Topical
I throw a snowball at Sharkboy’s head.
“Hey!”
“I’m just reopening my snowball research facilities.”
Ew. No Thanks!
One, Two, Three, Four…
…I smell a blog war!
Slashdot readers attack Cory Doctorow with impunity. And I thought there was serious infighting within the Gay community.
To see Slashdot rant about BoingBoing is like seeing crack whores shouting at each other on a corner downtown.
Tora! Tora! Server!
Sorry for being down a couple hours there, kids. Apparently my host server was the site of a Denial Of Service attack. Kudos to C at Expressweb.ca for getting me back so soon after the assault. No word as to where it came from.
Cool! I’m 100% web initiated now:
1) worked in porn
2) worked in online banking
3) worked up to the dot com collapse
4) had a virus associated with a file on my site
5) Denial of Service attack.
All I have left is to have my server flooded because I’m all meme-y.
WYSIWYGoogle
Online web publishing! AJAX programming! Geocities on sterioids! Useful?
Probably not.
Cool?
Damn Straight!
My first attempt at using googlepages was hampered by cut outs and error messages. But I got this up. If you have a Gmail account, you can play. Ask me if you dont have an account. Go ahead. Ask.
It’s not a Bloat…
Two more have signed on to sail with us on the December cruise! Welcome Evil Panda and Grizz! You’ll be sitting beside me at dinner and licking stingrays in no time at all! The count is now at 7 confirmed! At this rate we’ll need a banquet table.
Yee frikkin HAW!

New Found Media
Some of you might have seen this stuff before but what the foosh, eh? Here are some videos I made in New Media School that show of my 733T skilz…
Andrew was my first ever experiment with drag n drop video/sound mixing
Rent a Life is my first and only Blue Screened experience
Deadrobot and Robot are a couple camera sweeps over my ever faithful mascot. I love how his aerial dot stays in place…
This Week’s Banner
Brought to you by the most caustic of netizens: andrew!
He had dug up an old picture of me (Skinny! Shirtless! Biggest goatee I have ever had!) and incorporated that but seeing how I want to be able for you all to view this at work, I had to axe it.
Okay truth is it was wicked ugly. The pic of me, not the design.
