I’m hoping to make this more of a thing, where I make fun little toys in HTML5. I made my drum kit sometime back, and had played around with <canvas> some last year. Since I’m kind of signed up to talk at Webuquerque on the topic of <canvas> and similar such technology (at the time [...]
December 22, 2009Uncategorized1 commentWell, that was a fun experiment of sorts.
As I wrote back in July, I converted my site to ExpressionEngine. I thought it’d be this great revolution for me. Instead, I just about fell off the face of the planet.
It’s not that EE isn’t a great platform — truly, it is. However, it’s a CMS. Really, [...]
I’ve had a number of other titles floating around in my head for this post.
Thinking, Rethinking, Overthinking
Too many tools
Endings, beginnings
Restarts
Reboot
Then I realized I’d already written one of those posts, back in April.
It’s pretty apparent that I haven’t been blogging lately. I feel stuck. Stymied. I don’t know why. Life is kind of crazy busy. I [...]
Well, I finally did it. Back in April, I talked about rebooting. At first, I thought I’d maybe start totally fresh. Then I realized that, “Hey, I have a lot of content here, I’d hate to lose it”.
So, I did some dancing with scripts and HTML and ported the site on over to Expression Engine. [...]
Hello!
If you’re finding this blog for the first time from my HTML5 Drum Kit from this post on Ajaxian.com, welcome to my meager site!
I feel like a cobbler who has no shoes of his own – or perhaps, one that is wearing a brand name instead of his own. I haven’t invested proper time on [...]
Seriously, I need to do something to refresh this excuse of a blog. I used to post about stuff. Then Twitter came along and I find it just so much easier to spout off in 140 character bursts.
Part of me is tempted to clean out the domain and start fresh. I only have one or [...]
For those not in the know, MacHeist is back. It’s a large bundle of Mac software for an amazing price, and it seems to create this huge amount of drama in the Mac software developer community. As someone who’s just started to get into Apple development (iPhone for now, maybe more later), I find the [...]
March 26, 2009UncategorizedNo commentsI’ve been holding back on posting this one, because I wanted to wait until Jason had a chance to see it in person. Not sure why, just, felt like I wanted to share with him and a few others in person before I went and said it more loudly.
Nearly three years ago, I talked about [...]
So yeah, I made it six days into NaBloPoMo. That’s amusing. Oh well. I enjoy writing and all, but trying to do it as a daily thing wound up turning it into something of a chore, and that’s not pleasant.
Life has been ridiculously busy and shows no signs of slowing down. Things are kind of [...]
I saw this meme posted and thought it sounded interesting, so I figure, I’ll post it up here. It seems like an interesting way to get to know people better.
Ask me to take pictures of any aspect of my life you’re curious about.
Leave your requests as comments to this entry. One request per person.
Please look [...]
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 [...]
November 6, 2008Uncategorized2 commentsI’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 [...]
November 6, 2008UncategorizedNo commentsI 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 [...]
Only seems fitting to point out some election-themed links.
Barack Obama – I’ve sent my vote his way. The more I’ve read and the more I’ve researched, I can’t see myself voting any other way. Between his increasingly hard right shift, his horrible selection for VP, and general change in conduct over this campaign, I can’t [...]
November 4, 2008Uncategorized1 commentI 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 [...]
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 [...]
November 2, 2008Uncategorized1 commentI 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. [...]
November 1, 2008Uncategorized1 commentSo, I’m just writing a quick post to test out the WordPress application for the iPhone.
I totally caved in. It’s not so bad so far. The auto correction is kinda neat so far.
I’m in the living room, Lisa is watching an episode of Lipstick Jungle. We’re resting a bit. It’s nice.
I’ve realized that I’ve kinda lost the spark for reading lately. I don’t know why. I want — nay, I need something to get me back into it.
Therefore, I make this plea. Assume I have never read any notable literature in my life. I’ve read a lot of books, but this just makes it easier. [...]
In case you haven’t heard yet, Google released a new browser today, named Google Chrome. They’ve released a 38-page comic book by Scott McCloud to discuss why they felt that a new browser was needed, and it’s actually a well-written comic. It does a great job of presenting the technical aspects in a very user-friendly [...]
