Expedition Everest
As it turns out, the rumors of the total lack of internet access were greatly exaggerated. When I was ironing a shirt this morning, I found an ethernet cable hiding in the back of the closet, and I grabbed it like a kid opening a Christmas present. It doesn’t make that much of a difference,…

Semi-caffeinated
It’s been a really nice day in San Francisco, and I’ve spent the bulk of it inside trying to get my stuff in order and dreading having to spend all next week at Disney World. Is this what being an adult is like? If it is, I want no part of it. The worst part…

Frenzy
If you want to see an example of something that took me way longer than it should have, then check this out: I wrote a little utility to export my RSS Feeds list from my news reader (NetNewsWire) to html. It’s as close as I can come to a links section for the time being,…

The Week in Videogames
Videogames are cool, because they’re fun to play, and they’re fun to write about on the internet! Everybody knows that the best kind of videogames is the kind where you learn things, and that’s awesome because that’s the best kind of internet weblog post, too! For instance, I learned from Cory that Suikoden V is…

V4 Vendetta
Today we went to Haight Street for lunch, and no matter how many times I go up there I’m still struck with how ridiculous the whole place is. It’s as if all the hypocrisy of San Francisco is laid bare — the “summer of love,” rampant commercialism, poverty, empty promises of “counter-culture,” the head shops…

lol freaky commercials wtf ^__^
Speaking of Japanese Commercials: Right after I watched that one, I got a phone call from some girl whispering “seven days.” And I would’ve been a lot happier if Happiness of the Katakuris was more like this:

Awesome Inflation
And no I’m not talking about Pamela Anderson’s chest. ha-HA! Implants. I’m talking about how it’s getting harder and harder for something to qualify as “awesome” these days. People have uttered the phrase “there’s nothing any cooler than robot ninja ghost pirate monkeys” so many times that it’s ceased to be true. Somebody could release…

St Patrick’s Day
Today’s the day we celebrate St. Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland, much as Samuel L. Jackson is going to drive those damn snakes off a motherfuckin’ plane. I’d thought it was earlier in the week, and I’d already missed it. The only reason I knew today was The Day was that Google’s logo…

A Bunch of Noise
What started out innocently enough as a search for “I Want Candy” by MC Pee Pants (second page) somehow ended up with me on the iTunes Signature Maker. It’s a java app that digs through your iTunes library and generates a file that contains snippets of your favorite tracks mixed together. It’s not exactly pleasurable…

Dumb Old Internet
It looks like moving everything to the new host worked out okay for the most part. It wasn’t painless — as easy as it is to install WordPress on a new site (and it is ridiculously easy), it’s difficult to move the contents to a new site unless it’s exactly the same as your old…

Imminent Downtime
I decided to change my webhost, so access to the site (and my e-mail) may be spotty until the transition is all sorted out. It’s just as well, because my cold is getting worse and I don’t feel like posting anything anyway. Try to stay strong through the transition! And the reason for changing is…
