MySpace Hotlinking

If you had told me a year ago that I would be an active member of MySpace I would have laughed. From what I had seen of the social network back then, I had decided that it was simply a meeting place for people like “Kenny” from Can’t Hardly Wait…. 

Be Gentle

I saw this picture over at Alex Rudloff’s post about UCF’s 42-0 loss to UF and had to repost it. Amy and I were at home watching South Carolina get the same treatment from Georgia…but at least that matchup was worth watching. 42-0? C’mon Gators? Why couldn’t you just go… 

Redneck Bling For Sale

A few months ago, Amy told me this story about how her and some of her classmates were coming back from lunch and she saw this horrendously jacked up truck downtown. The owner was trying to get something out of the bed and when the tailgate was down the guys… 

Freshly Minted with Pathstats

After putting it off for a long while now, I finally upgraded to version 1.29 of Mint. Initially I planned to upgrade, but instead I decided to drop the MySQL tables and start from scratch, installing only peppers (Mint plugins) that I intend to use. As I was cruising through… 

Iconfactory Redesigning?

My boss asked me this morning if I had seen iconfactory.com lately. Both of us go there often to customize our icon sets and check out their awesome…stuff. Well, as of today, the site is down. In it’s place is a flipflopflyin style animated story. In it, the W3C, represented… 

Exact Opposites

As with Numa Numa, this is a vodcast post in response to a post by Dustin Diaz over at Web Standards with Imagination. Dustin mentioned that he’s been really busy and hasn’t had time for podcasting, so I thought I’d provide some AM entertainment by posting a short lesson on… 

Three Years

I already posted about Amy and I’s anniversary on amesnjas.com, so I don’t really want to duplicate that post here, but I don’t want to let the day just pass by either. Especially since I have an archive of our first and second anniversaries here already. I can hardly believe… 

Headbutt to the Sternum

Well, it’s been several days now since the final showdown of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, but the world is still reeling from Zinedine Zidane’s brutal attack against Marco Materazzi. Although many people have been trying to determine his motivation, and whether or not he deserves the prestigious Golden Ball… 

Family of Artists

Everyone has always asked me how I got to be so artistic. Ok, well nobody has ever really asked me that, but I’m going to go ahead and tell you anyway. It’s genetics. Yep, I come from a family of artists. I guess that’s kinda like coming from a circus… 

Gray Screen of Death

Update 10/2/2006: My issues were probably never RAM related at all. It may have been due to bad capacitors on the motherboard. The first generation of G5 iMacs were subject to a bad batch of capacitors that were prone to bulge and leak causing a while host issues including video…
