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.

the day my relationship with Terra changed
It’s fun and even useful to have a personal site that archives all my social media updates – Twitter, Flickr, Facebook and such – and then is searchable so I can go back and see things in the past.
Yesterday, I came across something interesting.
See, Terra and I were friends for a long time before we became . . . → Read More: the day my relationship with Terra changed

Oaty Veggie Meatloaf – a recipe to perfect
So, I start with 2 or 3 pounds of whatever ground meat…
Then I add lots of oats and finely diced (we’re talking relish) onions and peppers until it looks right – But it’s ALOT – maybe a fourth of the total mixture and I always wish I’d added more. I don’t ever measure so I’m . . . → Read More: Oaty Veggie Meatloaf – a recipe to perfect

A quick rant on why I am so against a Blade Runner franchise
This is a comment I posted on Facebook that I’ll lazily paste here, rather than write an expansion.
I began by posting this to Twitter: “Building a franchise around Blade Runner is like building an amusement park around The Smithsonian.”
And then, here is what I followed up with on Facebook…
It’s what I’ve seen happen to Alien.
The franchise . . . → Read More: A quick rant on why I am so against a Blade Runner franchise

i couldn’t help it – i just kept coming back and tinkering…
i once heard someone say that photoshop should only let you work on a pic for ten minutes – something like that… i definitely overworked the last two, to varying degrees…

even i get tired of sifting through so many of my photos, hoping to bump into a good one, so i finally made a “best of” folder…
you can peruse it here…
it is the stuff i think is best, not just sentimental value…

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.
