Now I Get It…
Ok, ok, thanks to this explanation about the war from a Warmonger to a Peacenik, now I finally get the war. Wow, I didn’t realize it was all that plain and simple. [via Jay. War gives him a headache too.]
By the way – can someone, anyone, point me to the official statement [...]
GZip, Not Just for Websites Anymore…
Just last week I mentioned using GZip to compress my website. Now it seems that scientist are asking File Compression: New Tool for Life Detection? “As a measure of overall pattern complexity, they find that the inherent pixel content of biologically generated fossils produces higher image compression ratios [more data redundancy], compared to [...]
Daily Promise…
I realized last night while editing some photos for Pixelog that if I added one a day for the next month, I would still have a ton left over. That’s when it hit me … I must add at least one new photo daily. Must. Do. It. So I’m making [...]
The Right Question…
Derek asked me during SXSW why I had never shared a story at Fray. I said I didn’t know. He said, “I guess we just haven’t asked the right question.” You know what? He was right. But he has now with Bookends. My answer is already on the site.
Public Service Announcement…
In case you didn’t know, Faith has moved. She’s no longer Undisturbed (and I still like to thing of her as Ctrl-Alt-Ego), but now she is Oxymoronic: just like the name says. Enjoy!
Pre-Evercrack – Back in the Day…
Remember back in the days before Evercrack? When D&D was the rage, our moms were worried that we were getting sucked in to a Satanic world? Well, my Mom didn’t worry because I didn’t play D&D, but I knew other kids who did. Now you can remember those days with 8 Bit [...]
Guest Bloggers…
Need some amusement these days? Head on over to Saddam’s Cyber Palace – Saddam Hussein’s Blogspot site! If that’s not enough for you, you can always visit Bob from Accounting. [via Faith]
Off to EJ and Sherry’s wedding shower! Fun and good times for all!
The Race to 1000…
We are getting close to the 1,000th picture mark at Picture Yourself … have you submitted yours lately? I saw a lot of people snappy PY-style photos in the past month – share them! Send them in!
It’s Birthday Time!
Busy day ahead, but I just had to take a moment to give a Happy Birthday shout-out to one of my personal long-time favorite people, PromoGuy! Promo & I have known each other for what seems like forever and he has always been a wonderful friend. Plus he’s a gadget junkie too, and [...]
Make Your Site Go ZOOOOM!
Remember when I said that PhotoMatt implemented voodoo code on my site to make it faster? Did you notice how much faster it loads? (Unless you use Safari. Sorry.) Well, if you want to make your site load faster too, Matt wrote a GREAT tutorial that I just posted over on [...]
Feed Me! Feed Me!
I’ve begged everyone to do it before, but here’s a second request. Please … pretty please … update your RSS feed to include your full blog posts. (Need more details? Read this.) Then – whether you update or not – leave me the address for your feed so I can add [...]
Next, The World!
Nicole and I are going to run for office. Don’t you think it is a good idea? I mean, if the world isn’t a better place with us in power, at least it would be a lot more fun!
Plus she makes the coolest hats. Did I mention that she made me a [...]
It Passed…
Remember that resolution (H. Res. 153) that I talked about the other day? Well, it passed. I get enough humility, prayer and fasting with my own religion (the one I chose), thankyouverymuch. I don’t need the government telling me I need more.
By the way – speaking of fasting and religion – it’s [...]
Only Appropriate…
It’s been almost a month since one of my attorneys asked me if I had ever heard of a “blawg”, so I was amused to see my site listed on the Legal Web Site Directory: Sites of the Month list! Considering I am a paralegal, it’s somewhat fitting – even though this is the [...]
I’ve Got Stock?
Wow, I had no clue that I had stock available in my very own blog! Good thing Chris Pirillo offered to give his Blogshares away, or I would have never known!
We Interrupt This Program…
As you are probably aware, I went to SXSW earlier this month. (Photographic evidence is here.) What you may not know is the truth about my latest addiction. I have become addicted to having books signed by bloggers and blog-related people. There is a purpose to this post and a plea [...]
How to Feel…
Fortunately, our fearless leader speaks about Empathy in Our Time. And this press conference is truly amusing. [via John]
My day today included sentences like this: “not a single Texas Court has ruled, either in its holding or in dicta, explicitly or implicitly, …” followed by “not only does their position have no [...]
Whatever Happened To…
Whatever happened to separation of church and state? I’m sure I read about that somewhere in our Constitution the Bill of Rights, didn’t I? I start to wonder when I see that the House of Representatives have introduced a resolution “Recognizing the public need for fasting and prayer in order to secure the [...]
As Close To War-Blogging…
Last night while reading Electrolite, I realized something. I’m still sitting on the fence about this war thing. I enjoy poking fun at the stupid things they say on the news, because “shock and awe” sounds lame. Mike can tell you, I have a tendency to yell at the TV a lot [...]
If You Have Nothing Good to Say…
I started the day off in a funk and never pulled out of it. I seem to be annoyed by almost everything I encounter, which I am sure makes me a joy to be around. I want to rant about the war and how stupid the news anchors sound as they talk about [...]
