NaBloPoMo = National Blog Posting Month. And I am member #4928. Which means I’ll be posting here every day for a month. Or at least trying to. Stay tuned.
It’s difficult to remember now, but there was a time when companies looked at the internet and made a ponderous decision about whether or not they wanted to participate. I remember having a serious debate with a museum in Santa Cruz in 1995 about why they should have a website. They ultimately decided to go […]
Heather and I think of our cellphones more as cameras with phone attachments than phones with camera functions. So when a new one comes along, the first question we ask is, “How’s the camera?”
Today I took my new iPhone to the local dog park to find out. Short answer: About average for a cellphone, with […]
So my dalliance with Hemingway has come to an end. No offense to Kyle Neath - it’s a really lovely theme - but as a designer I’m much too picky to live with a template I didn’t make for too long. Turns out, my tolerance lasts about 6 weeks.
So I made my own WordPress theme. […]
So I’m back. Why? A few reasons.
I’ve got a few posts percolating in me and I need a place to put them. I’ve got some block about putting them up at Vox. I think it’s because of the ads. If my words are going to earn a CPC, I want it to be on my […]

Those of us who have been making webstuff since before the word “weblog” came around, myself […]
Today I embark on the very exciting 2006 Powazek World Tour. (Well, if you consider Portland and DC the world and two stops to be a tour, anyway.)
This Thursday and Friday I’ll be participating in a private conference sponsored by - I swear I’m not making this up - the State Department. It’s called the […]
Battlestar Galactica may be in-between seasons after one of the most daring cliffhangers in TV history, but that doesn’t mean the characters are just hanging around waiting for Ron to call.
I may be one of the few people out there who’s a member of both the Battlestar Galactica community of nerddom and the Tiki […]
I’m 33. That means I’m stuck somewhere in between Generation X and Y. Generation X was stereotyped as lazy postmodernists, too comfy with our liberal arts degrees to get off the couch and do anything. Generation Y was defined by being, um, younger than that.
