I’ve been a big fan of the ReCAPTCHA service since it launched and was eager to implment it on my blog when MT4 was released last year. It was a complete kludge to get it working, but I eventually did figure out the voodoo necessary. You would think I’d leave well enough alone, but alas, […]

Don’t Call Us… We’ll Call You
Since switching to Mac OS over a year and a half ago, I have been in hog heaven. Truly. Almost every day I’m reminded of just how elegant and, dare I say, FUN it is to actually work. I’m not kidding, it’s a true joy and I’m reminded of this nearly daily because I also […]
Upgraded to 4.1
I just upgraded the blog to version 4.1 Personal so that I can kick the tires and become more familiar with all of the new changes. Just on my initial inspection, I can already see that this is what 4.0 should have been. Well, they don’t call it “cutting edge” for nothing I guess.
Google Docs — Now With Gears!
I read on the Google Docs Blog today that Google Gears has been enabled for Google Docs. Given that I’ve become quite enamored with Google’s software products, like Docs Calendar and of course Gmail, I was eager to try being able to edit documents offline with Google Gears.

Mix Tapes Are Back Baby!
In the immortal words of Bender, “I’m back baby!” Well, mix tapes are at least. 🙂 Via a twitter message late last night, I saw that Mike Rohde had posted an 80’s mix tape. I’ve been listening to it this morning and I have to say that it rocks and I’m happy to see that […]
JJ Abrams TED Talk

For those that don’t know JJ Abrams is the genius behind, Alias, Lost, Mission Impossible III and the recently released Cloverfield. Consistent throughout all his work is that there is always an element of mystery. […]

Google AdSense Thinks I’m Gay
I was cleaning out my Inbox today and I came across a screenshot that I had forgotten all about. A few months back I was looking at the blog and noticed that Google Ads had served up a very interesting ad. Well, see for yourself at this link. Yep, Google AdSense thought that my site […]
Comments Fixed
I’ve been bogged down by a series of large projects and haven’t had the time to focus on the blog much. One of the snags I ran into was implementing ReCaptcha to the comments. It was kind of implemented, but MT decided that the plugin should work, just not display the captcha. After digging and […]
