Since the advent of my fabulous site, and more accurately, my installation of Word Press, I’ve become an addict. Not to nose candy or some form of ritualistic monkey tap-dance, but to syndicated news feeds, usually in the form of RSS. For those of you who haven’t stumbled across this time-saving technology, I’ll fill you…

Sexually transmitted… uh, Web Standards?
I’ll be brief, as today may prove to be insanely busy. I ran across an awesome article by John Allsopp’s girlfriend, in which she, self-described as a former member of the “Clueless Majority,” describes her “conversion” to an appreciation of web standards. It makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.
to the 5 boroughs
Okay, I just picked up the new Beastie Boys album, To The 5 Boroughs, during my almost weekly trip to Best Buy. It’s been waaaay too long since the boys released something, and this is something. I’m about halfway through the disc, and I’ve yet to feel the urge to skip ahead, which is a…
Graphic Designers and Supposed Graphic Designers
I was reading a few essays at Speak Up, a graphic design community/publication, when I came across this essay (which was also published, in part, in inForm, AIGA Chicago’s Journal of Design), Is that a Graphic Designer with your Client, or are you just Happy to See me?

Also hidden in this update are “other minor updates.” Reading this in Software Update today concerned me, as…
Why I use a Mac: Reason #1
So I bought a new hard drive the other day (a 250GB Maxtor drive for 130 bucks! Thank you CompUSA), and I decided to put it in my Firewire 800 external case, which had previously housed my 120GB external drive (I’d throw it in my G5, but that requires SATA drives…). With both drives in…
Digital Convergence
The Following was written in Autumn 2003 Let’s get something clear straight away: I am a technophile. I always have and always will love technology and little gadgets. The newest and coolest electronics were always on my list to Santa as a child. Needless to say, I was a very expensive child to shop for.…
My Sleeping Issues
So, is it working that keeps me up late, or is it being up late that keeps me working? Yes, it is quarter to 4am, and I’ve finished up my mods to TalkTalk. Works pretty well over here, and hopefully it’s working on other browsers (it should… I’m using my pre-tested CSS and xhtml, and…
I am a code monkey
Still in the middle of being a code whore. Needed to try out some extra sections to see how they show up. These first few entries are a real snore, I know… but stuff it… I need to do them.
