  1. Effing MySpace

    I swear, any time that I decide I want to check out MySpace (only means of communication with some in-duh-viduals) it’s broken. I click a page, it says “error, under maintainance” I say “liar” and refresh and, wow, page magically loads. For being one of the most popular websites ever how the fuck is this [...]

  2. GMail Todo List

    I’ve been keeping another secret from you guys. I have a genius way to keep track of my ‘todo’ list. GMail is so powerful I don’t know if people really realize it. Thus, my mini-guide to making your own todo list in GMail. (Hmm, before posting this I realized someone else has done this same [...]

  3. MySpace Downtime Sucks

    The dipthongs over at the world’s shittiest website, MySpace, have had the site inoperable/down since 6:30PST, it is now over 5 hours later and nothing is fixed. Needless to say, my site has received a lot of visits/comments on MySpace downtime from kids wondering whats up. Who’s going to make the MySpace killer? Just import [...]

  4. Long Week

    There was some shuffling of positions at work this week. I had to go in a few extra times. I really wasn’t anticipating it. I worked 74 hours. Fun. Time to sleep!

  5. Top 5 Social Media Tools

    Well, since I’ve been tagged by Noah I guess I should use this as an excuse to blog. The meme is: what are your top 5 social media tools? I’m assuming that this really refers to any social software. If not, who cares? It’s my blog. In order of importance/frequency of use: Facebook Newsgator Wordpress Meebo Flickr I can be found checking [...]

  6. Flickr Groups

    I was bored and I realized how much fun pictures are. Seriously, I love the vast amount of media (video, pictures, comics, audio) online. I decided I was going to try to post a new picture on Flickr every day (until I run out of bandwith (or stop being cheap)). I posted a few today [...]

  7. Server Response SMS

    If I can find just one person who understands these codes that’d make my day year. I don’t know why but I’d get a certain amount of pleasure using server response codes to converse. Someday, I can imagine this moving into everyday conversation, just like ‘lol’ and ‘omg’ I can tell that girl that her [...]

  8. WDYDAD?

    What do you do all day? That’s the question Noah asked and answered. I thought it might be fun to jot my schedule down and reflect. 07:30 Wake up, shower, dress. Occasionally make some toaster waffles. 08:00 At my desk at work. Check email, do work, etc. 09:00 Grab a fruit and yogurt parfait at the cafeteria. 13:30 Head home for lunch, PB&J. 14:15 Back [...]

  9. Pirates Sucked

    Not to say the movie wasn’t entertaining, but, ehh, there were parts that made me cringe. Hard to say because I respect Mr. Bruckheimer so very much. I knew if I went to this movie tonight I’d regret it. Though, if you’re a fan it’s certainly one of those you’ll need to see in the [...]

  10. Overpromise and Overdeliver

    Everytime I tell someone about this great book I’m always corrected: “No, it’s underpromise…” Or so goes the old saying. Well, not anymore, says Rick Barrera. His latest book, Overpromise and Overdeliver is a smart look at how companies have used their TouchPoints to achieve “unshakable customer loyalty.” So what are TouchPoints? They’re what they [...]

  11. Free Business Books

    Okay, so I’ve been keeping a secret from all my readers, I haven’t bought a book in over a year. Yet I’ve probably read 4 or so. “But Devin, how can you read books if you haven’t bought any?!” My answer to you is: have you ever heard of the library? Then my second answer [...]

  12. Karma

    I can’t picture a more ironic, yet somehow satisfying headline: “Enron Corp. founder and former Chief Executive Ken Lay, who was convicted in May for his role in the Houston-based company’s downfall, died after suffering a heart attack on Wednesday at his vacation home in Colorado.” (Link)

  13. The Art of Lazy

    I looked at my website today and thought to myself: “Dude (that’s what I refer to myself as), you haven’t touched your blog in quite some time!” I quickly retorted, “Well, so? I drew a comic yesterday!” I quickly decided that my level of achievement was acceptable. I also decided that the more balls I juggle, [...]
