Color Shuffles

30 Jan 2007

Wow. Apple released the iPod shuffle in multiple colors today. I still love my little silver shuffle, though, I can’t lie… these colors are mesmerizing. Add to that, the fact you get the new headphones with these… Man… I love the color switcher they built into the site to play off the different colors. Will…

Five more things you (probably) don’t know about me

30 Jan 2007

I love memes…. Even though I’ve already done this one, I figured: “What could answering this one more time hurt?” Thanks for the tag, Senia. I used to wrestle in high school. I was in the Heavyweight division (215-275lbs). During my tenth grade year, I was wrestling a kid from Menchville High School in a…

26 Jan 2007

I’ve been messing with the site a bit, so if things look screwed up, forgive me. Seeing as this isn’t that far of a departure from what I already had on this site, I’m considering this Version 13.1.0. I’m trying to clean up my templates, add some additional functionality that I’ve been missing, and add…

Cornered

25 Jan 2007

On Monday, Kim and I found out that we’re being forced to move. Fortunately, it’s only a minor move that only entails us changing our physical address. Since we moved into our new home in June, we’ve lived under the assumption that we lived on Niagra Falls – the street the front of our house…

I have had registration turned off for quite some time, partly because I had a spammer register as a Subscriber back when I first started using WordPress… After reconsidering it, I’ve decided to turn this feature back on. I know several folks like to comment here fairly often and here’s your chance to become a…

Man, the WordPress developers have been busy little bees… I can’t wait to try the new version of WordPress (2.1) out. I’ve been tempted to try the Beta releases discussed on the developer’s list but hadn’t gotten around to installing it. Well, I guess I’ll be doing some backups in the morning… and then a…
