    I think the best part of this is that noone can keep a straight face in it. I hope to changing the theme of this blog soon so I can take better advantage of the screen real estate. We are no longer living in a 800×600 world anymore.

    I updated the wishlist a bit for the upcoming holiday season. Nothing dire or anything I have hopes set on. Mostly just stuff that would be nice to have. Hope this makes things easier for anyone.

    I’ve been developing a plug-in for Powet.TV to automate some background stuff that we do regularly. One of the things I need to do is add a meta-box to the ‘edit post’ administration page. The below image is an example of a very simple meta-box. Its just a standard container for content in the administration…

    As I paged through today’s Metro newspaper, I came across this amusing entry in the letter’s section. My blurry cam made it a little hard to make out though. Here is the text: Read Tolkien, puzzlesmith Re: “CROSSWORD: 9/23”: I take issue with your 43D clue “Folklore dwarfs” (TROLLS). It’s just not right; dwarves and…

    Yesterday, at 12:51AM EST, my sister gave birth to Jacob Aaron. He weighs in at 6 lbs 6 oz and is about 19.5 inches long. I’ve been called ‘uncle’, no less than 10 times (and probably much more) in the past 24 hours. It hasn’t sunk in and I’m sure it won’t until I actually…

    I have finally gotten around to posting the gallery for Botcon 2010 on Orlando, Florida. Maybe sometime I’ll get to doing the gallery for 2009. Above you can see the obligatory group photo. Unfortunately, it was done very impromptu as Ernie and Rubin were trying to leave, so we couldn’t find Sam nor Robert in…

    This post has been saved as a draft for almost a year now. Oops! Thank goodness I cut my hair, though! I’m still a little shellshocked from the surprise weeks later. I was truly touched at both the number of people that came out and how well kept a secret this turned out to be.

    I updated my wishlist at the request of some friends. Ignore the ‘Older Stuff’ section. I need to clean that up. Most of the update was me crossing things out that I had bought myself over the past year. I didn’t really add that much either. There’s just not a lot I’m looking for right…

    Still catching up a bit here and wanted to drop the link on anyone who hasn’t seen my video for January 2010 just yet. Link. This is by far my most ambitious video to date in nearly every way. Not as funny as some older ones, but definitely pushing the envelope on my editing and…

    Another day, another disabled escalator at Copley Place. Aside from several MBTA stations, I can think of no other place on my travels around the city of Boston that has broken down escalators more often than those in the Copley Mall. Considering this is supposed to be the ‘trendy’ mall for the city, you’d think…
