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.

Ten things that Microsoft and TiVo must each do to win the living room

http://features.engadget.com/entry/1882345133499767/

there is much to agree with in both the article and the comments thread…

horror night

seems every time we meet someone that actually has a real interest in movies, it is always horror… usually cheap, sleazy, b-grade horror… we try to be open-minded and go with the idea that maybe there is just something we don’t know and perhaps it is simply a matter of broadening our horizons, so, . . . → Read More: horror night

Last year, something remarkable happened in the world of cinema. Blockbuster Video, the country’s dominant rental chain, announced that from that point on it officially preferred . . . → Read More: the end of whining about “those black bars”?
