Repercussions of an attempted mugging

So, two guys tried to jump me the other night while i was walking home from a friend’s house. Although the whole episode only lasted about a minute and I managed to get away unharmed and with all my possessions, I’ve noticed some changes in my thoughts and behavior. I’m going to use this blog […]

Just installed iphone wordpress app

Testing this out. Don’t have much to say. My girlfriend blogs way more than I do but is stuck on a tmobile blackberry pearl for a while. She often hops on my mac, filling my browser history with perez Hilton and facebook. Now she’ll probably be snatching my iPhone away from me. Typing is easier […]

Google Reader Sharing with Specific People

I love sharing items on Google Reader, but there are many posts I read that I only want to share with a specific person. I have been emailing those posts (just press ‘E’) to my specific friends. I feel fine doing this in most cases, especially if the other person doesn’t use Google Reader. But […]

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia: Watch It

My friend told me I should be watching this show. And since I’ve found it to be hilarious, I decided to embed a funny clip from an episode. What’s amazing about hulu.com is that you can select the start and end time for embedded videos.

This post was written May 1st, but I didn’t publish it. So here it is.
Bike-sharing program is launching in Washington, D.C. next month. Similar to Zipcar and PhillyCarShare, users pay an annual fee ($40) and can pickup bikes from computerized racks stationed around the city. I remember watching a film about Holland called ‘Sex, Drugs […]

Wall Street Journal Clippings

So, about a month ago I discovered that my girlfriend has a free subscription to the WSJ. On the mornings that someone doesn’t steal it, I like to skim through it while eating breakfast. I started clipping things that I found interesting or wanted to remember/read more about. Instead, I am just going to write […]

Google Reader Shortcuts?

I have long taken advantage of Gmail’s Keyboard Shortcuts and have since graduated to the power of Better Gmail2, a firefox addon.
Many times I’ve thought, “I wish there were keyboard shortcuts for reader.” I’ve even looked for firefox addons for reader. Today I found that Google Reader has its own native shortcuts.
To get […]

Music Status on Google Talk via Winamp

“Available”…boring and not a word I would often use to describe myself or status. Why not share with your friends which song you’re listening to?
There are other ways of sharing your music listening (last.fm audioscrobbling, for example), but nothing is more ‘available’ to my friends than my google talk status.

The Google Talk desktop application […]
