Life, code, and everything from Brian Arnold

  1. Random sadness

    I’m quite sleepy now, and am going to bed, but I just wanted to hop on here really quickly because I wanted to get something out.
    Through a small chain of events this evening, my mind got stuck on my stepdad, John, who passed away roughly a year and a half ago. Here’s my initial post [...]

  2. Crazy flash storm

    As the two prior posts point out, I was caught by a huge storm out of nowhere. It was clear, and then this storm rolled in quickly. The sky went from beautifully bright to nearly pitch black within a span of maybe thirty seconds. It was amazing. I did an audioblog post about it too, [...]

  3. More clouds

    A picture just seconds after the first one, but that I didn’t have a chance to upload until now. Look at this thing!

  5. Mixed emotions, but mostly sad

    So, I had to take Lisa back to the airport today. That was really hard. I know why she has to go out to Oklahoma, and I know that it’s for good reasons, and I know that she’s doing okay (although she’s had some hotel and car issues already), and I know that I’ll see [...]

  7. Adobe proposes new format for images

    Adobe proposes new format for images
    I’m a big digital camera enthusiast – well, maybe not that big, but I really enjoy having a digital camera. That said, I’m not a fan of the JPEG format that it primarily uses, mainly since I know there’s some information loss. I could take photos in Canon’s raw [...]

  9. Lisa is home!

    There was much rejoicing. It’s very nice to have her home, even if only over the weekend. I don’t know how much I’ll be updating over the weekend, but I’ll at least make an effort to maybe do a quick mobile photo blog (mophoblog) entry or two while we’re out and about.

  11. Japanese Culture

    This Dork Tower comic made me laugh. For awhile, I felt like the main character in this strip (the one who snaps). I think Japan has a fascinating culture too, but I’m just not as into it as some people, and sometimes those really obsessed fanboys really get to me. Anyhow, enjoy the strip. It’s [...]

  12. Ask the AIM Audience

    I tend to sit on AIM quite a bit. Just about anytime I’m at a PC, I’m on AIM. Today I was having some issues connecting (due to my ISP), and somewhere along the lines of trying to resolve my issues, I ran across this page, where you can sign up to be a part [...]

  13. Well, a little more geekout

    I bought the Star Wars Trilogy. It’s wonderful. Go see this PvP strip if you’re one of those people complaining about the changes.

  14. Random Airblogging.com test

    Doing a test of another service for moblogging.
    this post enabled by airblogging.com.
    Edit: This works! I’m overjoyed! airblogging.com allows for me to post with my cell phone and have the image store within my own wordpress install. The name the image gets is incredibly arbitrary, but I don’t care too much about that. What really matters [...]

  15. Oh yeah, I should say something

    So, I’m back home. Most of you already know that. I’ve probably talked to you on some instant messaging or phone system by now, or you have just inferred such, considering my massive amounts of posting lately. Moblog systems are nice. I’m just nervous about relying so much on Flickr. Maybe they’ll add an option [...]

  18. Early morning

    Getting going early today!
    After edit: This was 5:21 in Central timezone, so relative to my home timezone, it’s really more like 4:21 (and you’ll note the post time says 4:24). Just thought I’d toss that out there. I was on the road by 5:45 Mountain timezone.

  19. Shopping and fairs and coconut, oh my!

    Today is day three of my four-day weekend to visit Lisa. As you know, day one was a lot of commute and then a great dinner and some nice shopping.
    Yesterday, we went out for some Chinese at this one restaurant that I don’t recall the name of, and it was good. I mean, I’ve had [...]

  20. Survivor: Oklahoma?

    Survivor: Oklahoma! What a trip. They're competing for a car. No interacting with the crowds, and only rice for food, with the daily reward challenge possibly providing them with fair food.
