Byte-sized collusions

Atlas Shrugged

Background – In high school, I had lots of people I considered good friends who more or less vanished after graduation. Thanks to the arrival of Myspace, I somehow got back in touch with a few people I missed from…

Grumblings at the plant

Atlas Shrugged

I’ve been thinking of changing my theme recently as I’ve noticed it a) takes a long time to load on certain computers b) doesn’t load at all on some computers c) nobody has realized that the ‘options’ tab lets you…

Road tripping

Surfing is the only life

So I’ve been planning a cross-country trip since October. I have about a dozen people in the Northeast United States that I want to see again before everyone decides they have ‘lives’ and moves all around the world. Here is…

The tooth is out there

Surfing is the only life

28. I’ve counted my teeth four times now and I keep ending up with 28.  That’s weird.  I could have sworn I counted 32 when the week started.  What happened to the other four teeth? Furthermore, why are my cheeks…

Wow, that’s like, so friggin’ hilarious

Surfing is the only life

At last, the rotating carnival of witticisms and whimsy has come to another temporary station. Here now, the “Wow, That’s Funny” Carnival competition for comedic genius requires your help. We’ve got several very good witticisms today, and I look forward…

Measuring love

XOXOXO

And I don’t mean ‘measuring love’ in a naughty way. I don’t have a tape measure handy, anyway. As you might recall from my 2007 post, I am trying to hug 150 different people this year. January is almost over…

Culture skirmishes

XOXOXO

I witnessed my best friend break up with his three-year fiancée yesterday. She cried for hours while he was there then called him crying. Twice. At five in the morning. This is the story, as short as I can tell…

Back to school

XOXOXO

Tomorrow is a full day.  Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign and Typography followed by five hours of work then Macromedia Flash. Boy, Uni is so much more fun once you’ve graduated and only have to worry about being found out that…

Free books, OMFG!

I’ve been teaching myself HTML (and XHTML and CSS) for a few days now, only I accidentally lost the book I’m using to teach myself. Then, today, I went to the library and they had a free HTML book available…

Moof is such a doll

I mailed Moofruot a $1 Family Dollar doll. I know it’s been a year since she mailed me a sock, but it’s been a busy year. Besides, I thought about what to send her for so long that nothing seemed…

A new record

It is the first Saturday of the year and I’ve already bent or broken half of my resolutions. Also, I’m sick and this Web site isn’t helping.

Unsock

It costs 63 cents an ounce to ship to Canada and Mexico from the United States and 84 cents an ounce to ship anywhere else. So my overzealous $2.40 of shipping went to waste.

2007

I do 18 resolutions every year. I find making tangible, possible resolutions helps me focus. It also makes it more likely I’ll accomplish at least one of my resolutions. Last year, I accomplished half of my resolutions. This year, I’m…

remember when. . . in 2006

It’s one thing to accomplish what you set out to do (even if you’re only accomplishing 50 percent), it’s quite another thing to have a good time doing it. This year had the highest of the highs, the lowest of…

2006 Redux

It’s a bit early to do my year-end recap for my New Year’s Resolutions, but I doubt I’ll have a chance on the 31st and doubt I’m going to do any last life goals in the next week, so please…
