Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
it’s been a long time since I posted anything meaningful here, and it’s a habit I’m trying to break. I’ve spent most of my posting effort over on flickr, but it’s been really lacking. I have a lot to say, I’ve just had a really hard time saying it. more to the point, I’ve had […]

I just nuked my Facebook account. It’s nothing personal, I assure you. I’m just a little disenchanted with the way a lot of people are using it as their primary means of communication, as well as using it as an excuse for not returning calls or email (“why didn’t you just email me on Facebook?”).

things will be a little bright around these parts for a while. I’m in the process of updating this theme to something a little less bright, and a little less coop-like. after that, I’ll be posting thoughts and ramblings here again as opposed to flickr (although I’ll be keeping the flickr badge 🙂 ).

so… the nhl playoffs start tonight. you can see how important espn thinks this is. there is not one story about the playoffs visible in the prime real estate. phil mickelson playing a par-freaking-three event with his kids is bigger news. that’s awesome. bettman’s done a hell of a job raising awareness of the game […]
UPDATE: The browser.urlbar.richResults preference checking was removed in bug 407836. Please use the oldbar addon if you want to return to Firefox 2’s style of lookups. The rest of this post is kind of moot now 🙂 Some people don’t like the “awesomebar” in Firefox3, which is a widget that replaced Firefox 2’s location bar’s […]
CBC Radio 3, a radio program and satellite channel that features all-Canadian music I like, featured one of my pics today. They maintain a pool on flickr where people can submit their shots. Each day they pick a photo from this pool as their image of the day. Mine made it today 🙂 It’s also […]
DSC01468 – alelex dear chevrolet, you’re doing it wrong. like, really, really wrong. congrats on taking an icon and turning it into a piece of rice. I wish I could say I was surprised, but this kind of product – which the big three just can’t seem to get their heads out of – is […]
