A full beard. + 110 degree heat. = No fun.
If everyone wasn’t so damn used to it, I’d have no problems shaving it all off. But alas, it’s one of those things that makes me who I am.
*shrug* C’est la vie.

I’m not sure how good this is, but it looks promising…

My, what a dead sexy WordPress plugin. It lets you edit your posts on the page instead of having to jump to the backend. I’ll have to look into implementing this.

So long as they don’t do this the weekend of my high school reunion, I’m so in!

CDs attached to fliers on a pole is actually a pretty neat idea for band promotion.

Woah! IGN has the first 24 minutes of “A Scanner Darkly”, which I saw over the weekend and loved. If you have a little time to kill it’s totally worth watching.

I’ve been using this the past couple days and I’ve been loving the simplicity of the interface compared to Bloglines. Unless I find a reason to hate it, I think I’ve got a new feed reader of choice.

What a clever little Mac Classic mod! Part of me wants to build a set of these, stat.

My inner Maker is saying, “You know, that’s a bit expensive for what ammounts to a couple strips of wood…” But frankly, I don’t think I can make something that looks as elegant as this.

My Twttr Ponies
Like any good internet beta whore, I just started using twttr. And while it’s pretty cool and rather promising, there are a few things that I really wish it had…
- For starters, a simple JavaScript based badge would be nice. While Flash is nice for some things, I really don’t think I need to load it to tell the world I’m having a beer or going on a walk. Also, it’d be nice if I didn’t have to recode my template to fit it in.
- RSS/Atom feeds wouldn’t hurt either. I know it’s supposed to be mobile phone based, but it really would be nice if I could give my feed out to folks instead of making them use twttr’s service to follow me around. Keeping track of my friends would be much less irritating too… ;)
- The ability to turn off “update sent” notices being sent to your phone. Yeah, I know I just sent an update. I appreciate that you want to let me know that my friends got my message and everything, but that’s really sort of unnecessary. Well, at least I think it is. *shrug*
I’m really not trying to be a curmudgeon, honest. I just think that this stuff would take twttr from being a novel application to something I actually use frequently.
P.S. Like, OMG! Add me!
P.P.S. According to Jack — who happens to be the dude behind twttr — ponies #1 and #2 are already being worked on. Hooray!
P.P.P.S. What’s more, pony #3 is a non issue. Apparently the “update sent” message only gets sent to your phone on your first message. Sweet! -

I Don’t Wanna, I Don’t Think So
I don’t know what’s worse — the fact that T-Mobile offers Sonic Youth’s “Kool Thing” as a ringtone or the fact that I’m actually considering purchasing it.

A cooking show for freegans — folks who find their food in the dumpster. *shrug* It’s an interesting concept…

War… What Is It Good For?
Taking a Nerf dart straight to the eye and having it suction on is no fun whatsoever.
Despite apologizing profusely, the coworker who did it to me will pay dearly…
P.S. Don’t worry, I’m not blind or anything. Things are just sort of blurry out of my left eye.
P.P.S. Actually, my vision’s cleared right up. My eye still feels sort of meh, but I’m sure that’ll go away too.
