A Blog in Miniature

03-Apr-08

As you may have noticed, in the last week or so my blog has come back from near rigor-mortis to being chock full of super-short posts. To put it simply, I’ve been inspired by some web 2.0 goodness, and it feels great!
It all started when I signed up for a Twitter account. I discovered pretty [...]

Goodbye, Weekend / Have Some Music Videos

21-Jan-08

I spent most of this weekend a) trying to keep theleetworld.com from melting after the site made it to the front page of digg (and a bunch of other huge sites) and b) looking at places to live.
For right now, the site seems to have stopped melting, and as for places to live, Tim and [...]

Making Web Design Fun Again

03-Feb-07

You know, back in the day, I thoroughly enjoyed web design and coding. But then along came a job that sucked all of the fun out of the whole process and ruined it completely for me. I don’t work for them anymore - it’s been more than two years now - but whenever I’ve been [...]

A Blogging Software Revolution!

09-Dec-06

My “constant readers” have probably noticed that I keep changing the look-and-feel of this blog about once every two weeks. It’s mostly because I get tired of looking at the same theme all the time, and there are plenty of free themes out there to choose from. A bigger change has happened this time, however, [...]

i am internet hip now

29-Sep-05

I contributed to a “boingboing”:http://boingboing.net post! I feel validated by the internet. “Check it out”:http://www.boingboing.net/2005/09/28/harvey_dangers_new_a.html!
Remember that band Harvey Danger? They’ve released their new album in MP3 format, for free, on the internet, using BitTorrent, working on the principle that this is actually a good way to promote your album, especially if you’re a little indie [...]

sharks patrol these waters

09-Sep-05

So I’ve been playing with the new “Stylecatcher plugin”:http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/docs/powertools that comes with MT 3.2 - the original 1.0 version didn’t work, but they’ve since released a bugfix version and it works just fine, although all of the themes seem to need a few CSS tweaks so that the content centers. Not exactly stellar, in my [...]

I’ve found some excellent new music lately… in particular, i’ve been getting into My Morning Jacket.

I also just updated “Movable Type”:http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ to 3.2. It’s got some [...]

from ace-host to dreamhost

21-Jun-05

so, unbeknownst to me, monday (6/20) was the one-year renewal of my account with “ace-host”:http://ace-host.net. i only found out about this because a charge for $167.40 suddenly showed up on my back statement without warning. luckily, i caught it the day it happened, so i was able to move quickly enough and fix the situation.
first [...]

er, right…

18-Apr-05

so for some reason, somebody out there thought that my “entry on scientology”:http://unsquare.com/dance/archives/2005/01/stupid_scientologists.html was authoritative enough to link to from two separate “wikipedia”:http://en.wikipedia.org entries. i know this because i looked in my webstats and i received traffic from those pages. this just seems kind of silly to me, because my entry wasn’t particularly useful, and [...]
