You can subscribe to my blog posts (which includes a daily digest of my LifeStream) via RSS 2.0, RSS .92, Atom 0.3, or Google Reader.

I have had a blog in some form since 2003, so just for fun, you could jump to a random post.

Search my posts all the way back to April 2003

The search is a little quirky, so being creative helps.
For example, a search for slumber party night will find ANY ONE of the words, while "slumber party night" (in quotes) will only find the exact phrase and I don't always use the complete phrase and sometimes I abbreviate it to SPN.
Therefore, a search for slumber spn with no quotes should find every post that mentions our little ritual.

Just a few more weary days and then I’ll fly away…

Below, is my “LifeStream” – primarily consisting of micro-blogging updates from my phone.  Think of it as sort of like my ongoing autobiography, told in bite-sized chunks of words and sometimes pictures and videos.

But, there is also stuff that I just come across online – such as news/blog items, links, music, photos or whatever – that I wanted to share publically for some reason or another.

This is all continually updated in real time throughout the day, pretty much every day (just keep in mind, it is all in reverse chronological order and you can’t always trust the timestamps).  If you want an idea of who I am, what I’m interested in, and what I do with my time and energy, read on.

If you came looking for actual blog posts only, the left sidebar has a number of browsing and search options.  Anything else you may be looking for is probably found on the right somewhere.


If you have no idea who I am, here is the short version.

    6. Watching The Dark Knight on blu-ray, the changing aspect ratio (because it was also shot for Imax, iirc) is unique - still good composition.
