Yes, I’ve been slack on the blogging front. Or so it would seem. Truth is I haven’t been posting much lately because I’ve been busily grinding away at a complete redesign, not only of the blog but of the front site as well. The revamp will include an upgrade to WordPress 1.5. I started the… Continue reading Coming Attractions

Pixel, Meet Dot
Dave Shea has written an excellent introduction to CMYK, mainly aimed at web designers used to creating for the RGB screen. It’s a handy overview of the CMYK color model and why your work doesn’t look the same on paper as it does on the monitor. Dave’s article offers some rules of thumb to follow… Continue reading Pixel, Meet Dot
Paper Paranoia
Identity theft is primarily a low-tech crime, as mentioned in this article via slashdot: More Identity Theft Offline Than Online. For those reluctant to RTFA, the story outlines the results of a government study on identity theft. 72% of the cases surveyed were offline thefts (traced back to a lost wallet, stolen mail, or plain… Continue reading Paper Paranoia
Being Sociable
I attended an impromptu WordPress meetup in San Francisco today. Others who showed up (listed in no particular order) were Matt Mullenweg, Nicole Lee, Om Malik, Marc Weidenbaum, Ryan King, Scott Beale, Chris Messina, and Glenda Whose Last Name I Didn’t Catch And I Didn’t Really Get To Talk To Because She Had To Leave… Continue reading Being Sociable

Posting pictures of one’s cat on the internet is so cliché. This will be my first and, alas, last indulgence. May eternity be rich with comfortable grocery bags.
Obligatory New Year Post
Ought Four is no more, Ought Five is alive. This is the time when everyone makes lists. I won’t be doing a year-in-review this time around, but here’s my list of pseudo-resolutions, a few things I intend to do in the near future, some of which I may even follow through with.

Obligatory Holiday Post
Seems like everyone is caught up in this whole holiday season thing. As for me, I’m sitting at the humbug table, pretty much devoid of Christmas Spirit. I just can’t get into it the way I used to.

Re-enforcing Rule #3

Allow me to explain why this is amusing: I’m a loyal user and supporter of Spamcop, a free spam blocklist and reporting service. When I get spam… Continue reading Re-enforcing Rule #3
