Year: 2007

  • Sandboxing

    I finally took the plunge and switched over to using Sandbox for WordPress. I’m hoping to have some time over the coming weeks to apply my own design to it… for the time being, this one will work. Stay tuned.

  • So long, CompUSA

    CompUSA logoIt was announced today that CompUSA will be closing all of its remaining 103 stores. While most people will celebrate this, given CompUSA’s less than stellar customer service, I mourn the news. See, in Augusta there aren’t many options for buying computer hardware. There are a few local computer shops, such as ComputerOne, and several big box stores like Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target and Circuit City… but that’s it. Our only other option is to buy online. Goodbye, CompUSA.

  • What would Neil Patrick Harris do?

    What would Neil Patrick Harris do? He’d tell you to drop everything and see Harold & Kumar 2 next year.

  • Year 29

    birthday cake

    Today, I am 29 years old. I don’t feel any older, but the ever-appearing gray hairs I’m getting say otherwise. If you had asked me ten years ago where I thought I’d be at Age 29, I doubt I would have been able to say that I’d be where I am.

  • Look up and be amazed.

    Awesome Sky 008

    This photo was taken outside the offices of PowerServe in Augusta, GA on November 27, 2007. This beautiful scene stayed in place and gradually shifted through shades of orange and pink for nearly a half hour. It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in my life. (View more photos in this set.)

    BTW, if you dig the photo, consider digging it. Thanks!

  • Christmas Card List Addition

    Received this via email from my friend Erik, and thought it was worth sharing here because I love the idea:

    When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please include
    the following:

    A Recovering American Soldier
    C/O Walter Reed Army Medical Center
    6900 Georgia Avenue, NW
    Washington, D.C. 20307-5001

    God bless our soldiers for doing what they do.

  • Email Standards Project

    Email Standards ProjectWhat the Web Standards Project did for the web, the Email Standards Project hopes to do for email. This new initiative, which launched today (11.28.07 @ 10am, Sydney Australia time) is one I fully support. HTML Email can serve a legitimate purpose, and it’s about time this sort of advocacy took place. I hope you’ll join me in congratulating the ESP team on their launch and in supporting the ESP any way you can in the future.

  • Be Thankful

    On this day, we are reminded to be thankful. I am thankful for my wife and son, my family, my friends, my job and awesome coworkers, and for God – without Him, we have nothing.

    Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
