Whatever random crap I feel like posting. Typically left-leaning. Occasionally vulgar. Not always serious. Sometimes annoying.

A neat visual thingy

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

One of my favorite visual effects; mostly just as a test. It's the Adelson checkerboard; same actual surface gray, but very different perceived lightness (until the squares get connected).

Mmm, del.icio.us

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

As you might have noticed, the "Recently Viewed" entries in the menu to the near left present the last bundle of things I've tagged on del.icio.us, the excellent social bookmarking site. In case anybody cares, here is my "tag cloud" from del.icio.us. Click on a word to see things that ...

Not that anybody cares, but here are the top five search items leading people to this blog in August:duelmasters bratz treasures e-meter life in hell lion king pornAnd, of course, I still remain the king of "tight-assed porn", as the #1 entry on Google and the #2 entry on MSN Search for that term.

You may safely ignore this

Friday, September 1st, 2006

Hey, it's just some test audio (just me saying nothing meaningful). Just trying out using audio in Wordpress. Pay no attention. Unless, of course, you're all excited to hear me talk. Which probably wouldn't be such a good thing for either one of us, quite frankly. And ...

Writely rocks

Sunday, August 20th, 2006

I luckily got an account at Writely before Google bought it and stopped issuing new accounts. But now they've started it again. Very cool online writing and collaborating word processor. Get an account and use it.

USB in the car

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

I'd been limping along with a crappy little FM transmitter in the car for playing the MP3 pod through the car stereo, feeling envious of those with cassette decks who could use the cassette adaptor input. But I finally replaced it with the cool all-in-one plug-in-to-lighter-socket combination FM transmitter ...

The new spring look

Saturday, February 18th, 2006

Changed the template. I like it better, but maybe I was just tired of the old one. Anyway, there might be bumps and glitches as I fine-tune it.

Podcasts

Monday, January 23rd, 2006

I've carried some kind of MP3 player for quite a while, although I only recently converted from a flash-based player to a hard-disk-based one. But being a good more-or-less early adopter kind of guy, I've been listening to some podcasts since, you know, they were invented. I have some thought ...

WordPress 2.0 upgrade

Saturday, December 31st, 2005

Did the upgrade to the new WordPress 2.0 here. Let me know if you notice that anything has gotten screwed up.

Xmas wars, spooge, and Lion King porn

Sunday, December 25th, 2005

A few changes since last month ("The Lion King, alien abduction, the antichrist, Barry Williams, and tight-assed porn") in what search terms bring people to this blog. This month's top 10 (last month's ranking in brackets following). 1. lion king 2 [3] 2. lion king [1] 3. lion king ...
