Yes, I realise that end of the year top 5 and 10 lists are about as rare as a Paris Hilton nipple slip, but damn it all, I feel I need to post something to let my adoring readers (all four of you) know that I am alive and well, and because being awake at…

ForMac, ForMe
After what seems like ages, I’m back in action, and sporting some new toys equipment. After initially figuring on a fabulous looking 20″ Apple LCD (There was no way I could justify the outlay for a 23″ monitor), I started to get second thoughts. I had seen a brief blurb on MacMinute (I believe) about…
Gravatar-enabled
So, among the many day’s activities (fixing the damage of a hacker at a site I help run, dropping a hot tub on my leg, etc), I managed time to add a new feature to this ghetto-fabulous site: Gravatars. What, pray tell, is a gravatar? Well, rather than try to explain, I’ll let the folks…
Eeep…
We’ve (and by that, I mean my host) been having some problems with the MySQL database recently, so if you come to the site, and just see some crazy message about configuring something… well, sorry. My host assures me they’ve got it worked out… they’re just working out some kinks. My last host would have…
Black Friday and Gift Giving
No, this won’t be a biting satyrical look at the insanity of “Black Friday,” the infamous day after Thanksgiving sales spectacular! No, I simply don’t have the energy for it today. I generally abhor the thought of holiday shopping, especially when it involves parking, waiting in lines and/or being crowded into the back of a…
Broadband Required
A month or so ago, I watched the Apple iPod photo unveiling, complete with Bono and The Edge from U2. They were there, promoting their new U2 iPod (which, is pretty cool looking, if it is only a color job for 50 bucks). Mentioned, at the event, was the release of an iTunes Music Store…
Sans Laptop
I bid a fond fairwell today to my faithful Apple Powerbook. After 2.5 years together, we decided to part ways. Okay, that sounds enough like a break up for me. Yes, I sold my trusty Powerbook, and today I shipped it to the great white north to it’s excited new owner. I’m sad to see…
Art Fiend
I spent today being an art geek with my mother. We’re cut from the same cloth, and all it takes is a good art store to really bring it out in us. Apparently, the whole art thing… well, it has to be genetic. We went to Relics, an art/design oriented store in the Holladay area…
Delicious Library
No, I’m not talking about a book repository made entirely of lasagna (although…); Delicious Library is an awesome application for Mac OSX. But… Delicious Library? Why on earth would they name a program that? Well, the company is named Delicious Monster (still rather cryptic, although the website explains why), and technically, the program is called…
Let me run this by you…
Today, I helped a friend get some nasty HTML and CSS whipped into line. He mentioned paying me to give him some “CSS lessons.” This got my mind working. I have had thoughts about doing some tutorials for the past year or so. I have a tendency to be the one people ask when they…
