Max had another soccer game on Saturday. He has so much fun there, I have to recommend it to all parents of young children. It is so much more interactive and physically demanding than tee-ball or little league. (It’s practically non-stop running for an hour, instead of standing around waiting to bat or for someone […]
Things that are funny at 11:30 at night, in the office, after working 12 hours a day, seven days a week for over a month, are not funny during the day. Things that are funny on a Sunday afternoon when you’re in the office for the 19th day in a row really shouldn’t ever be […]
Hey look, we’re the blog of the day!
One day last week while the boys were watching TV, I decided to finally get this here blog up-to-date with microformats, especially since I’m all for them and keep telling people to use them. Might as well take my own medicine, right?\ As of sometime last week, the front page has three separate hAtom feeds […]
Today is a banner day. No, it’s not because the cold I’ve had for four days has reached Biblical mucous proportions (if Pharoah hadn’t relented, it would have been the next plague: multi-colored, never-ending mucous). It’s not that I’ve had three days off in the last thirty. It’s not that I’ve interviewed two kids out […]
Since I’m a CSS guy and am always preaching out this crap, I figured I should play along and go naked too. Nothing is broken. Really. I turned the stylesheet off on purpose. It’ll be back tomorrow.\ I’m actually kind of happy with it. The main page of the blog stands up quite well without […]
Remember when I said UPN could kiss my ass? Well apparently that is just the kind of sweet talk they like (I should have known they liked it dirty and rough, they are UPN after all), as I was invited to be on the cool kids list too! YAY! Who knew complaining could be so […]
The problem with the global economy is that there’s always someone awake and sending me e-mail. I get a couple hundred e-mails a day, and in the old days, I could be pretty certain that I wouldn’t get more than 10-15 over night, and they usually weren’t serious. Now? I get a good half a […]
This is my third conference in March, and it’s the third one with serious wi-fi issues. What’s the deal? These are not quilting conferences. These are serious nerdfests, where the organizers are expecting lots of geeks with laptops sucking down bandwidth with abandon. If you don’t have that bandwidth, you will have a bunch of […]
I’m here in Vegas for Mix06. It all started with Bill Gates’ keynote in the morning, and it soon became clear that I was in a different world. I was in not in my world, I was in MicrosoftLand, where everyone has unlimited resources to build web products for everyone else and then build a […]
