music update – Arcade Fire edition
I will always love Arcade Fire. Neon Bible was a turning point for me both musically and as a person. They could have sold their next album as a single screetching note and I would have happily bought it with a smile. Thankfully, The Suburbs is superb in its own right. Arcade Fire – The […]

My Droid Incredible Is Incredible
In the last post I made, I mentioned I had finally succumbed to the smartphone world.

It’s official. We’re going to attempt to drop in on WordCamp San Francisco in early May. 🙂 I did not really want to elaborate on it at the time for fear of jinxing, but I have joined Automattic full-time as a Happiness Engineer. It’s a truly refreshing place to be, as everyone is whip smart […]

CSS Baby Steps
I was just starting to drive when I last dabbled in web UI. CompuServe was dying. AOL was about to go all-you-can-eat unlimited.
