Teh Chad

It has come to my attention that I should explain my choice of “teh.” With tehchad.com, @tehchad25 as well as my facebook holding that, people might think I’m a bit dyslexic and/or special. I assure you that I AM special! But, so far, the doctors haven’t yet diagnosed me as such!

A few years ago, an old friend introduced me to Questionable Content – an evolving webcomic. I’ve never been much for comics, but I got into this one! One of the characters named Martin has this shirt that says, simply, teh.

The reason the word exists is thanks to people who chat online, gamers in particular. You have probably seen the word pwn or pwned. This is a common mistake for own. These people are typing so fast that a few words are misspelled all of the time! Teh is the same, from the.

In 2003, I was teaching rock climbing back east and the film Charlie’s Angels had just come out. Out of that, the famous line came out: “Was it the Chad? No! The Chad was great!” And the nickname just stuck! I guess I’ve been called worse things!

After that, I melded the two and Teh Chad was born.

I’m working hard to get this new site looking cool, but in the mean time I have some exciting (maybe just for me, but meh) news. I am now the owner of Teh Chad Marketing, LLC! I’ll put up a page on this site for it, but I’m going to keep it separate from the blog.
Through all of my hobbies and passions, the underlying theme has always been people. From climbing to poker, people are always needed. When it comes to anything, people can get a bit nervous when they don’t know how everything works and the web is no different. Its funny to me how much more comfortable people are when they have an idea about things. So, giving people a good grasp on the thought process is very important. This is what I do when working with someone. A chief justice in the US Supreme court said “Sunlight is the greatest disinfectant.”
It’s a grand day!

Hey guys! I’m getting some graphic together for the new theme and it’s taking some time as I know just about jack in graphic design.
So, for now, a nugget for you quoted roughly…..
“Never memorize something that you can’t look up.” The theory is that if you really need it, then you will know it after looking it up a couple of times. The rest fades to gray.
