D'oh.
Well, I said that this weekend I wouldn't go to the club. Too late now. Moontribe was at 1015 - it's some pretty decent stuff. Guess I'll have to save the book for next weekend. Forum coder... An Update
Yep! I'm still around, really! (I'm still waiting for the prizes for DFAD finalists to come in, so don't ask, you should get those sooner or later.) I'm still enjoying the development gig.... DFAD Finalists: Redux
So I finally did announce the ten finalists for Developer for a Day 3. Man, some of those were hard choices to make. I just want you to know that if you're not in the top ten, that doesn't mean... Today's the Big Day!
Yep, that's right. AFC and NFC Championship games! The Falcons at Philly, and the Patriots in Pittsburgh. Huh, I just realized that that means that on the same game, there will be two conference... DFAD Finalists!
Well, now that I have your attention... Just reminding you that finalists should be announced this Sunday. Stay tuned. I decided that I won't post the finalists' entries until after the revision... Now I Know What English Professors Feel Like
So I've spent a lot of my free time recently going through the multitude of Developer for a Day entries. It's very time-consuming. I've printed some of them out so I can read them on the BART train... It's 2005! I guess!
So, I just looked at my calendar and realized it's outdated. Apparently it's a new year. Who knew? Anyway, because you're all SO fascinated by my utterly fascinating existence, I think I'll clue... Thanksgiving in Vegas
When you think of Thanksgiving, what comes to mind? Dinner with the family? Football? Yeah, I sort of had that rather traditional perception of the holiday weekend myself. That's not what... Developer for a Day
Those four words have a lot of significance for me. As you probably know by now, Developer for a Day is a forum contest that I've run twice so far. The general idea is that participants submit a... An Ode to Steam
So here I am at work, at the ungodly hour of 5 AM. I actually worked the entire night, until midnight when, as you know, Half-Life 2 became unlocked. I was interested to see how the Steam servers... He's Still Funny After All These Years...
Last night I went to see George Carlin live for a new standup routine. As expected, it was pretty crass. That's always what he's excelled at. He's apparently going to be doing an HBO special... Wow...
I'm currently watching MTV2 right now. You know, the network that was originally supposed to show the actual music videos when the original MTV became nothing but Real World and Carson Daly.... And Weekends are Fun Again...
I don't know what's gotten into me all of a sudden. But lately I've been doing a lot of partying every weekend. Honestly I'm typically kind of a shy guy, especially when it comes to meeting a... Look Elsewhere for a Coherent Theme
I haven't updated in awhile, so here I go. The week's over, and it's been a busy one. My first full week as a developer and all that. Man, it's rewarding, if challenging. See, the most... San Francisco Sunset
The title of this post refers to the wonderful view I got as I flew back to California, with the sun setting down beyond the misty haze of the mighty Pacific, resulting in a warm-colored sight for... #700 for Bonds? (...and a note about DFAD)
So yesterday I went to Miller Park here in Milwaukee. It was the first time I had been to this particular park, and it was really nice, much nicer than the old County Stadium. Lots of places to... Greetings from the Cheese State
So here I am in Wisconsin for my "vacation," and so far it's been alright. I came in Friday night, and yesterday my brother took me to Six Flags Great America, a theme park down in northern... Vacations vs. Trips
Now, even though I just became a developer, I'm going away from work for ten days starting Friday! It was something I had planned for long before the dev thing came up, so I had already finalized... Insert Interesting Topic about going to San Jose Here
This weekend I went down to San Jose to hang out with a friend from college. Long distance, but the rates aren't so bad for public transit -- about $8 or so each way. Saturday morning he took me... Here Comes Daredevil!
And now we have journals. Kind of nifty, if I do say so myself. To be perfectly honest, I have yet to think of a super-coherent theme for this blog, but I'm sure that will eventually be settled...
