yes, we’re still friends. honest.

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?”). […]

bear with me

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 🙂 ).

sometimes, I totally miss the links

a couple weeks a friend of mine sent me a vid of fixie riders in San Francisco. It was set to a great instrumental, and said instrumental was “I’m bound to pack it up” by Aluminum. I didn’t know (until today) that Aluminum’s self-titled album was a rework of the White Stripe’s “White Blood Cells”, […]

all these things that I have done

so, I got in to my hotel last night at around 10:30 (I’m on the left coast, so it felt like 01:30) and had every intention of crashing. before I nodded off, I flipped on the tube, and stumbled across the premiere of “Carrier”, PBS’s new documentary that captures a tour of duty aboard the […]

the nhl is important in the usa

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 […]

firefox 3: disabling the awesomebar

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 […]

well hey, that’s nifty

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 […]

this is a corvette?

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 […]

john henry’s got a great sense of humour

no doubt that hank will continue to prove he doesn’t after he receives his membership card. I’m a yankees fan (well, more a jeter fan), and I gotta say that this is the perfect response to Hank’s idiocy du jour. I’m thinking of starting a pool on when good ‘ole Hank will implode under the […]
