International Delete Your MySpace Account Day

I just found out that January 30th is International Delete Your MySpace Account Day. What an awesome birthday present — I’m there, dude!

I’ve been thinking about deleting my Myspace account almost since the day I got it but always opted out of doing so because of the few friends I have who don’t have Facebook accounts. [...]

Things I intentionally did not blog about recently

Here are some hot topics that I specifically chose not to blog about recently:

  • The “Blogger Code of Conduct”
  • Don Imus’ racial slurs
  • Anna Nicole’s baby-daddy

You’re welcome.

Buggy clock

I’ve discovered a bug in my clock that’s been causing me all sorts of headaches. It’s really messing with my ability to complete projects when others are expecting them. If I can’t find a fix soon, I’m definitely going to have to get a new clock.

See, the problem is that this clock only counts 24 hours in a day. [...]

Dougal 4.0

Today I turn the big Four-Oh. I’m not sure how I should feel about that. Since I’m a web development geek, how about we consider some possible responses in terms of HTTP 1.1 Status Codes:

I suppose the expected response would be 406 Not Acceptable. [...]

Virus Alert

I don’t usually do this, but I think this is serious enough that we need to get the word out. . [...]

Your daily dose of dumb

Wherein you get the benefit of the sillier side of my lunchtime browsing…

Piratify Your Blog!

There’s only one week left until Talk Like a Pirate Day! If you haven’t already downloaded my Text Filter Suite, which contains the awesome tfs-pirate filter, then you’d better hop to it! What’s that? You want to know what it does? It turns your blog into pirate-speak on Talk Like a Pirate Day! Well, it does some other stuff, too, but we’re mostly concerned with the piratey bits here.

For example, if you typed this:

I was driving to my girlfriend’s house the other day, and some guy cut me off and almost ran my car off the road! I hate when people do stupid things like that. [...]

Klingon Fairy Tales

Here’s an awesome list of titles for Klingon Fairy Tales. Some of my favorites:

  • “There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe With a Big Spike on It”
  • “The Hare Foolishly Lowers His Guard and Is Devastated by the Tortoise, Whose Prowess in Battle Attracts Many Desirable Mates”
  • “Mary Had a Little Lamb. [...]

That’s a bad thing?

There’s no telling how this post is going to affect my Google ads or my status in certain website blocking systems, but here we go…

We’ve all seen television commercials for Viagra, Cialis and other “male performance enhancement” medications. [...]

Google’s sense of humor

A few minutes ago, I was checking the status of my Google AdSense account. I have a friend who I think could benefit from that program as well, so I used the “refer a friend” link to zap him a note. After my message was sent, I received the following choices:

Your email is on its way to your friend

What would you like to do next?

        Share
the word about AdSense with another friend

        Go to the
AdSense home page

        Win the Powerball lottery, buy a 155 foot tri-deck yacht and retire to Palau

Okay, ignoring the horrid non-semantic HTML, which I’ve cleaned up a little to avoid breaking my page’s validation, I love that last option. [...]
