Out to sea…

Out of the coun­try for a few days, phở­tos to follow.

Career Oppurtunities (the ones that never knock)

One day, thought not any time soon, and prob­a­bly not before they go big or the next big indus­try shift hap­pens, I want to work for a web host­ing com­pany like The Engine Yard, Media Tem­ple or Lin­ode; These are web host­ing com­pa­nies that get it. Dif­fer­ent from the "extremely ques­tion­able" web host I once worked for, the "old

Talk Sex…

with Sue Johan­son is prob­a­bly one of my favorite shows that I for­get to watch. I love that she's sweet like your grand­mother yet still seems like she gets down at home, age and all. I feel like this woman has left a string of bro­ken men, now use­less to the world, in her wake. If Oxy­gen had their shit

Minute Photographic

Ear­lier this week Gor­don Ryan (who needs to do some­thing about his naked-ass site) and I dis­cussed daily photo blogs.

Ping!

Reports of my demise have been greatly exag­ger­ated. While it is true that I've all but dis­ap­peared, I have at least been work­ing in the back­ground. I've been work­ing on upgrad­ing all of the hosted word­press sites I main­tain (and the one I don't) to Word­Press 2.7, and I've begun search­ing for a new theme to adopt for my

Disjointed

Iron Man is an excel­lent comic book movie (which makes it a pretty good movie over­all). It feels very much like a faith­ful attempt to com­press 20 years of sto­ry­lines (the ori­gin, the Armor Wars, Pep­per Potts, and the ces­sa­tion of arma­ments man­u­fac­tur­ing by Star Indus­tries) into a sin­gle sto­ry­line with a strong influ­ence from the Ulti­mate Mar­vel uni­verse.
