  • windows 7 beta review

    so, i’ve been running win 7 beta on my main machine for a little while now and thought i should share my thoughts, since, you know, that’s kind of the whole point of this beta thing… boot time bootup time is significantly faster than vista and xp.  i’m actually pretty surprised at how quickly it’s…

  • server intestinal implosion

    so the server is having issues. i’m getting a lot of slow loading pages and error 500s on the wordpress sites i’m running.  when i contacted 1and1 to report the issue, i got this fantabulous response: me: > Hi– > > I have multiple sites running on my shared hosting > package, and I noticed…

  • A Public Service Announcement to the Blogosphere…

  • eat your heart out david lynch

    first vlog.  i’m pretty happy with it.  it doesn’t say “hey, i’m a boring video blog” instead it says “hi i’m a video blog AND I’M GOING TO MELT YOUR BRAIN” which, i think, is a lot more interesting.  i’m a bit annoyed by the clicky noises it makes when i move the laptop around…

  • twine: you’re dead to me…
