Before and After

In Fun, Photos, Powazek on 30 June 2005 with Comments Off

One of the many perks of the first day off work in months is tending to long-overdue life maintenance. Today I ran errands, cleaned the house, and got a haircut. Consider this post my little contribution to the most interesting Google image search ever. I feel like a new man already.

The New New Thing

In Blogging, Design, Powazek, Technorati, Weblogs on 9 June 2005 with Comments Off

Seven months ago, when I told my friends and family that I’d taken a job at Technorati, they all had one thing to say to me.
Cool! But, um, what do they do?
These people weren’t rubes. My tribe are some geeky folks. Bigtime bloggers, hardcore nerds, and computer-enabled professionals all asked me this. And translated through [...]

My new book, same as the old book

I am a salty old man

Heather and I are having much fun moblogging today. She has an excuse - she is participating in 24 in 48: A collection of 24 people posting photos for 48 hours for your enjoyment. Me? I just like to follow the cool kids.

Ephemera Recognized

Vote Chawazek!

In Blogging, Internet, Photography, Powazek on 21 March 2005 with Comments Off

You know what never gets old? Shilling for votes. Really. It’s a skill I’ve nurtured over my 10 years making web stuff. I’m still sore I never got in the Top 5% in the mid-90s. The ballot was totally confusing. Most of my votes wound up going to David Siegel.
Case in point: I’m honored that [...]
