‘Til Tuesday
I was having a hard time with a title for this post, so I went with ‘Til Tuesday because I can’t wait for Tuesday. A few things are going happen on Tuesday. It’s the start of August and I’ll be going to the Sox game with Joe, but most importantly, I am going to have me some coffee.
Yup, I’m done with my coffee *boycott* and will be back on the wagon after a five week layoff. I am going to celebrate with a large iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts in the afternoon. I think I am going to continue to not drink it in the morning though. I don’t know why either. What do you think?
So, you all remember ‘Til Tuesday right? A band out of Boston that hit in the late 80’s with “Voices Carry” and fronted by the beautiful and talented Aimee Mann? Well, my Uncle Chris likes to recount the tale that I once held the back door open for her and the band at the In-Square Men’s Bar which used to be in Cambridge. I was most likely in the back playing Star War... Continue reading »
What About OB1og?
I noticed some visitors have been clicking on some of my neglected navigation links off to the left there, so I decided to bang a couple out tonight. I have added content to the About and Audio pages.
They are pretty fluffy, but what do you expect? It is hard to talk about yourself and do the bio. I think next time I’ll lie some more to make it interesting. I should open up comments on it to see what you flame me with, but my ego can’t take it, so just post those kind of comments on any old post you feel like, even if it is off topic… or this one.
The audio stuff is just my fave Top 10 of the moment, which changes by the moment as I buy new discage, but I’ll try to keep up with it. I’ll also add an all-time Top 10 there and something else I have been thinking of doing. Oh yeah, when I finally get around to typing up that full Generic... Continue reading »
Blog Days of Summer
I can tell by the way the past two weeks have gone that it is going to be tough to post on a regular basis. Actually, maybe I just need to redefine what a regular basis is going to be for the Summer.
Yeah, that’s what needs to happen, so based on how it has gone since it *officially* turned Summer, we’ll go with the one post a week schedule. I think it’s a thing going around, you know? Ed and Jason seem to have it too and those Scoobs have it year ’round. Of course, there could be Asides added at any time in between, but not much has really caught my eye as of late, although I did just post one about being Pearl Jammed.
You’d think I had all kinds of stuff going on since it was so nice out and all that, but the... Continue reading »
Spamalot
I got my first spam comment today, but the Akismet plug-in ate it for me. Yeah me! It was for some wood inducing blue pill… If I remember correctly, the first one Ed got was for on-line gambling. So, I need help with wood and he needs to gamble. I’d rather have his problem…
Simplified OB1og
Well, I took the feedback you provided to heart and made some adjustments to the blog design. I really like the way this came out, so I hope you do as well.
I more or less eliminated the extra colors and went with the blue and the green. I am going to find it hard to resist changing the green to orange at some point, but I like how the green evokes a Spring feeling, so it will stay for the season. I also changed up the layout by moving that middle column, which was blue, to the right side so that the main content is now in the middle. If you want to see more details, you can check out the Changelog.
Now that this has me feeling okay about the overall look-and-feel, I’ll be going to work adding the other features I have in mind. I’ll also be spending less time coding and more time writing content. Maybe my goal with the previous look was to distract you so much, that you wouldn’t notice how bad the content was. I mean, how many posts can you have about routers?!
So,... Continue reading »
Commenty Goodness
I’ve decided that if you don’t leave a comment yourself, I’ll do it for you. That’s of course, if you bothered to provide feedback via e-mail, IM, phone or facetime. I’ve done so twice for Joe already.
Leave a comment so I know you likey or no likey. Doesn’t have to be clever, funny or nice. Just leave it if you had a thought while reading. I’ll take you to DQ.
Walk This World
Time to have fun. Time to feel pain. Time to meet the World. Hello World!
Hello World symbolizes a first step in a new environment and geeks the world ‘round use it. WordPress starts every new blog off with it, so how can I resist putting my own spin on it as I Walk This (New) World?
Walk This World is a song by Heather Nova and I thought it a more appropriate title for my first post in the Blogosphere. Certainly has a better ring to it than Hello World, yeah?
I can see I am already losing my fledgling readership — all eleven of you — so I’d better get to the point, which is to say, I haven’t one. Yup, this is a mind dump of pure rubbish. You see, like most blogs, I’m not entirely sure this one will have a point either.
I am no writer. I don’t want to be a writer. I don’t t... Continue reading »
