Well… I’m avoiding work. I had an urge to compile pictures from my Facebook friends, so I did because, clearly, that’s not work. And it’s certainly not productive. So… here it is. Click to Embiggen Ok… now maybe I should get to work.
Well, it didn’t take very long for people to start messing with me. I had winamp paused and was staring intently at my screen… very focused. This was a bad idea, because it was that moment that Ryne and Morgan chose to blast some Spice Girls through my speakers. The ensuing AIM conversation went something [...]
Ok, so while I was taking a break from doing real work, Michael showed me a Winamp plugin which exposes a winamp interface in the form of a webserver.

I’ve been evangelizing site syndication feeds (RSS, ATOM, etc..) lately because, honestly, there’s no better way to read blogs and an increasing number of news sources.

If, by chance, you HAVEN’T been reading Nicole’s Blog, you really need to start. She’s got a gift. I mean, do you remember when she guest posted? Despite him not having… er… rhythm, let me also say that Pete was the hot white stud in flannel that weekend. He had a flock of Asian girls following [...]
This post is dedicated to those of you who come here trying to find out what’s going on in my life but are frequently met with everything but that. I’m going to try to have more of these more often. If you don’t care… well, you ought to. Jerk. Sure the week is halfway over, but [...]
