Speak No Evil
You've seen my evil, now it's time for you to hear it! Loyd (a lurker) e-mailed me earlier this afternoon with a link to Dane. With their help, I've weaved the AT&T Natural Voices form into every blog entry, past and present. Just press the button that precedes each paragraph and you'll be in pitch-perfect [...]
Beta Breakers
Robert “convinced” me to install the MSN Messenger 6.0 Preview a few minutes ago. My initial impressions are positive, but they've got a long way to go before I'd consider this a complete product. For one, images aren't smartly resized if they don't conform to the conventional dimensions. This is likely something that'll slip through [...]
Tetrisized
Nobody can beat my mad Tetris skillz; I dare you to take me on, punk. This evening, I conquered the classic game in marathon mode (level 15). I purchased a second cartridge just so that I could challenge Gretchen head-to-head, and even she's finding it extremely difficult to defeat me. Maybe we Bay Area Bloggers [...]

Sock It To Me?
Why do all my socks have unnatural holes in them? Has my big toe been trying to liberate itself from within the confines of its cotton prison? He's the Captain of the toes, ya know. It's a conspiracy! I stubbed him two weeks ago, and he's exacting his revenge slowly. My feet have been kind [...]
Fun With Flash
With this, I made this. I'm much less jagged in real life, although some would argue that 'Chris Pirillo' is a truly aliased character. Perhaps I've finally found the reason to get a Tablet PC? Nah, too expensive.
Cool Blog Tools
Don't know which blogging software to use? Need to know about the less-popular alternatives? You could always try before you install, but I'd recommend refering to the Blog Tool Feature Comparison Table. And if you're looking for links in all the wrong places, perhaps you need a little BlogMatcher? And what would a post be [...]
For Seymour
There is now an RSS feed for my Photoblog.
Oddblogging
This is what happens when you combine a good cup of coffee with an audio blog. For the love of GOD, make it stop?! Or at least say something worth listening to!
Live from SF!
When I speak from a screen, I'm received just as warmly as I would be if I were presenting my ideas in person. Instead of merely talking about how technology is transforming the commerce landscape, I illustrate it live. Web conferencing is easy to do, contrary to what you've been told. You can use free [...]
It's a Good Thing
If you wanna see REAL parody, you wanna save Martha Stewart. Even Sprocket agrees with me. If you're going to poke fun of someone's style, at least do it WITH style. And be sure to include a couple of useful links, like a QuickTime Alternative (via Jon).
It's So True
“I am everything. I created newsletters. I made them work. Want some of my spammy newsletters? Former TechTV star. I am cool. The size of my ego wouldn't even fit in Texas. Doncha wish you lived my life? In the Age of Spam, my answer to everything is email newsletters, yes, links to shareware, freeware, [...]
Indecent Exposure
Things not to flash: your mother-in-law, your pastor, your devices with beta firmware. The DVD Talker (Geoff) was on the phone with Sandisk this evening, asking why certain media wasn't being read and written to properly with our reader. They know it's a problem with “third-party” products, and sent him a semi-solid upgrade (which he, [...]
After All
What was I doing away from the Bay? Makin' friends and meetin' old ones. Already in my collection: David and Veronica. New acquisitions: Ken and Craig. Still in the Archies: Betty and Jughead. I'm off to find protective sheets today to keep them in pristine condition. I may wind up trading my storage bin for [...]
Where's Waldo?
I brought my stripey red shirt and stocking cap with me – but where am I? Can you guess from my latest photo entries? Stop when you get to the picture of Robert in his Longhorn cap. Let's see… good sushi, dogs in the elevator, a giant twisted tree, and a hallway directly out of [...]
