Hopefully this will be short and sweet.
I always find it extremely interesting to watch the game that plays out between two people that want to have sex with each other… sometimes it’s almost as if neither of them can see the outcome of their actions while everyone around them can.
Am I just getting older? I […]

The imminent implossion of Digg » Thinking Outloud
It looks like my article on Digg’s broken commenting system helped contribute a little to this new idea that the site is doomed and on its way out. I certainly didn’t intend for that reaction, nor do I agree that […]

After my post “Why is Digg Filled with So Many Assholes?” spent some time on the Digg front page I got a ton of traffic, which is to be expected.
What I didn’t expect was that I would be referenced on Wikipedia, oh the power of the web.
On Wikipedia’s entry for “Digg.com” the statement “It has […]

For anyone who hasn’t seen Lasse Gjertsen this guy is a genius. Below are a few of his videos all piled together in one big collection for your enjoyment. In the first two he basically combines stop motion video with DJing, the results are hilarious and extremely creative. The second two are more concept pieces, […]

Well, I just went through the Digg effect and was very pleased by how well my hosting provider, Dreamhost, was able to handle the traffic.

I just got a chance to try out the alpha version of firefox, GranParadiso, and I have to say that it looks awesome so far.
But I was really surprised that it failed the Acid2 test. I know that the layout engine is still being developed, but you’d think that a group that extolls the virtues […]

I was looking at stop motion videos on youtube today and this one caught my eye. Usually these things are just 10,000 pictures of people jumping in the air and fighting, but I hadn’t seen one that actually timed everything to a beat.

What’d you think? Let me know if there are any cool stop […]

When I moved to Tampa I showed up with one car load full of stuff, a couple bucks in my pocket, and no job. I was left looking around for a bartending position, but it seems that in Tampa you have to be a bar back first, unless you have breasts. After a few weeks […]

Every time I leave my apartment via bicycle I come back with another story of a near death experience. I’ve thought a lot about why this is. It’s not like I live in an extremely high traffic area, it can’t just be that everyone here is an inconsiderate driver, there’s got to be some reason […]
