I just upgraded to Movable Type 4.0, and after a few snafus (that I admit were entirely my fault), I finally have it up and running. And holy hell, is it ever beautiful. Not only does it look completely different (and much better than previous versions), but it seems to have imported all of my…

Take a look at this pathetic burger! If you think it’s funny, I’d appreciate a Digg.

I started talking about Digital De-Cluttering on Tuesday, and continued yesterday, but today I want to talk about de-cluttering in general. Why am I suddenly on a huge de-cluttering kick? Well, I wouldn’t call it sudden. Remeber, getting caught up and staying caught up is one my new year’s resolutions! That includes getting my cluttered…

Yesterday I talked about deleting old e-mails to help reduce how cluttered my digital life is and increase productivity. Today I’m going to talk about extending that ideology beyond the inbox. My first computer didn’t have a hard drive. I had to save everything on 5 1/4 inch floppy disks (link provided because some people…

Some of you have noticed my instant messenger custom message late last week said, “Digital De-clutter Day”. A couple of people asked what that was, and I thought other readers of the blog might be interested as well. You know how you accrue stuff over the years, and it just piles up in closets and…

I was glancing through my spam before I deleted it to make sure no legitimate e-mail got through, when I came across this: Hello my friend! I am ready to kill myself and eat my dog, if medicine prices here (http://secondprobable.cn) are bad. Look, the site and call me 1-800 if its wrong.. My dog…

Two great directors passed away yesterday: Ingmar Bergman and Michelangelo Antonioni.

I’m listening to The Reminder by Feist and a thought just occurred to me: when it comes to advertising, indie is the new techno. A few years ago, if you wanted to sell a product, your commercial needed techno music (or some kind of appropriate electronica). Club/rave culture was a strong selling point, despite how…

I was struck with an interesting thought this morning in the shower (as is often the case). As you probably know, in the United States, the letter “z” is pronounced “zee”, whereas in most other countries, it’s pronounced “zed”. It occurred to me that, while the latter is more commonly accepted, it totally screws up…
