Geek Pride

I just read this article from the New York Times about getting rid of the words “geek” and “nerd” because they’re pejorative. What a nerd. A geek would know the difference. There’s a reason why the saying goes “The GEEKS shall inherit the Earth,” and that is because we geeks are cool enough to make [...]

Animated Graffiti

This is weird, but so unique that I had to post a link to it.

I am Simon (but not YOUR Simon)

So I finally upgraded my Xbox to the new Xbox experience. Of course, the first thing I did was create my avatar. I was trying to make it as close to reality as possible because I’ve seen some people that bear an uncanny resemblance to their avatar. (According to Dennis, I failed– my hair is [...]

I’m not a lazy bum any more.

That’s right. I have been for awhile. Since about May 16th, my last day at iFLOOR. But those days are now over. I decided that jobs weren’t only for suckers after all. Starting (I think) next Wednesday, I will be working for Microsoft, as a contractor. Have you ever heard of Live.com? No? Well you [...]

Good Ol’ Seattle Weather

Seattle is a bit rainy today. This photo was taken while I was driving to lunch in Tukwila. If you’re wondering why I would drive my Hyundai Accent (heretofore known as ‘the ultimate Korean driving machine’) into this, it’s because at first it was only about a foot deep– but I didn’t expect the lake [...]
