So by now, everyone has heard of the iPhone 3GS. Yippee. Looks snazzy and has upgraded features. Since I’m still on my original spec iPhone (well, 16GB EDGE iPhone to be exact), it’ll most likely be my next phone upgrade. In fact, a lot of people want to upgrade to the 3GS. But there is…

Equality in commitment
A good friend of mine in California sent a group message via Facebook regarding today’s ruling on Proposition 8, the banning of same-sex marriage in that state. I just wanted to share a few thoughts on commitment to a person, and why we should not hinder its existence. While we here in WA don’t have…
Internationalisation
Some of you who’ve read anything I’ve written online—in a non-work-related context—have noticed my propensity toward spelling in a manner alien to American English palettes. I’ll get notes and tweets from people saying I used a U when spelling colour, or that a word is not spelled with an S–it’s a Z, damn you! Today,…
Trusera nominated for the SXSW People’s Choice

Birth
As I currently work on a minor new feature for the Trusera website, I’m reminded for the fourth or fifth time today that 12 November marks my one year Trusera “birthday.” It seems bizarre to realise that exactly one year ago, I was sitting—eyes wide, brain trickling out my ear—at the end of my first…
What were you doing when Obama won?
I guess the real question is this: What were you doing when you heard that Barack Obama was elected to become the 44th president of the United States? Here’s what Sabrina and I were doing: We went to Kidd Valley for a quick cheeseburger. We’d been following the results trickle in via the web for…
Plan for change
== [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONM7148cTyc&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00&border=1] == I encourage everyone to watch this. I’m paranoid constantly that my bank is about to fail (yes, I use WaMu), and watching and experiencing the hypocrisy and contempt shown by the major corporations and banks as they pay out millions to fired failure CEOs (Killinger, anyone?) and place the burden upon…
Enough distraction
==[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zAbeu3v3Wc&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00&border=1]== I’ve said it before–hell, this site has worn a button for the past year or more–but I’ll say it again: I’m very proudly voting for this man.
