I’ve been a NetFlix customer for a very long time, practically from the beginning. It’s been a great value for me, and has allowed me to provide my share of the entertainment for movie nights.  I’ve had almost no problems with their service over the years; only a couple of discs have arrived too scratched […]

The long-awaited and much lauded Firefox 3 is set to launch on Tuesday, June 17, 2008.
To celebrate this, the folks at Spread Firefox! have declared that to be World Download Day. They’re going to shoot for the Guinness World Record for most software downloaded in a single 24-hour period.

I was surfing around randomly and I came upon the site ZombiePixel.net. The title of the site was enough to get me to check it out, and when I scrolled down, I found this:

addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dingir.org%2F2008%2F05%2F12%2Fthe-apotheosis-of-awesome-weaponry%2F’;
addthis_title = ‘The+Apotheosis+of+Awesome+Weaponry’;

One of the upsides of getting older is not being able to remember if I saw something before, so it’s just as funny when I come across it again. Take this, for example:

Goto to Google
Enter Find Chuck Norris
Click “I’m Feeling Lucky”

addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dingir.org%2F2008%2F04%2F18%2Fdont-go-searching-for-pain%2F’;

… not with a bang, but a Twitter.
A while back I posted about nanofiction as a new use for the emerging social media. I gave a couple of examples of the way authors were using Twitter in this manner.
Today code shaman Chris Miller posted a collaborative endeavor he and a few other Twitter users […]

Yesterday, I went down to exchange Christmas presents with Jessika and Dustin. They gave me a really awesome aluminum and rubber chainmail dice bag from The Chainmaille Wench. It’s large enough to hold some seventy d20, which would make it a frightening weapon. I gave their daughter Logan her very own plush […]

Most of the time, I am all about the technology. I love new gadgets and I go into serious withdrawal when disconnected from the internet. I made the transition to digital music as fast as I could afford it, and I couldn’t live without my iPod now. I quit using a land […]

Ever sit back and think about what music would go best with a book you’re reading? Recently, podcast novelist J. C. Hutchins asked his fans on twitter to help him figure out what songs worked best with his 7th Son Trilogy. Several suggestions (including a couple from yours truly) and some iTunes magic […]

I get bored easily.
Always have, really. If I’m someplace where I have to sit and wait for a while, I start to get twitchy and fidgety. I fiddle with stuff around me. Sometimes I have to get up and pace. This is exacerbated by my tendency to arrive early to all […]

Everyone sing along now (at least everyone who’s my age and remembers that episode of The Brady Bunch).
This weekend I wandered over to Jessica’s place to help her get her new blog set up. She wanted to run it under Wordpress, and since I’ve done a couple Wordpress installs, I was happy to give […]
