John Hodgman, to be precise. This self-proclaimed expert-of-everything has recently gained pop-culture fame as the PC on the “I’m a PC and I’m a Mac” commercials. Funny thing is, he’s a devout Mac fan. Read his humorous interview with the Phoenix or visit his unusual website.

Simply Recipes: Eye Meat and Potatoes
It’s such a strange thing to redesign a website that you use all the time. So when Elise approached me about redesigning her world-famous recipe site, I was elated. It’s not every day that you get to make something you have a vested interest in better. And besides, she gave me a recipe for some... Read More

In the spirit of my Firefox-as-a-dictionary post a few weeks ago, here’s a few more quick smart keyword tips that have made my Bible study just a little faster.

For months and months, I have been looking for an way to find the definition of a word without needing to clutter up my toolbar or break my streamlined surfing habits. Sure, I can type “definition:esplanade” in my Google search bar, but then I have to click on the underlined word to get the definition.... Read More

So you’re bored by the dry-oatmeal taste of Google.com? Liven up Google with a bit of candy-coated weirdness: Ewmew Fudd – Seawch the web, Wooney Toons styew.

Cat of Election Revolves Pure Darkness
Well, they say imitation is the greatest form of flattery. But I’m not flattered. I’m falling off my chair laughing. Ok, first, visit http://plasticmind.com. Go ahead I’ll wait. Now, check out http://www.javad.ir. It’s one thing when someone steals your design and makes subtle changes–that’s annoying. It’s another thing when someone steals your design and claims... Read More

A Few (More) of MY Unfavorite Things
In the spirit of beating dead horses (making things better), I’ve continued my wish list for MT changes: Real Power-editing: Marie from disarranging.com mentioned in the previous article that the power editing mode should allow for assigning multiple categories. I personally think the power editing mode could use even more oomph than that. How about... Read More

These Are a Few of My Unfavorite Things
After my little rant the other day about the differences between MovableType and WordPress, I got thinking about more about their interfaces. In my argument I begged the question that MT’s interface is much slicker, but I’m sure some people feel otherwise. After the recent release of Shuttle, a redesign *yawn* of WordPress’ administration panel,... Read More

It’s after 3am and I’m still working on little things, like fleshing out the individual pages as well as my profile page and my “elsewhere” page. But I digress. In... Read More

Well, tomorrow is my birthday, so there are quite a few very special things happening: If you stay up late/early, be sure to dance a jig just after one a.m., when it hits 1:02:03 04-05-06. That should be pretty cool. (Thanks Joy) I celebrate my 29th birthday tomorrow. (Please send your love in Guitar Center... Read More
