I wish I could say that making custom RSS feeds that are generated by WordPress was easy… Unfortunately, it isn’t. After much work and scouring the WP Wiki, I’ve managed to create an RSS feed from my new “peep this” current links section (which will probably work better once the redesign is unveiled) on the…

Holy crap. I cannot stop listening to this album… literally. I take a break every fifth or sixth time through and listen to some Elliott Smith or Hotel Lights, but aside from that, this pretty much sums up what I’m listening to right now. I got a copy of the album via my position at…
Closet iPod Users
According to a recent Wired article, I am a closet iPod user. Never mind the fact that while I’m on my second iPod (and longing for a new, higher capacity one), that I date back to the big 5GB original iPod (you know… the ones with moving parts and no touch controls anywhere… let alone…
Oh my…
Just a quickie today: William Shatner’s new album site. I love Shatner… he cracks me up. This album looks to be classic, especially since it gets Shatner and Ben Folds back together. Classic, I tell you… classic!
The Futility of My Attempts at Music
When I was sixteen, I pleaded with my parents for a guitar. I wanted, like all teenagers and men having a midlife crisis, to be a rock star. I was successful in talking them into a guitar for my birthday, except instead of an electric (like I wanted), they insisted on an acoustic guitar… “electric?…
Notice
For some reason, someone at Amputate is claiming to be me, linking to my site and asking for feedback. I cannot fathom why they are doing this, and while feedback is always welcome, posing as another designer is simple identity theft. Sure, it’s not as though they are stealing my credit cards or the like;…
Relative File Sizes and Dijon Mustard
Some odd thoughts from today (or yesterday, since it is past midnight): How can have I managed to make a PDF that was originally 28MB in size, and using only the “Save as PDF…” function in the Mac OS X print dialogue, make it 730KB, and yet I’ll tweak and crop a JPG to death,…
Siska
Ladies and gents, I present Siska the cat. I spent an hour or so taking photos of our cat. Why? Because I’m a giant wuss and I like the cat. So deal with it, Paco. In regard to young Siska, I have an interesting story to share with you fine folks. Siska is a Russian…
Cleaning the carpets and wireless networking
I’m posting this from my laptop as I sit in my lounge watching VH1 (yeah, I know… but daytime TV is, as I am discovering, awful and at least they are playing some music). I’m kind of “locked out” of my office (and away from my wonderful PowerMac G5) for the next day or two,…
Typography geek
OOOOOOOOOOOO… this is just way too cool: Ballpark Script Typeface. Now how to justify the expense? I’m such a giant geek…
