 And here are the widgets, plugins, badges, and other stuff to make my site cool :)
If there's anything else on the site that you wonder what it is, where it came from, or how it's done, feel free to contact me. This site, and all similar endeavors, are dedicated to my dad, who always encouraged my growth as a techie.

i used to make this post every year and it’s been awhile since i did but, this year, i have an updated version of it… mainly because i found that the message board the links went to is no longer around, but, the internet archive still has copies… so, here is a copy/paste from the 2004 . . . → Read More: My annual 9/11 post i think EVERYONE should read (v2) just a few links, not a comprehensive list… i was just going to add these links to the sidebar “looking at” list, but, they are scattered and there seems to be no one gateway point to get to all of them, so, i’ll put them together here… most people know what i have to say on . . . → Read More: the whole “Ebert on games” thing PointlessWasteOfTime.com » A Gamers’ Manifesto or “20 things gamers want from the seventh generation of game consoles” and wow, this guy nails it, even if he spends a lot of time being comical… (warning, language that some may . . . → Read More: A Gamers’ Manifesto this was in the march 2004 issue of Nybble, and it has taken me this long to post it… Hey, since we’re now living in the time of e-mail and the more common use of the written language, it is time for an English lesson, mmmkay.

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. |
