You Be The Judge

Wednesday, June 30th, 2004

Thorough reporting or subtle insult? You be the judge. Gaines, the 15th overall pick of the 2003 NBA draft, saw little time as a rookie with the Magic. He averaged only 1.8 points in 9.6 minutes for the league’s worst team.Source: ESPN.com Here, now let me try. A couple of years ago, Dustin won the [...]

One Two

Monday, June 28th, 2004

Regular Readers: Help JohnnyH make a decision. Other HTML/CSS Inclined Readers (if you exist): Please explain to me, in your best elitest attitude, why putting together a 3,000 line style sheet complete with innumerable browser specific hacks, is “better” than using tables or, worse yet, *gasp* nested tables? Oh how I yearn for the lashing [...]

Car-ma

Saturday, June 26th, 2004

Does it bother anyone else that a good reason for fussing someone out in this world is for “stealing” a parking space that is exactly 1 car over from the spot the guy had to “settle” on. And is it even worth pointing out that the spot he got is actually closer to his apartment [...]

Concessions

Friday, June 25th, 2004

This was, by far, the least productive week of the summer for me. I managed only to get a couple of pages written to start my thesis and did zero coding. There were some good reasons for not being productive (Jeff being in/leaving town, Beth coming back) and there were some bad reasons (my obsession [...]

Kowloon?

Friday, June 25th, 2004

Take Jeff’s comments on JohnnyConvo … “Whoo-weeeee doggy, it’s hotter than hell way over here in Kowloon. Yes siree. And it’s the darndest thing, but i’ll be damned if I ain’t the tallest person here.” Add a recent article about the upcoming Batman movie… At a converted airplane hangar an hour north of London, his [...]

This Isn’t Supposed To Sound Angry But It Does (But Not Anymore)

Sunday, June 20th, 2004

[Edited] Sometimes you just have to edit yourself. I’m semi-excited about turning up at the top of Google search results even if it is only just for a fairly random combination of words. Given the above, that is totally not why I stayed up until 4:30 a.m. last Thursday/Friday (I can’t remember and don’t care [...]

Connect With GMail

Saturday, June 19th, 2004

My growing frustration with finding ways to get rid of my GMail invites inspired me to create this. GMail Connect. I call it, and if you have invitations please please please go sign up and start handing them out. It’s the quickest and easiest way I know of to spread the love.

JohnnyH, as an apology to you for the “confusion” of my last post, I pass this along to you and the rest of my readership … bowman (no, not Nick) via David via Dave Barry. Enjoy.

It’s Shocking To Me …

Thursday, June 17th, 2004

… Office Depot was having a sale on a laptop for four days ending yesterday that, after rebates, the lowest priced configuration came to $599. $599 for a laptop! Wow. … That had it not been for JDawg’s keen eye yesterday at More Better Purchase, I would have missed the release (and associated $10 off [...]
