Uncomplimentary Spam
As is usual, I’ve been getting a trickle of spam comments most days. But this latest wave is a tad bizarre. It caught me off guard at first because they were generally short comments that almost made sense. Things along the lines “nice site” or “I’ll have to bookmark you” or even “I disagree,” but [...]
Mr. Sun
Everybody say hello to Mr. Sun – the latest addition to my regular reads. Mr. Sun puts together some pithy, yet thoroughly entertaining, observations about the world he shines down upon (and its crazed inhabitants):
Dante Chialvo, a physiologist at Northwestern University, says your brain is like the Internet. I know mine is — it contains [...]
Meeting etiquette
Here’s a little hint for you guys. When in a meeting – especially one involving a conference call – don’t start reading webcomics to pass the time. Beause when you come across certain strips, it will be difficult not to inexplicably start laughing. About someone else’s pain. In front of your co-workers. And another company, [...]
The Hoohoo Monologues
Whoops, I forget whether women have hoohoos or hahas… Not that I’m confused about the parts, mind you, just the nicknames. Anywho, that’s not the point. Tomorrow night my friend Sandy will be performing in “The Vagina Monologues”:

Images served right
I’ve been looking for a good photo plugin for WordPress. What I really wanted was a simple way to generate thumbnails for posts, but link a popup window for the full-sized image. This weekend I stumbled across David Seah’s Lazy Image Layout which appears to give me exactly what I need.

Great Googily Moogily
Holy crap, what happened to my webpage? Did I finally get off my ass and do a redesign? Well, sort of. I got sick of the default look to the point that something needed to change. And since I wasn’t likely to change my taste to accept such monotony, I decided to start editing. As [...]
Oh joy
I can’t remember the last time 1 minute of video made me so giddy.
The mind is a terrible thing

Words fail me… I cannot believe someone did this…
