It took me longer than it should have (and I’m 90% done), but I’m very cognizant of why it took as long as it did (I’d rather eat nachos with buddies on a Saturday night than not). It’s really a matter of physics. If you burn more calories than you ingest, your body will lose [...]
This has been a long time coming. I’ve wanted to change my name for a long time. I never liked my original name. I pride myself on being as independent as possible, and yet one of the most important links to me was something I had not gotten to choose. It was one of the [...]
I bought a one-way refundable ticket from NYC to Toronto. 7 days before the flight I went through their AA Refunds website. It told me there was no information on my ticket, and thus it could only “watch” and let me know when an update came. Checking every 24 hours, 3 days later a “Manual [...]
Just did a search on ol’ Google for ‘wordpress themes’ – and one of the ads on the right was for http://wordpress.org/hosting/ downloads the opportunists movies A little odd.
And I’m off to Argentina today. I’ll be back in the US mid-August, and will move to NYC end of August. If you’ve emailed me and haven’t gotten a reply – I’m sorry, trying to burn some midnight oil to get everyone taken care. Time to go broaden my horizons … Spanish and Tango, here [...]

Heading on over to the nearest fastfood joint, I opted to park and go inside instead of going through the ridiculously long drive-through. When I got out I looked at the line and realized [...]
A while ago the Flicker.com for sale story made the rounds. It was a simple site – stating what had been offered, and their status (all rejected). If you read the comments, I mention Sahar owns the domain – and he commented denying any ownership. It now redirects to a site called Assista. A kind [...]
So a while ago, I bought a Vudu. It is like an Apple TV – connect it to the internet, hook it up to your TV, and buy/rent movies through the system. Yesterday, while attempting to watch I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead, the thing died. Or it didn’t die per se – it would play [...]
I’ve argued for a long time that having anonymous contributions is a good thing – even with the increase in spam, there is enough legitimate content to make it worthwhile. Plus – once a user has contributed, they are more likely to register and contribute even more. A recent blog post by Topix validates my [...]
