This is classic. I think it may have been more powerful if titled Douchebags, 2007, but I guess I can just reserve that for myself for the upcoming year.

[Michael Vick] Makes millions for throwing ball, decides to invest in gambling on dog fights. How much dumber do people get than this?
My future brother-in-law received a Playstation 3 from Santa this week, and as we were setting it up last night I noticed that the logotype is indistinguishable from that of Spiderman 3, at a glance.
A quick google search revealed that this is old news, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless. My search also led me to this awesome forum thread. If you enjoy that enlightened discourse, check out this video.
Well I am about to install Mac OS X 10.5, aka Leopard. I have heard some people have had troubles, but I'm ignoring most of that and forging ahead. Right now I am backing up all of my important files, just in case something were to go awry, and also because I should have been doing that all along.
I did actually have a backup drive, but I did not have any system for performing the backups, so I would just copy folders to it as I saw fit, which was rarely. Ironically, that backup drive has failed, and I can't even mount it, but thankfully my system is working just fine so its not really a problem.
Now I have a 500 GB Maxtor OneTouch4 which I will primarily be using for Time Machine, but which is also housing this upgrade backup.
Wish me luck.
When I stepped into the bathroom just now, there was a man standing in there, alone. His fists were clenched and he had a look of both uncertainty and digust upon his face.
I have no idea what his deal was, but it was quite unsettling.
Well it's been a long time coming but I've finally moved this site over to Drupal. I had used Drupal to develop the Intranet at my former employer and really enjoyed the experience. Since then I have wanted to migrate my personal site, as I found Drupal easier to work with and much less daunting than Wordpress. There are also infinitely more possibilities now that I am working with a real CMS.
I had definitely lost interest in blogging, and my last redesign didn't turn out quite as I had imagined, in large part due to the fact that I just couldn't wrangle Wordpress with my limited knowledge of PHP.
I know that I like to tinker and design more than actually post interesting content, so maybe this is just another experiment. If so, well hey, that's my prerogative. But I'm hoping that the new, light design, and the fact that I can actually manipulate the site without pulling all my hair out, will inspire me to spend a little more time here.
I do find it quite ironic that in one of my last posts I stated that I would do a post a day, and that was seven months ago. Maybe not ironic, just sad. Regardless, I think a post a day is probably unlikely for me. I'm going to start with a post a week. Actually, fuck it: no expectations.
