Surprising Polling

CNN.com – Support for Bush’s re-election falls below 50 percent Interesting numbers from this poll. The questions seem fair and not leading. I definitely won’t vote for Bush in 2004, no matter who’s running against him. We have a President of Lowered Expectations in office, and he’s fulfilling all of them. He’s killing any diplomatic […]

Beats To Make You Move Your Seat

Ok, this Samba version of Hit The Road, Jack in Portugese (I think) on Jazzmusique, has me dancing my fat ass off. It’s rockin’ in a way I just can’t explain. My feet are tappin’, my head is a-boppin, my butt is a-shimmyin’, and thanks to Amazon, the album has been added to my wishlist, […]

Airport Mormons

I’m back!! I slept sitting up on the couch last night and got seven hours of uninterrupted sleep before getting up for work. I’m back a work, a little tired and a little coughy, but here I am. I’m going to work on a Geekout! tutorial on installing Movable Type in OS X for a […]

Another Reason Not To Watch Local News

The local news teased that we’re going to get snow tomorrow, so we watched it. I was shocked and appalled that during the weather report, they actually used Comic Sans!!! Channel 7, fie on you for using the world’s most despised and abused font. You should know better.

Bad Ideas

There is nothing on TV from 4 – 6am. Also, staying up all night when you’re not doing anything staying up for is a really bad idea. My throat kept me up all night. Robitussin gave me no comfort. Tylenol – nothing. Motrin – squat. I give up. I’m calling the doctor in two hours […]

Cough, Ouch, Type, Repeat

I’m here and I’m sick. Why am I here? I’m not exactly sure. Here I am though, sitting in my office trying not to cough. My throat won’t stop itching or hurting and I didn’t get to sleep until 3:30 this morning. But, I’m here trying to do something productive, and it’s just not coming […]

Voila! Redesign Done Enough To Show

Ok, this is pretty much it. There are still some unpleasant chores to do, but pretty much everything’s done. I’ve checked it in Mozilla, Safari and IE for OS X, and as soon as I get back to the office, I’ll check it in IE for Windows. If you notice anything crazy, please post a […]

Gloogler

Everyone has an opinion on what Google’s acquisition of Blogger means. I’ve read a lot of them. So far, there have been some interesting theories about what Google wants out of Blogger. Wired’s theory of the links is a good one, but why would Google buy Blogger when it already does links? Its whole search […]

Redesign Imminent

Ultranormal is coming!! I started on this today while waiting around for stuff to do (shhh, don’t tell), and am unbelievably happy with it. It still needs some work, and then I need to templify it, but overall, I really like it. I especially like the javascript includes to get the posts from Geekout and […]

Chicken Noises

Ok, I just called a friend a chicken over IM. I was trying to type out chicken noises. It occurred to me, how do you type out sarcastic chicken sounds? Here are the possibilities I came up with: Braaaack braaaak (ok, John came up with that one) Bu-GAWK Squaaaaaaaaaaaack Bok Bok BO-GAWK! Coodle-a-doodle-damn-doo! See, it’s […]
