When someone writes me an email that has the subject of “Happy Gnu Year”, they better be ready for the reply.

Hey!
We’re good. I wouldn’t worry about the Christmas cards. They’re an outdated (and ecologically unsound) method of sending pictures, updates, and happiness anyway. I’d much prefer not to send those things, but hey, I’m only half of “us”. So, don’t feel bad about not sending those to me. heh. We know you love us already.
Christmas was good times. We went to B’ham and spent a whole week up there. It was good and I’m happy to be back in the sunshine. I’m sitting outside on our deck right now, probably because of my temperature controlled body system hasn’t yet adapted to the above-effing-freezing temperatures now surrounding my skin.
Christmas lasted forever this year though. I never thought I’d ever hear Tilly say “I’m over it” referring to the Christmas season (and not to my ruggedly unshaven good looking face). But, she did. We had Christmas for about 2 weeks (minus the presents because we’re too cheap for a hanukkah-like distribution of loot).
Maui and May sound wonderful. They sound similar too… but not Maui in May. Although I won’t resist if someone gives us (read drops) tickets (near us) either. Or, if we win the lotto. Damn the fact that you have to play to win. Maybe my plan (muah hah hah) to take over the world will be finished by then and we can bring Maui closer, get a hoverboat, and line up all the celery in the world and drive on top of it like a bridge. Ah, they told us to dream big huh? They had no idea what they were in for.
Well, in closing, I’d like to ask that you send us a “Wish you were here” card while you’re there. Because who cares about ecology and trends when you’re in Hawaii anyway?

Last night, before I completed packing for our vacation, I finished watching the last half or “Sicko” by Michael Moore. Wait, hold on. I know just the mention of that guy’s name on this blog will make some of you start praying for me. I appreciate that because I haven’t been too [...]

Well, it’s been fun. 2007 was a great year but we must move on. This is one of those summary posts people do at the end of the year….
Hey, wait a sec, you say. It’s not the end of the year yet!.
Bah humbug.
I’m taking the rest of the year off, like many [...]

Remember that project I was twittering about? It was called “Non-Zero”. Well, @loiclemeur just showed that it’s viable.
Loic is getting paid to get people to vote for something. What is being voted for and who these people are is relatively meaningless (to me at least, sorry @jberrebi, I’m sure it’s very [...]

The sad thing is, it probably only takes one 5 year old to beat me in a hacking contest, but that’s ok I can take 28 five year olds in a fight. Bring it on chill’uns. Hack this!
.. and no, I obviously don’t have children yet.

On December 2nd I had a problem with sleeping. Those problems usually end up in crazy wild projects that run through my mind until I find some way of dismissing it or doing it. That particular night turned a few hours into a viable, awesome project called 50 photos.
The idea behind the 50 [...]

The past few years I’ve pretty much purchased all my presents for people online. I’m not a huge fan of the holidays (reverting to 3rd grade…. “no, YOUR the Scrooge!”), and when people ask me what I want for Christmas or my birthday, I never know what to say. We live in a [...]

I just found ShareAPic which is a twist to the old Photobucket standby (”we’ll host your photos for free”.. cough.. and take ad revenue from your content). ShareAPic gives you the ability to create photo galleries and the like, similar to other photo sharing places, but they will pay you something like 22 cents [...]
