figure out on this journey. Welcome to my little home on the web.

The Singularity Is Near

This is a long overdue review, especially since it’s been almost two months since I finished reading Ray Kurzweil’s signature piece. Kurzweil has been bashed, laughed at, and called a lunatic many times over, but his book speaks for itself. There are facts, statistics, and scientific laws that provide plentiful … Continue reading →

Customer Service, TiVo, & New Career Idea

Yes, that’s right. I made a new Christmas theme for this year. It’s nothing especially special, but I thought I’d try and spread some Christmas cheer.
