Birthday Bits April 28, 2009
So I turn 36 on Sunday. Pretty sure I can still claim ‘mid-30’s’ at this point, though I’m getting perilously close to the ‘late-30’s.’ Upcoming or recent birthday-related bits follow.

Introducing my Photoblog April 27, 2009
As anyone who’s been paying any amount of attention to my ramblings for long knows, I occasionally pick up a camera, snap off a few shots, and hope that I’ve got something worth showing off. I’ve finally decided to move forward on a project that’s been rattling around in the back of my head for a while, and I’m going to see if I might actually be able to sell the occasional print.

Dreamhost Does Good April 23, 2009
Ooooh. See those last few words? That’s nice to see. ‘Unlimited disk and bandwidth, forever!’ No worries about storing large files (not that I tend to do that), no worries about surcharges on the (very) off chance that I get Slashdotted or Dugg. Just keep paying my yearly bill, and I’m set.

Archie vs. Pulp: Common People (Again) April 23, 2009
Apparently something has changed at UMG, and they’ve decided that graciously allowing fans to use bits of their artist’s music in projects like this isn’t kosher, because this morning I got notice that my video was blocked worldwide.

The Narcissism Epidemic April 22, 2009
Last I checked, most of our lives don’t require all that attitude. Treating the whole world as if it works for you doesn’t suggest you’re special, it means you’re an ass.

Ranking the Star Trek Films April 22, 2009
After having spent much of the past few weeks working my way through the Star Trek film series, this is how I rank them, best to worst. Obviously, this is my personal ranking. Feel free to disagree.

The End of Empathy April 18, 2009
What’s the point of all this? Well, aside from the obvious conclusion of Jason’s piece — ‘In summary, how we treat each other does matter. It matters because, without empathy, our lives are shallow, self-centered and meaningless.’ — I’m really not sure. I do believe, though, that this is a real problem.

Norwescon 32 Wrapup April 17, 2009
It took roughly a week to get here, but really, I don’t figure that’s too bad, given my usual photowhoreish ways. Just a few minutes ago, the last of my shots from Norwescon made it up to Flickr.

CSI Gets Geeky April 17, 2009
I don’t often talk much about my TV watching, but one of the shows that Prairie’s managed to get me into is CSI, and last night’s episode, ‘A Space Oddity,’ was so worth it. Bottom line: great episode, and worth watching if you’re a fan of CSI, Trek, BSG, or any combination of the above.

Hello Fellow Utilikiltarians! April 16, 2009
The sketch that Shari did of me in one of my Utilikilts was just featured in this month’s anti-catalogue newsletter!

Who’s Defining ‘X-Rated’ Here? April 14, 2009
Sorry, AP, but there’s more than a little bit of hyperbole there. Almost having a bit of accidental boobage is PG, maybe PG-13 if her top actually had fallen off (and even that used to be a good solid PG). ‘Nearly X-rated’ would be something very, very different.

This Will Disappoint Mom… April 13, 2009
I’m not quite in to full-on ‘DANGER skullet’ territory, but I’m close, and with the added impetus of putting employment before vanity, it’s probably only a matter of days or weeks (at the outside) before the curls go away.

Norwescon 32: My (Preliminary) Schedule April 9, 2009
While I’m not at all happy to be unemployed, I have to admit that it does make some things pretty convenient. This weekend, it means that for the first time, I’ll be hitting three days of Norwescon, adding a few hours today (Thursday) to my usual Friday/Saturday run.

DIY Bicycle Camera Mount April 8, 2009
Yes, there are already a ton of posts on the ‘net telling people how to do this, and I’m indebted to them all, as I read most of them when planning out my approach. Still — this is how I did it, so I’m going to add to the chatter.

Ritz Cameras Closing 11 Washington Stores April 3, 2009
My former employer, Ritz Cameras, has just announced that they’re closing more than 300 stores across the country. Of those, eleven are based here in Washington. I’d actually heard a little bit about this through a former coworker whose store is one of the eleven, but I had no idea it was going to be this widespread.

Crazy Like A Fax April 2, 2009
Back in 1996, this fax came in at the job I was working. We saved it for a month, then were going to throw it away when I decided that it was too gloriously insane to lose. I laminated it for safekeeping, and have had it ever since then. Gotta love the crazy.

Why I Wish NIN’s ‘Strobe Light’ Was Real April 1, 2009
As the day wore on, I started thinking about just why this particular joke appealed to me so much, and why — as horrid as this may seem to some people — yes, I wish this one wasn’t a hoax. If this were a real album, I’d gladly pay good money to pick it up.
