For the past two days I’ve tried out LifeStream, an aggregator for your various feeds like Netflix, Twitter, etc. I like it. I’m going to keep it. It’ll be more “this is my life” than my blog has been in well over a year; I started making fewer posts, and the ones I made were [...]

I Might Owe Brent Spiner $100
So, earlier today, Brent Spiner was talking about auctioning off his 400th Tweet. Instead, he posted a Groucho Marx quote. Then: “You can never go wrong with a good Groucho line. But, I will be auctioning the 500th. Best offer I got-$10. Not nearly enough.” When I saw this, I posted: @brentspiner I’ll give you [...]
PageRank Resolved
Whew, I am never getting back into paid posts again. I used to have PR6 on my main site and it was very nice. But because of my affiliation with certain sites that pay for you to post things, I got a smackdown from Google and I went down to PR3. I’m now back to [...]
New Toy
I haven’t posted much lately, I have just been so busy with school! But I wanted to talk about my new gadget. I got a 32GB iPod Touch and it is so cool. I was thinking it might be a way to see if I wanted an iPhone, but now I see that there are [...]
My Newish Blackberry
So I’ve got the Blackberry back. It turns out the old one did not survive enough for data transfer; I tried hooking it up and the computer registered it as new hardware, but then the Desktop Manager refused to see it as connected. The latest backup I had was July 29th so I restored that [...]
Phone Run Over
FYI folks, I will not be accessible by mobile phone for a few days. My Blackberry Curve just got run over by a car. I was getting out of my car and I heard it fall but I didn’t see where it went. Spent 10 minutes looking all over. Then spotted it…in the middle of [...]
Skin Choice
Not that anybody should actually care, but I got the red skin. Only 5 people liked that, and 12 people preferred the pink one, but I couldn’t help it. I wanted elegant this time around. kdlb, gretchen_marie, serijules, and sunnydale47 all gave great reasons for choosing the pink one, and my wife preferred that one [...]
Outrageous $1 Charge
What in the flying monkey fuck is this?! This is from Taylor Gifts. Are they freaking insane?! I’m buying the Banana Saver through Amazon even though it’ll be 44 cents more, because that’s a ridiculous policy. Edit: My wife woke up to go to the bathroom and I told her about this outrageous charge. She [...]
Back in Second Life
I joined Second Life back in 2005 or so. For a while I didn’t have a computer that could do it at all so I only played at friends’ houses. Then I had a computer that could do it, but not well, so I got frustrated and gave up on it. Now I’m back, thanks [...]
Hello from Blackberry
I am making a real quick post from my new phone. To my amazement, AT&T actually came through with an unlock code – I thought for sure they wouldn’t. But they did! Unfortunately I had already given up on them and ordered another Curve, already unlocked, with the intention of returning this one. The seller [...]
