I felt absolutely productive today. I managed to get a script update done that’s been waiting in the wings for quite a while. There is still one other script update I need to do, along with a few website updates, but that will happily wait until tomorrow or Monday.
I’ve also decided on which sites I [...]

Opera Mini Doesn’t Agree with AT&T Tilt
After much anticipation, my new mobile phones have arrived. Since it was about time for me to upgrade, and after weighing the options, I opted for the BlackJack II and the AT&T Tilt.

Valentine’s Day Edition
Since it’s almost Valentine’s Day and since I haven’t changed the header on this site in a very very long time, I’ve decided that it would be the perfect opportunity to dust off my sketch book.
The header image is actually my first Photoshop painting using my new Wacom Intuos3 Special Edition graphics tablet. I scanned [...]

Maybe I Should Just Photoshop Myself…
Now that I realize there’s really no such thing as a “natural” celebrity, I may just need to stop trying to emulate them and start Photoshopping myself whenever I don’t like my photos.
Of course, right now I can’t claim to have the same type of Photoshop skillz as those who cater to the stars. [...]
