Yes, I know this is like the oldest thing in the book and everyone has a Twitter account and the Fail Whale is cute and all… Yes, I get it. My mom had a Twitter before I did.
Anyway, I have a serious moral contention with the Internet sometimes, and it’s not that the Internet is [...]
…that yesterday marked the start of SHARK WEEK!
I’d like to personally apologize for the lack of posting; the job switch has had me very busy. I can’t wait to get back into the swing of things. Look forward to my best and worst uniforms in all of the major sports, coming up soon!
Well, the time has finally come for me to move on. Today is my last day working as a Graphic and Web Designer at Rice University. I’m moving on to work 100% for a Web design company—something I wish I could have been doing 100% of the time I was at Rice. I leave with [...]
For anyone who cares, Firefox 3 is being released today. In a cool promo attempt, they’re attempting to get into the Guinness Book of World Records by having it be the Most Downloaded Software in 24 Hours. I think that’s pretty brilliant.

It’s the city of big plans and no rules, beat-the-heat tunnels and loop-the-loop highways, world-class museums and [...]
The New York Times recently launched their “TimesMachine”, a—wait for it—time machine that can take you back to memorable moments and show you the newspaper that ran for that day.
Seeing as I used to work for a newspaper, love layout and design as well as history, this is really cool to me. If you get [...]
Our puppy of over 14 years had to be put down yesterday. I don’t do well with this kind of thing—I’m never exactly sure how to express my feelings. But my sister does. And she did a perfect job of capturing Mollypuppy’s life.
As with most of the people close to me in life, I hardly [...]
Here’s a story that has been making its rounds lately. There is this girl named Sara Tucholsky who plays for Western Oregon’s softball team. She comes up to bat against Central Washington and finally connects with a ball, hitting her first ever home run. She starts to take her trot around the bases, but as [...]
