OK, now this is just creepy.

I got my ears lowered today. No one noticed.

Slashdot reports that students from MIT have stolen the Cal Tech Cannon.
The kids who did this better be careful that they don’t brag too loudly about their hack. When I was at Auburn there was a fraternity on College street with a large Confederate era cannon on its front lawn. Some friends and I thought [...]

There’s this thing going on called CSS Naked Day in which sites are supposed to turn off their Cascading Style Sheets all day today, April 5. It’s supposed to promote web standards, although I don’t see how in the world it does that. It does, however, seem to promote an awareness that CSS is the [...]

This morning while perusing the Make: Blog, I discovered a site entirely dedicated to different ways to lace your shoes. And here I’ve been doing mine the old-fashioned way. But my Sperry topsiders only have two sets of lace-holes! Maybe I should start wearing loafers.

If anyone reading this podcasts, would you please head over to my other blog and help me out with some questions I have about podcasting?

Tonight I got the urge to try something new, so I put together my first podcast. I bought a new lapel microphone a week or so ago, and I wanted to test it out to see how well it worked with my camcorder and computer. Turns out it works fairly well with both. It took [...]
