The simplicity of WordPress upgrades

March 5, 2010

One of the com­plaints I have heard about not run­ning your own Word­Press instal­la­tion ver­sus going with a man­aged ser­vice like Blog­ger or Live­Jour­nal is that it is dif­fi­cult to main­tain.  Specif­i­cally, that it is dif­fi­cult to upgrade.  This is why, about six months ago, a worm went around and took down a bunch of […]

#10yearsago, a time-lapse glimpse

December 31, 2009

There is a #10yearsago meme going around Twit­ter.  Because I am unable to fit my response into 140 char­ac­ters, you get a blog post.
I was liv­ing in Cal­i­for­nia in the afore­men­tioned cot­tage house.  I was a lot more gothic/industrial back then (at least, on the out­side; I think I will always be on the inside).  I […]

The Mysterious Explorations of Jasper Morello

March 28, 2009

The Mys­te­ri­ous Explo­rations of Jasper Morello is a mix of steam­punk, a sil­hou­et­ted Edward Gorey, and a Kafka-like nar­ra­tive (I was going to say “Kafkaesque,” but that word is entirely too overused and has a slightly dif­fer­ent mean­ing.) This short film is really quite good and got nom­i­nated for a num­ber of awards.  Fix […]

In which Norman is confused & annoyed by deep snow

December 21, 2008

Norman, our newish kitty–the stray one we adopted–is only about two years old. This means two things. First, he is crazy-full of energy. Sec­ond, he is not really old enough to remem­ber much snow in Port­land. Last year it snowed a tiny bit on Christ­mas, but noth­ing like the snow­poca­lypse we have been get­ting this […]

Dr. Horrible and the disco Dementor!

October 28, 2008

Dr. Hor­ri­ble and the disco Dementor!

I have my Won­der­flo­nium, but the iPhone is not pic­tured.  Kim’s cos­tume was quite elab­o­rate for being thrown together a few hours before the party.  She had net­ting sewn into the mask’s eyes, even.  She got lots of com­pli­ments, even though it usu­ally took a lit­tle while for peo­ple to […]

The food chain in action

October 21, 2008

“There is a mouse-width trough through my loaf of bread. I think our cats are defec­tive.”
–me, 2008-10-07
It now appears that we have a pair of mousers.  Last week­end, Kim dis­cov­ered that Nor­man caught a mouse in the back yard.  I don’t find the video disturbing–if I hadn’t known it was a real mouse, I might […]

Dharma Wants You!  Yes, you–over there, with the hidden video camera.

July 29, 2008

For those that may have missed out, there seems to be a new game for the LOST tele­vi­sion show!  Those that saw the sea­son finale may remem­ber the com­mer­cial for Octa­gon Global Recruit­ing.  This hinted at something-or-other hap­pen­ing at Comi­con.  If you signed up to be on the mail­ing list, one of the emails you […]

You Suck At Photoshop 6

February 15, 2008

There’s a new You Suck at Pho­to­shop, the Liquify tool.  Unfor­tu­nately, I feel they’re get­ting a lit­tle less funny over time.  There also seems to be some kind of game or Chaotic Fic­tion wrapped in with the videos (see also: this Unfic­tion thread for more detail.)

Superbowl commericals podcast feed?

February 5, 2008

Does any­one know of an RSS (video pod­cast) feed for this year’s Super­bowl com­mer­cials?  Google has failed me in my searches (or maybe my search-fu for this par­tic­u­lar sub­ject is not up to par.)
I’m look­ing for down­load­able and iPod/iPhone-syncable con­tent.  I real­ize that there are prob­a­bly quite a few on YouTube, but I am not too […]

You Suck at Photoshop 5

February 2, 2008

There is a new You Suck at Photoshop:

Space­Bass over at Despoiler has dis­cov­ered that it prob­a­bly isn’t just some guy mak­ing funny videos, but that an actual mar­ket­ing com­pany is producing them.

January 26, 2008

You Suck At Pho­to­shop now [pre­vi­ously men­tioned] has a part 4 online now.  Such bit­ter­ness.  Such hilarity.

Notes from the overground

January 19, 2008

1. Near-freezing tem­per­a­tures today: the weather could not make up its mind whether to rain, snow, or hail this morn­ing.
2. Mas­sage.  Yeay!  My back’s still pretty f’ed up, yo.  Usu­ally, the mas­sage helps, but today things were espe­cially bad.  I’ve lost weight, though–most of my pants no longer fit me–but my back is a twisted […]
