My hiatus at Gather was short lived. Turns out I’m a bit of an overreacting, melodramatic idiot at times. Yeah, I was surprised too.
I guess part of me felt as if I was using Gather as a crutch in place of actual success, and that by leaving the site it would allow me [...]

Then challenge me to a face off!
Yeah, I’ve been playing a lot of Guitar Hero III. Well, not a “lot” lot; I probably play less of GH than I ever did WoW, but I enjoy it even more. Worst thing about the online play of GH is having the wireless cut out or [...]

My Cat is on Prozac
I realize that after last week’s column about my dog eating Easter eggs and this week’s column about my cat’s antidepressant prescription, many of you might be under the impression that I’m operating some sort of foster home for [...]

I’ve been reading The Dip by Seth Godin. Well, technically I’ve both started and finished reading it today, which sounds more impressive than it actually is (the book is only 76 pages long and line spacing is rather generous).

Smells like Easter (open some windows)
Update on the basement: still soggy, [...]

It’s days like today that get the weatherman shot.
Yes, I realize he’s not technically responsible for the weather we’re having, but he still bears the brunt of the blame whenever he gets it wrong or calls for more bad weather than we’re willing to accept. There has to be someone to blame for these [...]

Happy Friday everyone. Here’s where you can find me today:
I have a new post up over at Scrivel (technically it’s been up since Tuesday) which focuses on the virtual death of one of my online personas:
Goodbye Cruel World (of Warcraft)
(More parentheses, I know)
Secondly, a belated posting of this week’s edition of The Dimmer [...]

No, not this one. Surprisingly I’m still fond of the one I made for the blog.
I’m referring to the new one over at The Dimmer Switch. I’m building a new template from scratch. I found an amazing tutorial over at WPDesigner which gives step by step instructions on how to create a [...]

Busy, busy week this week, but thankfully this week’s edition of The Dimmer Switch is up for your reading pleasure:
The Story Thus Far
A bit longer than usual, so hopefully it makes up for not posting a Tuesday edition. Enjoy and as always thanks for reading.
