  • Wherein I reveal that I’m actually a big fat liar

    Wherein I reveal that I’m actually a big fat liar

    For a long time I’ve told people “I’m not really a coder.  I hate programming.”  It’s true that when I took Assembly Language and C++ in college, I barely scraped by and mostly hated every minute.  The only part I didn’t hate, in fact, was when I finally wrote something that worked, and this was…

  • Ever want to be inside of a football stadium as it blows up?

    this is something almost out of some apocalyptic sci-fi fantasy. this video gives a full 360° view of the dallas cowboys football stadium collapsing all around you (until the rafters collapse on your head).  if you’ve ever fantasized about being inside of a stadium when it blew up (and, you know, who hasn’t, right?), this…

  • the god-awful heyday of Geocities…

    StumbleUpon found this site for me today, and there’s a particular reason why this gadget resonates with me… the Geocities-izer the tagline for the Geocities-izer by the aptly-named Wonder-Tonic (who brought us ShadyURL, a URL shortener/renamer that will make any URL look like it’s trying to scam you out of all your money and infect your computer…

  • for valentine’s day

    as today is yesterday was valentine’s day, and also, coincidentally for some, the traditional day of rest and reaffirming their faith in their chosen higher deity, i thought it would be appropriate to take a minute to ponder the origin of the holiday.  partially, this was influenced by @KarinaAllrich‘s tweet earlier today that “Valentine’s Day…

  • stirring up trouble on twitter

    are all the new Upstart Blogger authors just Ashley Morgan in disguise?  if so, the latest post seems like a cry for help.  i thought i’d stir up some trouble and call the author’s true identity into question. i’m not convinced.  are you? here’s the link to the post: http://bit.ly/7brCik
