I'm the village idiot, I don't have anything to do with this pathetic little opera, I just felt like passing through!
I think we seldom stop to think through, how does anyone make money on the web. Typically, we think of the web as free information, freely distributed. Yahoo, Google, flickr, MySpace – we tend to think of all of these as free services. Yet, there are large corporations behind some of them and there are … Read more
So, the latest craze (of 2005 and running into 2006) is online communities. The number of them is incredible. I’m sure I don’t know that half of it. Most of them are ‘community’ for the sake of community with no overtly stated purpose other than a place to hang out online. Others seem to try … Read more
Spent most of today geeking out. Installed MovableType plug-ins and then altered the page to take advantage of them. It was a good learning experience. I also got the Portfolio page over on the Tako Productions page put together and working. There are a couple of short clips over on that page to look at, … Read more

I decided to stick with one of the standard templates because modifying or creating your own is a lot of work. In the past when I have tried to create … Read more
This is just funny. Dell is hoping that Apple is going to offer them an alternative to Microsoft Windows. In fact, the Net is a buzz with conversation along the line of Mac OS X will now run on any old Intel box. Which is pretty funny and naive. Apple is a computer hardware company … Read more
This is very cool. There’s only one at the moment and it is only useful if you’re in Brussels. That notwithstanding, PodGuides are cool. Yeah, I know, I haven’t blogged in a coon’s age and this is a lame blog entry. There’s lots going on, I’m busy, and I need to catch up my blog. … Read more
I upgraded to the new version of Movable Type as I explained yesterday. Today I plied my recently develop skills in CSS and XHTML crafting and redesigned the layout of the weblog. I have not gotten to the comment windows yet so they are likely unusable. I’m hoping to fix that tomorrow. I got some … Read more
