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.

ok, this blog post from my phone should auto-twitter
because some things are just way too long for a tweet.
this should come in handy if it works right.

twitter feature wish – linkable tweet collections
just a quick thought here, but it was too long for a tweet.
anyway, I want to be able to select tweets for a group (like the lists feature for people) and then twitter assigns a link to a page with all/only those tweets. for instance, when we went to balloon fiesta – a timeline of . . . → Read More: twitter feature wish – linkable tweet collections

first impressions of my new Gaggia Classic
So, I opened it last night and set it up. There has been much debate about whether to go ahead and open it or wait until Christmas morning. The final deciding factor is that, much as it seems to surprise people, this is my first REAL espresso machine and I have firmly believed it . . . → Read More: first impressions of my new Gaggia Classic

Microsoft MyPhone irreparably messed up my phone (?)
I’m not positive but nothing has been the same since I installed it.
My phone is a Motorola Moto Q9c from Alltel, which means I just now got switched to Verizon. I don’t know enough about phones and networks to know if that would have anything to do with it.
I installed Microsoft’s MyPhone, which is an . . . → Read More: Microsoft MyPhone irreparably messed up my phone (?)

extracts and such instead of syrups on my coffee bar
see, even though my coffee bar is built around budget equipment so i can’t make perfect espresso, i still make better stuff than most coffee shops… better beans, better water, better ice, and much less sugar… when the main ingredients are good, you don’t have to mask the flavor :)
anyway, i stock a dozen . . . → Read More: extracts and such instead of syrups on my coffee bar

Watching Laserdiscs in the Digital Age
great, detailed, new(!!) article by Josh Zyber on dealing with the problems trying to get laserdiscs’ analog video to look good on modern digital monitors…

there is much to agree with in both the article and the comments thread…
as an added bonus, there is a great anti-microsoft rant in a user comment…

great debate going on over in a fark thread about it, with plenty of evidentiary pics :)…

well, since we no longer have the amazing laserdisc market in dfw to go and hunt down new treasures, i have finally gotten around to putting our LDDb.com wishlist to use…
the lddb (laserdisc database) is truly well on its way to being the definitive source for ld info and we have had our collection listed there . . . → Read More: our laserdisc wishlist

If you want to know what's going on in my life, reading my Twitter timeline will keep you updated on the day-to-day stuff (and, yeah, I'm on Facebook).
If you want to see what's going on in my life, I regularly post pics and videos from my phone to my Flickr photostream and my YouTube channel, respectively.
(I have reluctantly given up on Zannel for fear of them folding like so many other social media services recently, but I still have countless pics and vids there. And I think my Dashwire and TwitPic days are over.)
I love photography and I also use Flickr to show off my photographs and snapshots, though I don't update it often enough, but here's my personal faves I've taken and here's my faves I WISH I took.
Wakoopa knows all about what desktop software i use, Del.icio.us is where I keep all my favorite bookmarks, and I am always adding interesting news/blog items I've read to my Google Reader shared items.
Mom, Terra, Wesley, and I share a Netflix profile so you can see what kind of stuff we watch. And yes, I own about 350 LaserDiscs and they are all listed on my LDDb collection page.
I don't listen to much music but I go through phases when I look to Last.fm and/or Pandora to try to satisfy my needs.
Btw, people complain because I never use my MySpace and I usually don't even remember I have an account on StumbleUpon and I haven't gone to my LiveJournal in years.
I also own insidiousplots.com,
jesusfreakgeek.com, abqdiscgolf.com, nmdiscgolf.com, and baristopher.com.
Aaaand, for years, everything else kind of ends up in the old stuff directory.
