I Got a Webdesign Gig!

No, this isn’t the end of my long-running job hunt. The hunt goes on. Instead, I’ve been commissioned to redesign the website for a local organization. I probably shouldn’t give too many details about my client at the moment, except to say that the person who commissioned me also happens to be a friend of […]

My Sordid Love Affair with Google Chrome

As I’ve stated numerous times on this blog and elsewhere, I am a hardcore Firefox user. I love the look, feel, and utility of Mozilla’s browser, and I’ve often tried to convert friends to my side on the new Browser Wars. I am a self-proclaimed Browser Zealot, and I honestly believe that all other web […]

Digital Detox

Right now, I’m doing something that I haven’t done in years: I’m composing without a computer. That’s right, I’m going old school with pen and paper. Of course, none of you can actually tell that I’m physically writing since you’re reading this online after I’ve typed it up, so trust me on this one. But […]

The Great Facebook Challenge

Being the social media junkie that I am, I’m sure many of you are wonder how this challenge is going. Basically, I freakin’ hate it! Okay, perhaps that a bit of an overstatement. I’m actually […]

Losing Privacy

I’m having a bit of a rude awakening about the value of being open on the web. Twice in the last two weeks I’ve had people stalk me for various reasons, finding all of my accounts (YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, my Blog, etc.) and learning more information about me (some of it inexplicable) than I’m personally […]

Haruhiism and the Power of Social Media

Today I get to talk about two of my favorite subjects which rarely overlap: Anime and Social Media. Say what you will about Web 2.0 and Social Media, but these buzzwords and the ideas they represent are changing how we digest information and how many companies do business. Anime is just one of many industries […]

Firefox: All the Cool Kids Are Doing It!

Have you heard? Firefox 3 is being officially released on Tuesday. I’ve been testing this release since the fifth Beta, and I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the changes. For an overview of Firefox 3, check out the full review by Mozilla Links. They do a much […]

What’s in a Tweet? Some Thoughts on Twitter

So one unexpected consequence of my flirtation with FriendFeed is that I finally started to use Twitter. The “Microblogging” service has always been one of those websites I never quite understood, much like the “social bookmarking” site del.icio.us before it. I always thought “well, why wouldn’t you just blog/email/IM instead?” But since everyone else on FriendFeed […]
