  • WordPress 3.0 Released: Lots of Work for Me

    Well, now that WordPress 3.0 is out, I have a lot of work to do. Various clients running on WordPress that want me to upgrade their installs, and then upgrading my own installations (maybe another good kick in the butt to completely transition to WordPress.com?). In the end, I’ll probably spend four hours upgrading installations,… Read more

  • Got My New Glasses

    Read the previous post first: Ordered Glasses Online. I was worried about ordering glasses online, but I really enjoy shopping online. If companies can perfect virtual dressing rooms and better images and video of products, I’d probably order a lot more stuff online. The company I ordered my glasses from is Clearly Contacts. I did… Read more

  • Warhammer 40k MMO: Dark Millennium Online

    I wrote a quick article about an upcoming Warhammer 40k MMO and attached a video to it on Nomadic Gamer. I am not sure if it shows any promise yet, but my interest is piqued. Read more

  • Green Burial

    I think the following is a good example of how I’d like to be disposed of when I’m dead. I have to admit though, I still think its a lot of money to be spent on a dead person. I’ve never had a strong belief that the treatment of the dead body matters. If there… Read more

  • Too Much Living Space

    Even my apartment is too big for me. I don’t even use the bedroom that I have in my one bedroom apartment. Currently, it stores a few odds and ends that I have, including an old mattress that I need to eventually get rid of. I have my bed in the living room, next to… Read more

  • Computer Illiterate People

    Why are so many people that know little to nothing about computers allowed to be in charge of decisions relating to computers and technology? I can somewhat understand trying to make website decisions without knowing anything about web development, but people should at least know the basics of computers before being allowed to make company/corporate… Read more

  • Whistling

    I really don’t like when people whistle. It really irks me. I don’t know why, but it does. Whistling to music, to call their dog or kids, and just whistling for the fun of whistling, all make me a bit aggravated. I had to shut my office door at work. No doubt people think I… Read more

  • What I Want to Be Doing

    If it was up to me, right now, I’d be selling off everything that didn’t fit in a backpack and travelling. I would go across the country, into the USA, and maybe even overseas. I would attend various inexpensive conferences like Podcamps, WordCamps, and the like. I’d work from WiFi at youth hostels, or via… Read more

  • User Activity Article

    Increase Your User Activity with Points, Badges and Status via Six Revisions Game mechanics is a piece of the website engagement puzzle, providing an incentive to become an active participant when there is no direct, tangible benefit for doing so. Interesting article that I keep reading over and over. Read more

  • Xbox 360 Slim

    The new Xbox 360 announced today at E3 2010 looks amazing. Smaller form factor, nice lines, shiny black finish and that’s just on the outside. Inside it sports a 250GB hard drive, built-in WiFi, and a new CPU/GPU combo on a 45nm architecture (hopefully meaning that there will no longer be red rings of death).… Read more
