You’re Never Fully Dressed (Without a Smile)
I’ve decided that the smiley has, on the whole, gotten a bad rap. I’m asking you to take action, and join me in speaking up for the smiley. [But hold off on the smiley variations, and all those other emoticons, until we can build some consensus there.] Anyhow, don’t let people put smiley down in [...]
Microsoft Security Essentials goes live – go get it
If you use Windows XP (SP2+), Vista, or Windows 7, and you aren’t already using the beta, you should surf on over to http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/ and grab the newly-released Microsoft Security Essentials app. I’ve been using it for a while, and I can’t complain – which is a rarity, because I like to complain, and I’m pretty [...]
This just in, from Agent Dan
Agent Dan just sent me a link, and a comment: “Feel free to make a coffee table book out of this for my birthday.” I might have to do that. These would make a *great* coffee table book. Oh, here’s that link: What Stormtroopers do on Their Day Off
The Night Life of Trees
I just received my copy (#73 of 1000) of The Night Life of Trees from Amazon.com. It came to my attention via a blog post on Drawn.ca. I can’t add much to their excellent summary, except the following: After watching this video, how can you NOT want to possess your very own copy of this [...]
Make Flickr Funr
Ah, the internet. Home of a seemingly infinite number of amazing toys, most of them free. The toy I’ve been playing with lately is Multicolr Search Lab. You MUST go there – go, go now. Pick a favorite color (or two, or more) and watch the results flow in. This probably has some practical applications, [...]
Chumbalicious
I got a Chumby! It arrived just in time for my birthday – yay!! It’s the new “Pearl” (2009) model, and it’s so freakin’ cute I can’t stand it. And it’s squeezable. And for those who don’t know, it’s basically a small, touch-screen, WiFi-enabled computer, with speakers, all sewn into a padded leather bag. It [...]
Happy Birfday to Me…
As usual, it’s been a long time since my last post. I’ve got a lot saved up… But as usual, I don’t have time to compose a long post right now. But it’s my birthday, so I had to get *something* in. I’ll try to get more in over the weekend… But for now, to [...]
Luang Prabang
I’m at an internet cafe in Luang Prabang – it’s fun to see all the monks in their orange robes getting online at some of the other PCs. Laos is amazing, and Luang Prabang is very, very beautiful. And since the UNESCO World Heritage designation, tourism in Luang Prabang has been booming. It’s hard to [...]
Greetings from beautiful Sa Pa!
I don’t have my camera/phone/PDA thingy with me, so I’ll skip the photo this time. And some day when I get back, I’ll figure out why the photo in my last post came out sideways. But the main thing is that Em and I are in Sa Pa, chillin’ at an internet cafe. We had [...]
