Launch Day Revisited 0

The Hook is the “underground” student news site that I helped launch. I have been the primary financier and web architect. It’s a little barebones right now, but I hope it picks up.

Reflex Blue Trivia is something that I have started at work. A heavy nod to the Be A Design Cast in the name. It’s for around the office, but if you want to get involved email me.

Launch Day! 0

A pet project of mine is launching today. I have been the unofficial technical advisor to a new campus media organization. We are launching our online newspaper today. Hoorah!

Greatness 0

I just found the coolest widgets for Dashboard on OS X.4+!

It’s a widget that allows me to access both Tada Lists and Backpack!

Now these can be used in my organizational systems. Hoorah!

What a weekend! 0

Okay, first off: Great weather. It was in the mid-to-upper 70’s all weekend with a nice breeze keeping the humidity away. Second reason the weekend was great: Esther. That’s obvious. The third reason: The amount of stuff that we did.

Saturday was major landscaping day. We went to Lowe’s and got some pavers and edging rocks and mulch. You can see the results below.

So after the great Saturday of gardening, we went on a super excellent bike ride on Sunday. We rode to colonial Yorktown and around the historic trails. See some pictures below.

Ahh… Life is good.

Speaking of TV 0

When the idea of a la carte cable has been floated, I am usually over joyed. I can get ride of a whole lot of channels that I never watch. Here is my list:

  • Lifetime
    “Next on Lifetime…” the same old bleh movies about mothers who love their children, etc.
  • ESPN
    I know that I’m the only guy every who isn’t addticted to ESPN.
  • ABC Family
    I don’t need family friendly programming. Watch what your kids are watching and you don’t have to worry.
  • The Weather Channel
    Ever hear of the internet, or a window?
  • CNBC
    I don’t care about your stocks!
  • CMT
    I have an aversion to country music, even more so on TV.
  • BET
    Have never watched it. Ever.
  • Disney
    See ABC Family
  • INSP
    Don’t need the “God squad” on my TV.
  • Animal Planet
    Do I really need to say more?
  • QVC, HSN, any channel that sells stuff
    I don’t like to shop. Do you really think I want that gawdy jewelery?
