image bandits

I made it onto Ain’t It Cool News again, although this time they may not like what I’ve done. I posted a group of MATRIX RELOADED photos a few months before the film opened, and I’m constantly finding that random people are directly linking those images from their web sites. It’s sort of flattering, but […]

since I’m already geeking out

Normally I don’t talk about my programming, but I figured I’d bring up some stuff while I’m at it. I have two cool little JavaScript tricks that I came up with recently which I’d like to show you. These are considerably different than the code I recently posted which I wrote in junior high for […]

ie & xp sp2 & javascript… oh my!

You script kiddies out there that still write batch files may be interested to know that Windows XP SP2 causes some weird behavior with Internet Explorer and the command line switches. Specifically, you can’t pass javascript in now, so you have to put that javascript someplace else (preferrably on the web page you’re loading). Just […]

the disclaimer

As I slowly edge toward pushing my redesigned site, I’ve decided that it’s time to come up with an adequate disclaimer statement. I copied this one from a guy that does a lot of programming type blogging. I need to put this someplace in my footer, I guess. CYA management can be so much fun. […]

lake of the aisles minneapolis

Okay, I was wrong. I did cardio today instead after some major goofage. In total it was 3 miles of which 2.6 miles were around the Lake of the Isles. My ears friggin’ hurt because it also happens to be 35 degrees outside and dropping to a low of 20 tonight. Tuesday night will be […]

jolene

Listen to the Sisters of Mercy cover of Johnny Cash’s Jolene. The Sisters are now my new favorite old band that should have been my new favorite new band 20 years ago. Geez, has that much time gone by? It doesn’t feel like it cuz I look good. ๐Ÿ™‚

why is it so bright in here?

I’m back from my five day training trip in Chicago. I now know all about JSR 168 web portal architecture. This is a technology that breaks up parts of web pages into ”portlets.” It’s good times all around. At least now I know *exactly* what I’m going to be doing for the rest of the […]

the superman stormtrooper

Hey now. This is a short little entry I’m making because another blogger linked to my Superman deleted scenes. He requested the scene where the ”stormtrooper” gets blown away. In the extended DVD release that came out in 2001, you see the Kryptonian council detecting that Jor-El is using ”too much energy” so surely something […]

you haul? yes.

I spent the last weekend packing up things into boxes I procured from Lowe’s. I did manage to hang out with my friends Kevin and Steve on Friday night, only to be negatively affected from a mix of intoxicants. I should have never opened that bottle of Yellowtail Chiraz! Ugh. I recovered enough on Sunday […]

packing up is hard to do

I had a couple of experiences in the last two weeks that made me wonder about the local moniker City of Brotherly Love. I’ll just touch on the highlights. I was asking a guy sitting next to an empty bench if he planned to sit down. He said no. Just as I was about to […]
