You remember the old days of the web when page after page was littered with wretched animated .GIF files? I recall countless web pages that ground my old computer’s processor to a halt because of the myriad animations which filled the screen…mostly cheesy graphics of fire burning, people driving cars, or three frames of [...]

Yorkie-what?!??
Thursday, September 28, 2006
Yesterday I had a rather nice exchange with a co-worker. I say nice because she’s not on my team, and in fact is in a department that’s frequently at odds with mine, and folks in her group don’t typically just socialize with folks on my team.
The content of the conversation was a little funny, [...]
DMB
Saturday, September 23, 2006
Whoa…last night I saw a FREAKIN’ INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE.
My friend Robert invited me to come with him to the opening event at the John Paul Jones arena at UVA - The Dave Matthews Band. They were incredible. The musicianship was excellent to witness. The arena was exciting, and the seats were incredible. [...]
Moo. No, really!
Wednesday, September 20, 2006
From a brief overview by the fellas at 37signals, I decided to check out Moo - a company dedicated to making your sundry web-ephemera tangible.
Currently, Moo only handles these delightfully ingenious “calling cards” made (full bleed, apparently) from your cropped photos on Flickr. It’s stupidly easy to use, works like a charm to set [...]
He’s writin’!

Mugs is writing! He’s planning to release a serialized novel over a twelve month period, starting November 1st, via his blog.
READ IT!
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons…
Saturday, September 16, 2006
Ahhh…it’s a fine thing to rouse yourself from a groggy Saturday morning slump with the fine cappuccino of Cafe Gutenberg.
I’m sitting here this morning, quarter-to-nine, having just finished a breakfast panini, and I can’t help but love this coffee/book shop even more in the AM. It’s quiet, and the few patrons here are dicussing [...]
Blah…g

So maybe nobody read the football post, or perhaps even my friends and brother have stopped reading! Either way, I removed the following from the football post so it wouldn’t be lost in the shuffle.
Originally in a post a few days ago:
On an unrelated note - it just struck me that I’ve been doing [...]
An Apple a day…
Tuesday, September 12, 2006
Alright, the Steve Jobs speech at the Apple press event is starting in a minute…
Go to Mac Rumors for auto-updating second-hand coverage.
What’ll it be? I’ll update this post when I have a summary…
UPDATE:
So here’s what happened:
1. Updated video iPods, better storage, not many new features.
2. New Nanos…multi-color aluminum like ye olde Mini.
3. New Shuffle [...]
That’s their little style.

Yesterday Dave and I went for a stroll around Shockhoe Bottom and Church Hill, takin’ pictures as we walked. It was a good day to be outside for a few hours, and some of my snaps turned out decent.
Here they are - they’re the first 20 in my list.
Wasted
Saturday, September 9, 2006
Wasted day, wasted time. Wasted opportunity. I have what’s essentially man time all weekend long, because Valerie is taking a prep course for her certification exam. What have I accomplished?
I spent 4 hours watching cartoons this morning. I got my hair cut. I bought rat traps and a weed eater. [...]
