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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
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 [...]
Even though I use Twitter, I can appreciate mocking it.
With a tip of a hat to jwz, in response to reading Dr. Horrible’s twitter feed, Dave said

And one should not forgot [...]

While I was in AZ for work last week I once again got to stop by the Draco Vista studios. This time it was for a recording of Wingin’ It 3D. I had met Mike and Lorrie before, who are awesome people, but I also got to meet the awesomeness of Debbie, Eliza, [...]
You know, I shouldn’t be shocked by this anymore, but I still am. I love the niche markets that some spammers go after.
Subject: I know what ladies do on a farm. DO NOT leave them there unattended!
Do not leave your spouse on a farm unattended. She may replace you with animals and you will [...]
One of the neat features of Wordpress 2.5 is the click to install plugin upgrades, assuming the plugin is registered in the Wordpress Plugin Directory. If certain conditions are correct on the server it can do it in place, otherwise it tries to do it via FTP.
