    RSS readers: Time Constructive or Time Destructive?

    Today’s post comes to you after I have nuked Digg out of my RSS reader at work. Not that Digg is bad, it’s really not. But, I think RSS readers if not managed might end up filling the niche of the online DVR if you would.

    With TV – you watch it when [...]

    Honeymoon awesomeness with Dreamhost.

    I am sure that there could possibly be “technically” superior hosters than Dreamhos. But I haven’t found many companies (at least hosting wise) that made me go “Oh yeah, I want to give these people my money”.

    Perhaps it’s because I’m sarcastically witty by nature, but I was drawn to them for a couple [...]

    WordPress 2.6 ate my homework categories.

    So, somehow my categories plugin va-poo-rized when I upgraded to WP 2.6. The layout is really nice though, so I’m not too mad. Also – to prove that I’m ACTUALLY listening to a letter a week – check the updated widgets to the right (from Last.fm and myself). Still working on the second [...]

    Dr. Horrible

    OK, so I thought that my friends were on crack when they told me to go to the Dr. Horrible website. Fearing stumbling across some sick and twisted website, I discovered, well, a sick and twisted website.

    Neil Patrick Harris (Dr. Horrible) has a video blog of how he’s trying to get into the [...]

    Back on the air

    Well, my migration to total choice hosting was [...]

    ReCaptcha

    OK, so I have Akismet spam enabled. But I still get a few spamalots that sneak into the production blog and also into moderation causing me to have to click on emails that say “new comment waiting for moderation: Ultra Premium Viagra source!?!? Why you wait”. Or “New comment waiting for moderation: Hi, I’m [...]

    WP 2.0 Upgrade successful

    Wow, I’m really sad that I waited so long to upgrade to WP2. This new software is way slick. At first glance my favorite uprades to the software are:

    A REAL post preview, including header, images, etc
    Wordprocessor like editing features
    a right-hand sidebar that gives the ability to do neat things like add a category on [...]

    testing from my crackberry

    interesting if this works. I am testing a plugin for my BB that allows me to blog from it. Novel, but probably a waste [...]

    For all the photoshoppers out there: Texture Warehouse

    Oh my gosh, these are great photoshop fodder! And they’re free under the [...]

    Microsoft’s “Code Named Acrylic”

    Well, I found an interesting download from Microsoft, called “Code Named Acrylic“( and yes, it’s called “Code Named Acrylic”, kind of a silly beta name, but whatever).

    From the help file we get a description of what it is:

    Welcome to the Microsoft Acrylic August 2005 Community Technology Preview!

    Acrylic is a professional tool for creative professionals [...]

    Web 2.0 – Get on board because you have to…

    So, how often do you think back of the good ‘ol days of the net longing for cool static pages and neat but hard to change messages? Are you mad that you have to deal with grumpy and opinionated “bloggers” and “non-flashing-epilepsy-fit-preventing google ad words”? Well, go read this article here.

    Basically the “future of [...]

    Spell with Flickr

    Ever wanted to have a photo montage in funky letters from opensource photographs on the internet?

    Me either, but apparently someone thought “Hey, I want a photo montoge with funky letters from opensource flickr photographs, so I will create this website here“.

    May I present unto you, a flickr bandwidth killing [...]
