Home Sick

August 24th, 2010

After a night of strange dreams where I was discussing the pros and cons of public transportation with a blue alien plant in my backyard, I awoke to find myself feeling ill.  So, if you don’t mind I think I’ll keep this post short and stuffy.

In the meantime, let me just put this right here:

On Writing

July 2nd, 2010

My favorite quote on writing:

Writing is easy.  All you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper
until drops of blood form on your forehead.
    - Gene Fowler

Happy Friday. Seeing as how I have Monday off from work, I’ll see y’all back here on Tuesday. Hope you have a safe and sane 4th!

June 25th, 2010

Forgive me, but I’m a new father and am very impressionable on the proper ways to raise a child.  Tell me, is this the route I should take?

*Throws up the devil hornsRock on!

…and that’s how I wrap up a weak blogging week.  Seems I put almost no effort into my posts this week.  Heck, I’m impressed that I managed to catch my tyops.  Ah well, some weeks are like that I guess.

Here’s hoping that the pre-sickness feeling I’ve been experiencing since Thursday doesn’t blow up into a full-fledged illness.  ’Cause, ya know, I have a few trail runs that I want to attack this weekend.

WordPress 3.0

June 22nd, 2010

Wow.  Color me impressed.

I just upgraded from WordPress 2.8 to the just-released 3.0 “Thelonious”.  With an improved menu system, improved bulk updating, custom menu management, a slick interface and snazzy new themes, I’m quite impressed with this new incarnation of WordPress.

Sure…I’m not quite as excited as this:

…but you get the general idea.

If you haven’t updated to 3.0 yet, what are you waiting for?
