I found this story on the internets this evening. It’s just proof that some people just share too much
Friday Playlist #5
What I love about using shuffle to do my Friday playlist is that I really don’t have to think very hard to get the playlist out the door. Sure I throw my $.02 in there about each track and/or band, but the natural flow of shuffle makes it much easier for me to maintain my mindless zombie status. Especially on …
Why, George, why?
I’m a slow learner. Rather, I’m a stubborn learner who doesn’t pay any attention nor know any better when it comes to certain topics that “blind” me. First and foremost of these is Star Wars. I have quite the different perspective on that “Galaxy far far away” than most typical casual fans. Over the past twenty years, I’ve read almost …
Friday Playlist #4
Ahh, the wonders of Friday. Survive today and, more than likely, you’ll have two free days of mirth and merriment that just don’t last long enough. OK, enough of the palaver, down to the tunes. I thought I’d take things up a level this week and leave the selection of the Friday playlist to the hands of fate, or, at …
Wherein Justin “reads” books and sounds smart and shits
A terribly sad thing happened on my way in to work this fine morning: I finally finished Jim Butcher’s Turn Coat. At 7:18AM CST I caught up with the rest of the world and now have to wait until April until I can get another Harry Dresden fix. In explaining the “Dresden Files” books to many of my friends, however, …
We make holes in links
My general email address has been public for well over a dozen years, so I get a lot of spam. I’ve got some pretty good filters nowadays, but the amount that piles up in that trash folder can be pretty staggering. This really didn’t bother me until I started writing this blog. I am amazed at how many spam blog …
The creative process
For the most part, I consider myself wildly creative but horribly untalented. Over the past couple of years I’ve managed to cludge together some (what I consider) pretty decent creative output, but I always seem to struggle with it. That’s one of the reasons I really wanted to get this little ray o’ internet sunshine going: to help keep the …
Coding in the Hellmouth
Every couple of weeks my email inbox gets bombarded by offers of contract employment in strange and far off cities. I just about always check out where the job is in case I know someone that direction who might be interested (referral cash is as good as free money), but I generally just click the delete button and send these …
Friday Playlist #3
Well, it’s Friday again, and that means more freakin’ music from me. I know I’ve been extra slacky this week, but that is, indeed, my prerogative (and I don’t mean the Bobby Brown kind). This week’s offering leans a little more towards the fast and dirty. I’ve basically been cooped up all week, so that almost always gets reflected in …
I’ve got your artistic talent right here…
I think often about getting out of the Information Technology business. As I sit here typing this out today, my left hand is, once again, trussed up like a Victorian strumpet thanks to mysterious wrist pain. Too many video games? Too much masturbation? No, I think this actually came from working; and by work I mean typing out hundreds of …
