I was browsing through a backup CD of mine and came across a bunch of my old poems. I might as well throw them up here. Here’s one called “conceited monkeys”. the yellow bellied underbottom that moves me to consume. fabrics of threads stranded… and stranded. together as many broken, untwirling decrepidations is the sum [...]
What the hell is up with ATI Technologies (ATYT) stock? The stuff has been on a steep decline since the beginning of April. It’s gone down about 10% in the last two weeks. What gives? I bought the stock back in the fall and enjoyed a nice little boost as the price rose from $16.40 [...]
I wonder if I’ll ever get around to finishing the Making the Blog(MtB) feature. It would be a useful piece of literature, but I’ve been struggling to find the time to work on it. I don’t have any illusions that people are excitedly awaiting the next installment. Once it’s finished though, I assume I may [...]
It’s been over a month since I moved into my new place, about time for an update. So far 3 of 5 walls are painted and 5 of 7 rugs are in place. Operation scrub it down is complete. Sofa is go. Crummy TV and cable go. Living room curtins go. Old desktop computer go. [...]
The first MtB post was merely an introduction of the idea for this series. In this, the second installment, I will describe the MySQL schema used to store post information. Future MtB posts will go into the coding behind the various public and tools-oriented pages used to display and update the posts. So let’s get [...]
I’m currently sitting on my plastic covered couch waiting for the cable guy to get here. Besides the couch, there’s also a microwave, two folding chairs, and a TV set in here. It’s beautiful. I’m also “borrowing” my neighbor’s wireless network to make this post. I thought that I might have “Making the Blog Part [...]
This was made using the “Old Guy-Mean Guy” technique and another photo of me from the Dominican Republic (it’s the only photos I have on this computer). The piece is significant because it represents my first portrait with a non-round head shape. I also realized that saving these things in gif format saves a bit [...]
While messing around with some logo ideas for a possible client, I came up with this pic: This was done in Photoshop. I basically drew a bunch of circles on different layers, outlined them with the “stroke” layer effect and did some choice “spherizing” to make things look less flat. It’s a nice effect I [...]
At the Barnes&Noble the other day, I came across this Eric Meyer book on CSS and skimmed through it a bit. ‘turns out, there’s this great big controversy over laying out websites using CSS instead of tables. I’ve been away from the “web development scene” a bit since I started my new job last May. [...]
I created this website to give myself an outlet for my creative urges. I imagined myself writing fictional masterpieces weekly and creating scores of compiled computer games, all of which I would upload to this site. Well, that’s only partially happening. I’m actually encouraged with my progress. However, as is common with a lot of [...]
