Slashdot now being run by Micro$entric non-loser!
That’s right… last night I completed my hostile takeover of Slashdot on BlogShares. I really grew bored with the game a few months back, but the introduction of the artifacts has been an interesting twist. So my plan is to hold onto the shares as long as I can, and then run up the value [...]

New weblog to add to SharpReader
Looks like my homeslice Joshua has his weblog up and running. The thing that was extra-interesting to me was the link to Edith Frost weblog. Here she is, a fairly big name recording artist, keeping up a weblog writing about geeky stuff like browsers, the same as the rest of us. I just love that [...]

Lovely Weekend
All kinds of neat stuff, as you can probably see from my moblog. Went on some hikes, met my Dad’s neighbor’s Savannah cats, got my ass beat down in racquetball, went drinking with Ryan, and took my grandmother shopping. You really can’t ask for a better weekend.

Dick Cheese
If you happened to notice the music I’ve been listening to recently, you’ll see that I’ve gone through most of the “Richard Cheese” ouvre. There’s just something so delicious about hearing lounge versions of Nirvana’s “Rape Me” and Fatboy Slim’s “Rockefeller Skank”. All this lounge-y goodness has put me in a mood, and I’ve currently [...]

Scotty! I’ve. got. to. have. more. power.
One of the fun side benefits of all this rain we’ve been getting this week (as opposed to all the rain we were getting every other week) is that now the power has decided to randomly cut out at least 5 times a day. I can’t even tell you how fun it is to be [...]

Idiocy (or, how not to get a job)
Ryan has worked as a recruiter for much of his professional life. So, he’s seen a lot of resumes. He’s also seen a lot of resumes written by people wearing bad idea jeans. A few weeks ago he sent me a resume in Word doc format that had “sparkly” text. Like blinking and shimmering sort [...]

I’ve got a phonecam, and I’m not afraid to use it.
If you haven’t noticed the low-res image in the sidebar, I caved and got myself a camera-equipped cellphone over the weekend. I’ve already set up a moblog on TextAmerica. I can send a picture as a message from my phone to a special email address, and it automatically gets posted to the site. They were [...]

Would you like sex with that?
I swear the girl at the Wendy’s drive-thru tried to pick me up last night. Usually I’m pretty clueless about that sort of thing, and someone usually needs to tell me when I’m getting hit on (I guess since it’s such a rare occurrence). Anyway, after I pay I pull up to the pickup window, [...]

Bleh
Really nothing exciting going on, hence the lack o’ updates. Got my car’s 30K service done yesterday, and need to go back in a few weeks to get my brakes done… sort of suprising that my pads would be that worn down so soon, especially since I don’t ride my brakes or even really brake [...]
