whatever grabs my attention
Over the past year, I’ve cut way back on my plethora of wacky domains used on long-lost web projects. I’ve let loads of domains go and only updated the few I still use or need. As a result, most projects have been lost to the ether but there’s a good enough record of them in …

A bunch of readers have reported various bugs to me over the past couple months since I switched over to Typepad for this blog's host. I used to have numerous RSS feeds from various systems at a bunch of different URLs. Since I used to host the site myself, I could redirect them all to …
I’ve been meaning to redesign this site for a while, to set aside more screen space for writing, both to make it easier to read longer pieces for readers but also to help me focus more on just plain old writing instead of all the other junk I used to keep here. As I sat …
I’m playing with a new design for this site. My old site was basically a “temple of ego” that covered just about everything I was doing online and when I stripped it all away to start over, I knew eventually I wanted to bring back a bit of the clutter. I just started working on …
I just posted a review of my Sony Ericcson s700i cameraphone that I love to death. It’s the first new feature I’ve written in months, but expect to see another one in a few days. I’m suddenly feeling like writing again.

You could probably do the same today fairly easily with RSS and a bit of hacking. So anyway, …
A few friends started posting all their daily links to their blog like I’ve been doing for the past few months, and when I see their sites pop up into my blo.gs sidebar or my bloglines account, I get all excited that they wrote something, but then there’s a bit of a let down when …
I was looking at an old blog entry here when I was surprised to find my first trackback spam. Free asian rape beastiality being offered directly from an old post! Then I dug around and sure enough, there were over 200 spammy trackbacks sent from January 5th through the 20th. What’s funny about it is …
Man, I didn’t know that my little late night blurb written mostly to myself would spark such a reaction. I guess I woke a sleeping giant or something. Dave is annoyed, Tom blames it on tools, and Andre wants more flexibility. The funniest thing is I kind of called for this to grow last summer, …
