Life, code, and everything from Brian Arnold

  1. My family, July ‘08

    Some time back, I recall Lisa telling me that she pulls up this picture when she needs a quick pick-me-up. It’s a picture we had taken out at her mom and dad’s house in Tijeras. I’ve since taken up the habit. It works well for me too. So, here you go. You can see it [...]

  2. Thursday Inspiration: Yes, we can

    I’m really finding myself in need of some inspiration today. I put the idea for an inspiration post on Thursday to help carry through the rest of the week, and have found that this week, it’s more timely than I could have ever imagined. This week has been one of the roughest I’ve had in [...]

  3. Struggling to find the words

    I may come back and do a Working Wednesday post to try and keep the theme going (and I do have an idea for something to write on that theme), but I figure, for now, I should just put something out.
    Last night, watching the returns, I got chills several times over. I’m sure I cried [...]

  5. Monday Musings: iPhone

    I thought about saving the iPhone for use as Thursday’s inspiration, but I suspected that I’d probably make some of you gag. So, I’m going to blather on about the wonderful iPhone today.
    I fought buying an iPhone for quite a long time. When it first came out on June 29th, 2007 (which I can remember [...]

  6. Retheming RandomThink.net (again)

    Over the years, I’ve changed the look of RandomThink.net several times. It started its life as a Movable Type blog, and when they pulled their license fee stuff out some years back, I made the jump to WordPress, which I’ve been using for years, and with every major release, it seems like I wind up [...]

  7. Great idea, odd name

    I suspect a lot of my readers are aware of NaNoWriMo, which is short for National Novel Writing Month, ten years strong now. The idea is to write a novel over the course of the month of November, assessed by word count. I believe the eventual goal of NaNo writers is to reach 50,000 words. [...]
