When I fired up my laptop at the baseball game tonight, everyone laughed. Yet they were pretty keen to check it out, and seemed rather impressed that I was online and able to make a blog post. Most of the group gathered around to gawk and ooh and ahh at the sheer dorky coolness of… Continue reading Ubergeekery, Continued

Ubergeekery
Yep, I’m blogging from SBC Park via free WiFi and a laptop. My co-workers are making fun of me, and rightly so. I just get a kick out of mobile connectivity, sue me. I honestly couldn’t care less about baseball. It’s one of the most tediously boring professional sports imaginable. Even car racing is slightly… Continue reading Ubergeekery
Oh, See
I spent a long weekend (Fri–Tue) hanging with Jolene in her new digs in Orange County. It’s about a 6 hour drive on Interstate 5 from the East Bay to Los Angeles, then another hour or so on to Orange County. That is of course assuming light traffic, which I learned the hard way is… Continue reading Oh, See
The Future of g.fc
Every live website is perpetually under construction. That’s just the nature of the medium. I have some ideas for enhancements and changes to my own site, some of which I may even get around to in the near future. Many of them can be accomplished through integrating various WordPress plugins, so it’s just a case… Continue reading The Future of g.fc
Up for Review
The always-insightful D. Keith Robinson has sparked another interesting round of discussion with his two recent posts, attempting to pin down just what factors make a weblog worth reading. I, being a whiney lonely little nobody, lamented my lack of readership. But it wasn’t just whining, really, I swear. There’s a point to it. My… Continue reading Up for Review
Looking the Part
I’m a geek, no denying it. I proudly proclaim it in fact. I make websites, I play video games, I read comics and science fiction. I have a blog. I can recall pointless minutae from cartoons I watched in the fifth grade but I can’t remember who won the Superbowl just a few months ago.… Continue reading Looking the Part
The Tweaking Continues
Well I finally got the archive page looking a bit more presentable, though eventually I’ll need to organize it better. Right now it’s just a massive list of all posts, but eventually I intend to hack something together to break it into three- or six-month chunks. When I launched not too long ago I had… Continue reading The Tweaking Continues
Rosebud is the Sled: The Fine Art of the Spoiler
I saw Spider-Man 2 over the holiday weekend. Upon returning to work Tuesday, still a bit buzzed from the rush of such a kickass movie, I was eager to discuss it with someone else. Alas, it seems I’m the only one in the office who had seen it. So my eagerness to discuss it became… Continue reading Rosebud is the Sled: The Fine Art of the Spoiler
Venereal Marketing
Well I’ve had my Gmail account for a few weeks and the novelty has worn off. I no longer feel special or elite, especially since Google started flooding the market with invites (I got 12 in my first week… all gone, don’t ask). Of course now they’ve apparently shut off the tap so the masses… Continue reading Venereal Marketing
The Essential (Software) Mix
As mentioned previously, I reformatted my laptop recently and installed a fresh virginal Windows XP. Then began the task of reinstalling all the of software I need. Here’s my list of essentials (some are obvious no-brainers, I’m just including them here for completeness). Photoshop Illustrator HomeSite – my favorite text editor. Dreamweaver – I find… Continue reading The Essential (Software) Mix
