Truth in comics

I love xkcd and its geeky geeky ways.  It often captures things I’ve lived and/or seen.  Today’s is one I have lived and seen lived.

This reminds me of a post on usenet my friend Anne made in 1998.  To quote:
So I am left not bitter just tired of this whole meeting people, emotional ties, finding [...]

Wordpress for iPhone

I noticed that the Wordpress for iPhone native blogging app appeared in the iTunes store last night. This is me giving it a try.
I don’t think i’ll bang out long posts this way, but you might see lots of smallish stuff since it’ll be so easy to add. Especially some on the fly [...]

Wow, I found the end of the internet

I just did a web search for the exact phrases “severe awesomeness watch” and “severe awesomeness warning.” In each case, google did not have a match for the quoted phrase.
I hearby claim those are my catch phrases!  Until I come up with something else new and lame.

MORTAL KOMBAT!!! vs. DC?

Thanks to Comic Book Resources, I just learned of the in-development game of Mortal Kombat vs. DC.  I have watched the trailer and a few other videos.  This is either going to be the best game ever (for a DC comics dorks like myself) or the worst thing created by man.  There is no middle [...]

Unnatural love

Behold the unnatural love between a gnome and a turtle.  Saw this in Walgreen and just had to take a picture.  Probably due to the influence of the Gnome meme happening on the Slice of SciFi voice mail show.

Now you have two problems… again

With a tip of a hat to jwz, in response to reading Dr. Horrible’s twitter feed, Dave said
Some people, when they are having site availability problems, think, ‘I know, I’ll put up status on twitter!’  Now they have two site availability problems.
And one should not forgot [...]

Behold my stacking powers…

Heather took this back in May with her Blackberry.  I keep forgetting to post it.

Traffic Jam

This is my 400th post, and I waste it talking about delay in getting to work.
In any case, the other day I was delayed in getting to work by a traffic jam on the river.  I thought taking the water taxi was to help me avoid this stuff.

Small fix for Wordpress XML-RPC

I had the idea that I might photo blog more if there was an easy way to get photos off my iPhone and into a blog post.  The easiest way would be to e-mail the photo someplace for WordPress to get it.  Unfortunately, most of the e-mail to blog post plugins (and the built-in stuff) [...]

Thank you, drive thru…

We got a couple Flip Video cameras in at work. We plan to use them to get some stuff for the web and various other things. One thing we’ll do sometime this week is write a review. That being said, Chris took one home to play with to get a feel for [...]
