Today at work I’ve worn a few hats.
Java Applets (JVM Version Detection)
ColdFusion
XHTML
CSS
PHP/MySQL (On the Bag’s user library)
JavaScript (Popup Blocker Detection)
All in the past 4 hours… one of those hours was a lunch break, too. Yikes.

Finding NEMO – MYTHS DEBUNKED!
Posted in Personal, tagged Personal on May 18, 2006 | 6 Comments »
In the spirit of all of The DaVinci Code nonsense, I intend to debunk each and every myth in the critically acclaimed movie/book Finding Nemo. The parallels between the two books are overwhelming: they both appear in the fiction section of a bookstore!
Finding Nemo is poisoning America’s youth with false hopes and purports rather [...]
Another First: Highlighted Hair

It’s not super obvious, but I got my hair highlighted today. My hair lady person told me it was “caramel” colored.
“Bag” Development Blog is Up
Posted in Personal, tagged Geek, Personal on May 15, 2006 | Comments Off
The Development Blog for my “bag of tricks” functions library is up and running. I documented most of the library’s functions today (specifically CRUD on MySQL databases)—if you’ve ever done any PHP development head over there. You’ve probably experienced (or will experience) a lot of the headaches that I’m trying to remedy.
Next Level Consumption

Now that school has ended (!!!) and work has slowed down, I’m getting back into the swing of things with the tech life. I finished reading DHTML Utopia. The usual blogs haven’t been cutting it for me when it comes to technical breadth, but luckily I’ve come across a few good sites.
My new reads:

Post Graduation Geekiness

Today I bought some Arctic Silver and a 5 1/2” addon for my case to give me some temperature readouts. I’ve been having some heating issues for a while now and now that I’ve actually got time to investigate it I’ll solve the problem before I go to KS.
Launchy is a sweet little application that [...]
Commencement Cuss Count
Posted in Personal, tagged Personal on May 13, 2006 | 2 Comments »
I walked the line earlier today.
In an earlier post I talked about something we did at fraternity meetings called “Cuss Count”. It’s mostly about recording offensive things that were said along with taking quotes out of context and making them very perverted or reflecting on the very random.

The Struggle
Posted in Personal, tagged Personal on May 12, 2006 | 1 Comment »
While trying to grok anything I could about the TV show LOST, I came across a test.
The show is testing me, just like the Island (yes, capitalized) is testing the characters on the show. I found spoilers of Season 2’s finale. It was all just a scroll away… but then I heard the distinctive [...]
Quick Productivity Tip: Talking Clock
Posted in Personal, tagged Personal on May 10, 2006 | Comments Off
If you work at the computer long hours and lose track of time, the talking clock is for you. I’ve only been running it for a few days, but it really has helped me gauge how much time I’m spending on projects.
Talking Clock v 2.0 is a free open source talking clock for windows. There [...]
Being A College Student – Part 3 [Social]
Posted in Personal, tagged Personal on May 10, 2006 | 3 Comments »
The biggest intangible and unforeseeable (for me) benefits of going to college have been in the social realm. Too often the real world sees college graduates who are socially inept and impotent from a communication standpoint. Even if it makes your grades suffer, even if it keeps you in college just a hint longer, [...]
