A Special Easter Message
I couldn’t resist. This was on the way back from my job, and I had to pull over and take a picture of it.

I’m nearly rich. Plus, more site changes.
As of this moment, my portfolio is worth a whopping $1419.81!!! That’s up a staggering 41.981% from when I started! It can only get better when Mark starts peddling my ass on the corner.

Close call (or, You’ve Got… Nothing)
Our Internet connection was down at work this morning for about 2 hours when I came in, and I felt like I was suffocating. Maybe it’s because I’m so reliant on the Net for work-and-entertainment-related info that I really don’t have anything to do here when it’s not working.
Anyway, it’s back up again now, [...]

Site Tweaks
Couple of minor changes to the site.
As further proof of my slavish devotion to keeping track of my BlogShares status, I’ve put a “BlogShares” item in the side navigation, which pulls data from the BlogShares site using David Reynes’s nifty MTBlogShares plugin. Right now it’s showing my weblog’s current value, P/E ratio, and my [...]

Matt sells his virtual soul.
I’ve been too busy to really be paying a ton of attention to it, but this whole BlogShares thing has taken off faster than an oversized Cheeto. Basically your weblog is valued based on who you link to, who links to you, and how well-linked all those people are. Just for fun I [...]

What’s happening, hot stuff?
I’ve been un-slashdotted! Oops. I saw too late that SharpReader allows you to set different refresh times for different feeds. So, I’ve got them down to “Daily” until I get restored.
Comprehensive CSS support charts. Hotness.
I’m starting to learn a little bit about using unmanaged COM dlls in ASP.NET. Looks fairly [...]

Information Overload
My adventures with SharpReader continue. First off, my sister has created a LiveJournal feed out of my own site’s RSS feed. It almost looks like I have an LJ(LiveJournal) account and everything.
I’ve added a few more feeds of interest, and now I feel like I’m in control of a huge flow of information. [...]

RSSexy
After seeing everyone gushing about SharpReader I thought I should give it a go. It is extremely suave; I read a bunch of different news sites and blogs during the day, and now I don’t have to open up a bunch of different web pages to see who’s updated; it’s all just [...]

Open up and say “ow!”
Went with a large group of peeps on Friday night to try out a new sushi place, Nagoya, which is near Fox Chapel. The food was actually quite good, and very reasonably priced, but by far the highlight of the evening was watching JR eat two very large blobs of wasabi, straight up.
Here’s a [...]
