Site Update Quickie

Posted October 18th, 2008 at 7:09PM

I made a few changes to the site today. Changed the header, minimal updates to the MINI and About sections.

I’ve been watching a lot of Letterman. I was uncomfortable even sitting in my living room watching McCain attempt humor. But Tina Fey was great last night. Tonight is supposed to be the night we get a Fey – Palin face off on SNL. I’m a bit disappointed they would even have Palin on, but I understand the draw.

No inclination to make a substantial post, but tomorrow is the last autocross so I should have results afterwards. (Come to think of it, I never made a post about the last event in September… Sheeet.)

Carry onward, you crazy Christian soldiers!

‘Motoring’ Category Nearly Separate

Posted January 20th, 2008 at 6:52PM

Awhile back I themed the motoring category with its own unique theme to try to differentiate it a bit. Check it out. I need to work on it more, but I’m not running into any huge problems, so that’s a relief.

Now I just need to give it a nicer URL. And then it’s onto the next one. I’ll probably do something for the writing section so that I can display it to prospective employers. (Yes, I’m still fucking unemployed. Although I’ve earned a few dollars here and there.)

There will be more posts to come.

“Health” Category Added

Posted December 12th, 2007 at 10:26PM

So about two months ago I did a quick post saying I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, but that I wouldn’t make it a centerpiece of this blog. Well, as this site is a clearinghouse of all things moi, it turns out that as I learn more and fully deal with the disease, I feel the need more and more to write about it. So I’ve created a “health” category.

It won’t be strictly diabetes-related, however. I’ll be going back through the archives and adding anything “health”-related. I’ll be liberal with the definition, as I am with most definitions and things in general.

I foresee more interesting links to news stories and articles, and occasionally a handwritten (OK, handtyped) post on the more misunderstood aspects of diabetes.

Nobody reads the blog anyway: who cares if it goes in 20 random directions instead of only 19?

Header Update

Updated the header yesterday. Big changes.

Posts coming. Promise.

More Life, Less Posting

Posted November 27th, 2006 at 5:11PM

Whenever a lot of things are happening, I blog very little. When I have nothing to do, I blog.

With this said, I’ve been up to a lot recently. But I don’t want to dump it all into a single post. Two or three maybe.

Watch for updates in the next few days.

Wiki?

Posted December 12th, 2004 at 6:57PM

I’m tentatively adding a wiki to my site. If everything goes smoothly, I believe I’ll be able to take out the right menu altogether. Then I’ll be able to really create the site how I want it to be. I’d make the header larger, and the entire thing a bit narrower…

It’ll be great, trust me.

Until I do the re-design, however, you can reach the wiki here, and watch my progress.

I’ve Realized Why I’m So Trustworthy With Money

Posted November 29th, 2004 at 9:31PM

Because I simply don’t value it. (how un-American.)

I just finished sorting through a bit over a hundred and fifty dollars. (ok, so it’s not a huge sum. But when the bulk of it is in singles, it seems hefty.) This money belongs to two seperate student organizations. Some of it is going to help refugees in Sudan. Some of it is going into the two groups’ accounts. Some of it is going to retroactively fund the SOA trip I went on. So about ten bucks of it is actually mine. So many possibilities to skim a bit off the top. But what would be the point?

In other news, I’m as busy as ever. I went to my Israel class today, and the teacher told us that all of us would be re-drafting our term papers, and that it’d probably be necessary for us to individually meet with her to discuss revisions.

*gulp*

But then, as we walked out of class and set-up meeting times, she mentioned to me that mine was the “closest to finished” and that our meeting should go quick. Phew..

Sent in three rolls of film for development, from the protest. I really need to scan some more photos and add them to the site. But it’s such a pain in the ass, and I never have time.

German test on Wednesday. Personal essay due on Wednesday. Africa essay on Friday. Reading throughout the week. It’s looking like I’ll really need to get out this weekend.

Tricky — Hell is Round the Corner
I stand firm for a soil
I lick a rock off foil
So reduce me, seduce me,
Dress me up in StÃ¼ssy.
Hell is round the corner where I shelter.
Isms and schisms, we’re living on a skelter
If you believe I’ll deceive common sense says you are thief
Let me take you down the corridors of my life.
