This is the first weekend in a long while where I'm not doing something. Really, I'm very excited for the opportunity to do some more unpacking. If I can get my bedroom, bathroom, and study unpacked and cleaned up by the end of the weekend, I&

I'm getting ready to go to my art welding class at 7:40. The instructor is a firecracker (no pun intended). She is extremely energetic and obviously LOVES staring at melted, liquid scrap metal reflecting the sun-like flame eminating from her welding tip... bits of cars, refrigerators, and

Well, after my lunch meeting / pitch, it looks pretty strong for go ahead with Tock rollout. I promised the system in January of next year, but between you and me, it won't take that much effort to get what I have in Tock ready and customized for a

So I spent an hour racking my brains last night on a redesign. Like I said before, this is more of a personal corporate identity campaign (matching business cards). No matter what I did, I couldn't get off of using a dark background. That's NOT where

Well, I woke up this morning and Tivo was still upset. I actually modified my Tivo a long while ago, so I was convinced it wasn't a problem with something I did. This morning, I investigated some of the Tivo hacking sites and discovered that if you'

I will be attending the Weblogger Meetup in Austin, and it's just ten days away... For my blog, I want to have a look and feel of my own and matching giveaways (business cards, stickers, etc) at least 3 days before the event... which means I need to

My Tivo seems to be sick. I added the Turbonet mod to it so that it would use ethernet rather than telephone to update its guide data. This was necessary because the modem crapped up and refused to dial. It's just linux in the inside, so it'

I'm am weary from today. Today was a huge Intern / Employer appreciation lunch down at the Hyatt where we invited all employers who hired summer interns to a luncheon. I hijacked the opportunity to introduce some of the multimedia, networking, and software dev. folks to each other. Each
