  • The Ongoing Spam Battle

    After a recent deluge of spam comments to my blog, I have decided to block all e-mails coming from the mail.com domain. While mail.com appears to be a legitimate service, I get enough spam coming from their servers to warrant blocking it. Adding further to the decision is the fact that I have never, in…

  • It’s All About Who You Blog

    Thanks to the internet, and blogging in particular, we have entered a new phase of connectivity with society: the ability to have 2-way communication directly with celebrities. In fairly recent memory, the only reasonable way “common people” (such as myself) could communicate with celebrities was by writing them a letter and sending it to some…

  • Coming Up For Air

    I’ve been writing code at home, at work, and on the bus for over a week now. Remember those 2 websites I mentioned? The first one is due this week, and it has been providing some interesting (read: annoying) challenges. While I’ve taken short breaks here and there, I haven’t had a day to myself…

  • Worst. Hours. Evar.

    Most people are familiar with the term, “banker’s hours,” which basically means a short working day. We all know that banks have lousy hours, but the United States Postal Service could give any bank a run for its money. When do you work? The stereotypical work day is from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M., with…

  • Feast or Famine

    I haven’t written all week because I’ve been working my butt off. Friday night found me sitting at the computer editing a video for local ad agency MWR. I worked on it all weekend, and again on Monday and Tuesday nights. I’ll be working on it again this weekend, trying to get it done. I…

  • A Letter to Starwood Vacation Ownership

    Dear Starwood Vacation Ownership, STOP CALLING ME! You have called me several times in the past few days. I know it’s you, because you keep calling from (909) 388-5000 and a simple Google search reveals people complaining about your lousy (not to mention potentially illegal) telemarketing. Did you notice how I never answered? That’s going…

  • Trackbacks Disabled

    Due to copious amounts of trackback spam, the feature has been temporarily disabled. I found a solution and will implement it this weekend, after which I will re-enable trackbacks.

  • Bond, Thomas James Bond

    “Actually, it’s Brown, but it’s a common mistake.” That was the joke this afternoon while going over the itinerary for my planned-at-the-last minute trip to the Quileute reservation in La Push, WA tomorrow. Yes, I said tomorrow. And when did I know I was going? Shortly after lunch today. I should point out that this…

  • Who is Barack Obama?

    I just received the following e-mail from someone I expected to be quite liberal (all spelling and grammar is as I received it): Who is Barack Obama? Something that should be considered when you make your choice. If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts…it is very scary…
