House Hunting

Way back at the start of this year, I set forth 5 goals, after the 1st quarter I’m probably no closer to attaining 3/5. I haven’t bugged Robyn for any material items, but then nothing of note has come out since then… And let’s face it, Rock Band for the Wii is due out June 22nd. Last week we saw a house (a proper house, not a townhouse that we were looking at in the same development) that is perfect in many ways…


Cinderella’s Still Dancing…

Davidson continue a remarkable run as they beat Wisconsin in the Sweet Sixteen round of the NCAA Tournament. The Davidson campus is about 5 or so miles away from our front door, we drove around the town last night and it was full of signs of support for the team. Now they’re in the Elite Eight, it should be even better…

WordPress 2.5 Thoughts

As a Release Candidate of WordPress 2.5 has been available for just over a week, I thought I’d givie it a try as I’m a sucker for beta stuff (I’m using Firefox 3 Beta 4 right now for example). Now there has been a big change in the admin section (you can see screenshots and see it in action on the WordPress dev blog) and I’ll safely say 99.9% of these changes are for the better, I just have one gripe… And I view this to be a major oversight.


Muxtape

Muxtape, a simple way to make a mixtape. Very simple, upload 12 songs, rearrange them and your done. You can hear mine here.


Rick on the Roll

Rick Astley on the phenomenon that is “Rickrolling”. He’s never gonna give you up, y’know… Never gonna let you down…

Reasons to Be Cheerful

Usually I’m quick to criticise Robyn’s ever expanding TiVo wishlists/season pass lists. Seriously, 99% of the TiVo recordings are hers, and 95% of those are “just because.” But we found out tonight that the one I criticise the most has finally paid off, for me at least…

Irony?

It’s kind of pitiful that I need to create a login just to comment on Metroblogs, yet as an author I got blackballed nearly two years ago, that login got blocked but I still recieve author mailing list emails from Sean Bonner et al.

Sheesh, they like to make life difficult…

Socialist

I’ve been involved in social networks, social media or whatever you call it for the best part of 10 years now, which is actually quite scary in some aspects. It’s more funny how in those 10 years public sentiment has changed from one of trepidation to embracement, it was only 9 years ago I went to New York City to spend Labor Day weekend with a whole bunch of people I met on the old sixdegrees site. Back then there was kind of a stigma about it, you know, “you met people on the internet?” Now I can safely say I met my wife on the internet, and all my friends in Atlanta? All off the internet too, all without scorn or ridicule. It’s just part of everyday life now.

March Madness Bracketology 2008

Another year, another shot at glory. This time I’ve made one significant change to my March Madness routine of years past, no second guessing myself, version 1 of the brackets is sticking after the advice of Brian last year (I never did find out how he did though, a flaw perhaps?)

Michael Stipe, Finally Out the Closet

Michael Stipe confirms that he is, as everyone already knew for years, actually gay. Now this isn’t really news worthy, what is news worthy is the fact that Robyn has a picture of him with a male stripper at a birthday party at Go Bar in Athens, GA. from at least 8 years ago. That pic should be scanned and Flickr’d just for the hell of it now…
