I’ve gathered a fairly decent collection of sites that offer a discount on something for one day only. In the interest of posting something actually useful, I thought I could pass them on. Some are fairly well known, but one man’s trash is another’s ‘wow I’ve never seen this Rick Astley video before.’ I’m not [...]

Yesterday, while doing some yardwork I managed to take the hedge trimmers to my headphones cord. This allowed me to become reacquainted with the crappy ipod buds at the gym. I realized that they were a slightly different design from the ones I have left over from the other two ipods we’ve bought over the [...]

I have tried to play Second Life twice. The second time was only because I thought maybe I did it wrong the first time. It wasn’t boring so much as horibly laggy, but being forced to pick a silly last name really didn’t help.
And yet, for some reason, librarians are fasciated with the damn game. [...]

I didn’t want to have to make this post. It’s the sort of thing that your close friends know, but that you really don’t feel like telling the internet. But this is a Blog War, and it was such an interesting phenomenon that my hand has been forced.
I saw the Sex and the City movie [...]

I finished up Basic Brewing Radio’s Green Brewing podcast this morning (I’d like to link you directly to it, but there doesn’t appear to be a permalink option). Most of the tips were things I already did, — reuse Starsan, use your immersion chiller water for ____, etc. — or couldn’t do — compost the [...]

The bastard managed to pull it off. Granted, one post was about why my blog sucks, but he churned out five good posts last night. Prick.
So, that means I have until tonight to think of six distinct things to say. If nothing else, this is a great exercise in writing and inspiration for me.

I suppose I should elaborate on Coheed and Cambria a bit, as Saturday I’ll be heading over the border with Elizabeth, Dave and Patricia to see them in concert. Get it, their latest album is No World For Tomorrow, and there’s no concert for tomorrow because it’s actually Saturday, and… ah, forget it.
I think that, [...]

So maybe you heard, yesterday I bought an iPod Shuffle. From now on I’ll be using ‘ipod’ over ‘iPod’ because the librarian in me says ‘use the authority file’ but the cynical part of me says ‘the capital P looks really lame.’ Elizabeth’s ipod, which I stole — er, have been sharing — a while [...]

I’ve had a fairly long and storied unrequited love affair with Apple. Here’s a brief chronology:

Fall 2003: iTunes comes out for Windows, I download
Fall 2003: Man I want an iPod
New Year’s 2003: Acquire an eMac, ditch Windows
Summer 2005: Finally get my damn iPod
Fall 2005: After never getting a printer to work (and wanting a Media [...]

So tiny has answered my ‘two posts in a day’ challenge with three posts in a day, has he? And he claims that I won’t be able to bang out four today?
He’s probably right. Crap. Even if I do manage to squeeze out four today, that just means I’ll have to put out six on [...]
