At the end of last semester, I had a giant tub of books I’d read through my four years at Olin. I didn’t want to schlep them anymore: they weren’t going to fit in my new apartment, they weighed about sixty pounds, and what was the point? I had already read these books: they were [...]

I’m late to the whole analytics game (thanks for opening my eyes, Boris), but I’m curious as to who reads my blog. I’m a little sick of the stat spam clogging up my hoster’s stat package, and a combo of Feedburner* and Statcounter should be more than enough crunching to fuel me.
What really interests me [...]

I’m not one to immediately jump on the cool-web-demo bandwagon, but the folks over at the DGP of UToronto have come up with a pretty interesting (*cough* Apple-like *cough*) design for interacting with a desktop.
It’s eye-candy with a purpose for the most part. The most meaningful interactions would be the size-increase and tack-up for [...]

Can somebody enlighten me on the “fiction” tag on LibraryThing? Is there any point at all? Animal Farm is fiction? Really? Talking pigs and you have to tag it as fiction?
For all it’s coolness, LibraryThing is filled with these worthless tags: DaVinci Code is a “Mystery” or “Thriller”, something I could have gotten from the [...]

Oh, forgot to mention, for all the Firefox bloggers out there, I’m trying out Performancing, a pretty cool in-browser blogging tool. Works for WordPress definitely, looks like MT people are having problems. Also does cool del.icio.us bookmarking for free! (But who uses that anymore?)
Even does Technorati tags (with the appropriate WordPress extension)
Technorati Tags: web, [...]

Hit me with the horns! I’m not wasting time with feeling good about myself, just hook me up with the bad traits.

Oh, the hotness. Just upgraded (and thanks to DreamHost, it couldn’t have been easier). Also, as an extra bonus, changed the site template from one off-the-shelf to another. Huzzah!

Previously, I wrote a short piece called Experiment. Here is Gizoogle’s version:
Late night. Jizzle n’ shit. Good jizzazz, tha kind wit tha sweet sounds of a muted trumpet play’n in front of a upright piano . Im a bad boy wit a lotta hos. The sounds of tha sett’n keep’n it real yo. Conditioned [...]

A few people have mentioned Pandora around, and after checking it out, I’ve got to give them props (and most likely $36 when my free trial ends.) It’s good stuff, and I think my favorite part is breaking down an artist or song into little keywords like “subtle vocals, tonal melodies, etc.”
Wackiness definitely ensues [...]

I had a few hours to kill (i.e. I wanted to put off my Comp Arch homework as long as possible) so I downloaded Opera (now free) and Konfabulator (also free). Of the two, I know that I’ll end up using Konfabulator way more than I’ll use Opera. Personally, I think it’s extremely tough to [...]
