Know what I love? When I go to a site that won’t allow me to back-arrow out of it. That makes me trust and want to buy stuff from them.

About Me:
My name is Barrett Chase and I live in a place called Duluth, Minnesota, on the shore of Lake Superior. By trade I’m a processing clerk for the US Postal Service, and if your first impulse is to crack a joke about how all postal workers are insane, you don’t know the half of it.
I reside in a brick duplex with a really nice deck that overlooks the lake. My girlfriend Christa lives here too, along with her 30-pound tomcat. We have walls full of books, we eat a lot of vegetables, and we watch a lot of TV. It’s a pretty good life.
If you’d like to learn more about life in Duluth, check out Perfect Duluth Day, a blog I co-created and administrate.
About The Product:
Back in 2002, I started this website as a place to post my weekly comic, Occam’s Razor. I didn’t know what a blog was then, but I had a section on the front page called “News” that I updated whenever I had anything newsworthy to say. One day in early 2003, while working at a part-time job where I did basically nothing except kill time surfing the internet, I discovered weblogs. Two days later, I started my own.
In 2005, I finally gave the blog a name, The Product, and I wrote a tongue-in-cheek manifesto explaining my ideas of what a blog should be like. I also switched from using Blogger to using Movable Type. That worked out fairly well until I upgraded to Movable Type 4, which is a horrible piece of software.
For awhile, I tried videoblogging, but that kind of sucked.
In the summer of 2008, I switched from MT4 to Wordpress. I used to design my own templates, but I stopped doing that.
