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…
Blast it all
A little while ago, I posted some thoughts on the new CodeSeven album, Dancing Echoes / Dead Sounds. It would be an understatement to say that I like the album. Well, I promised a good review of it in my role at NowOnTour, but then something happened. I’ve been listening to a copy of the…
Sick of Politics
Let me say that, regardless of how this election turned out, I am just glad the damn thing is over. No more political leaflets choking my mailbox, no more “friends of the other guy” muckraking political ads, no more gigantic cardboard signs telling me to vote for Corroon. Most everyone I voted for lost (at…
