Upgrade

Forgive my appearance, I’m in the middle of a Wordpress upgrade. The upgrade itself went (fairly) smooth, but my old theme did not transfer well.
UPDATE: That’s about as good as it’s gonna get for tonight. I’m not sold on the theme, but at least it’s not broken! Maybe a little more tweaks and I’ll [...]

Best Post Ever

WHY is this the best post ever? Because it’s being written on my new MacBook. You all know how I love gadgets and toys and geeky, techy stuff and this just tops them all. From the packaging to the glossy widescreen. The perfect little keys on the keyboard to the monster processor. It’s so much [...]

The Blender Won

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have sad news. After the infamous blender accident of 2006, I’ve known every day with my lil iBook was a gift, and several days ago, that gift stopped giving.
Truth be told, it hasn’t been the same since the incident. Sometimes sluggish, clicking or beeping, and finally unable to boot up at [...]

Wiiiiiiiiiii

Jef and I got a Wii this week and talk about addicting. I played baseball for like 45 minutes the other night and I don’t even like the sport! I think my favorites from the “sports” disc are golf and bowling. The Wii controller is motion sensitive, so you just swing it like you would [...]

I laughed. My loss, his gain. (or something like that)
Connections like that can be creepy, but after [...]

To Podcast or Not to Podcast

I got into a heated discussion w/ Jef the other day about the difference between “audio MP3 downloads” and “podcasting.” Until then I had no idea there was even a difference. I’m pretty sure most people offering them and the people listening to them don’t either.
I don’t know if it’s better to educate or [...]

Pandora

I have a new music obsession called Pandora, it’s an internet radio of sorts. I thought I’d share it w/ you while it lasts, because my attention span is like 45 seconds long. There are several things that make it cool.
1. It’s free. Good start.
2. The music is based [...]

Reason 8,432,679

Reason 8,432,679 why I love Flickr? Their site was down last night because “their tubes were clogged.” They communicated the outage very quickly and honestly on their blog, and instead of a boring “we’re sorry” message, they posted a coloring contest and gave ppl the opportunity to win a free Pro account if [...]
