The Internet Overdose Song
It’s possible to have a little too much of the internet these days. Seems like there’s constantly a new social site to join, blog to read, person to connect to, and, well, you get the point. I came across this (embedded below) the other day and, well it kind of strikes a chord. I mean, [...]
One Spam Comment to Rule Them All
Being a blog on the internet with open commenting I get a fair amount of spam comments. The various WordPress features and plugins I have generally do a good job of keeping out about 99.9% of these spam comments, but there is the occasional one that gets through. One such comment made it through earlier [...]
End of the Journey
Well, here we are, the end of the journey. It’s been 31 days since I started the Blog-O-Rama Challenge and it’s finally come to an end. As crazy as it sounds, there was something posted every single day in the month of August. Sure, everything (and I do mean everything) was written at least a [...]
An Award and an Answer
The other day I noticed that fellow blogger and Twitterer Oh My Seven decided that I deserved this sweet little token of appreciation:
Yeah, it’s pretty cool. Now, after reading her blog post a second time — it was all about me the first time — I realized that Seven had given it to three bloggers [...]

Have any suggestions for what [...]
August Blog-O-Rama Halfway Point
Two weeks ago I started the Blog-O-Rama Challenge. So far I’ve actually been able to post some form of new content every single day. Granted, all of it is written a few days prior to it actually posting, but it’s still daily content. In fact, before the Blog-O-Rama began it took nearly three months to [...]
1982 in Pictures
Today I noticed OhMySeven has an oddly named post. Just a simple 1982. Having been born in 1982 I was curious. Evidently it’s one of those web games that goes around the blogging world. This one lists pictures found on a Flickr search of your birth year. Since I needed some content and because this [...]
Gravatars are Cool
You might be wondering what the little graphics are next to the various comments here on the blog. Some people have weird images and others have pictures of themselves — which are equally weird. My site, along with a large number of other blogs on the interwebs, support Gravatars. According to their site, Gravatars are [...]
August Blog-o-Rama!
If you follow this site with any amount of consistency then you know the one thing this site lacks is consistency. I’m kind of a slacker when it comes to blogging and only post stuff when things strike me. The Celebrity Playlist was the first time I had ever even thought about using WordPress’ scheduling [...]
What is blogging?
I’ve been reading a lot of various blogs lately, mainly to try and get some inspiration for yet another site design (it’s really a never ending cycle). But reading the various blogs out there I’ve been trying to determine what exactly a blog is. Some people cover their whole lives on their blogs while others [...]
