  • site update

    it’s been a long time coming, i finally updated the blog design. i’ve done a couple custom wordpress themes for thinktank clients now, and it was about time i did one for myself. it’s not really anything new, although the banner is totally new. but the css was recoded by hand. the overall design is…

  • the 30 project.

    i’ve decided to do a new project. i turn 30 this year. i have a lot of “oh god i’m getting old” feelings about this, probably because i have very clear memories of my dad freaking out when he turned 30 (i guess it’s a good thing gavin and lilah won’t have that experience). anyway,…

  • giving green cars a bad name

    i was stunned when i read this article about the hype machine that is ZAP.  it made me change my mind about most evil company ever — no more does microsoft hold that title: ZAP is the new most evil company ever.  in fact, the article was so bad (not the article actually, but the…

  • Rails…

    with some hacking and clever googling i think i’ve installed everything i need for RubyOnRails.  i’m not positive though, and i won’t really know for sure until i start really hacking my first program.  i had to find several different installation howtos to be sure i did everything.  i’m pretty sure the ubuntu community documentation…

  • out of the woods

    so just about all i blog about these days is how the web design gig is going. that probably has something to do with the fact that i’ve been dreaming CSS lately. well this post won’t be any different. and i’m still f’ing dreaming CSS… we recently hit a landmark accomplishment. when we were first…

  • holy crap-o i can feed into facebook

    file this under: i didn’t know you could do that i am now effectively feeding my blog into facebook.  that’s pretty f’ing spiff. —————- Now playing: “Cat Power – Nude as the News.mp3” via FoxyTunes

  • the suprising relationship between pirating and purchasing

    i found this snippet on slashdot today, which says that p2p downloaders (read: music pirates) buy more music according to a study commissioned by the Canadian government (more and more i’m thinking that, despite popular american opinion, canadians RAWK). now this is something i’ve known for years, because it’s precisely the case for me. with…
