http://www.trickmo.com/wp stuff i'm thinking about Sun, 28 Feb 2010 17:52:42 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I checked out my blog a minute ago just to try to remember when I last posted, and was shocked to see that it was last month. It's just been busy. I started a new job on June 1st, and this month has flown by. Friends visiting, family visiting, a trip to ... http://www.trickmo.com/wp/?p=260 Today I had one of those technology moments. You know, the kind where something out in the technosphere jumps out at you. And it was my favorite kind - the unexpected variety. I spend a good deal of time putting stuff out there - blog entries, various web sites, social networking ... http://www.trickmo.com/wp/?p=258 The other day I launched a new web site for everyone's favorite Cairn terrier Playa. My plan is to upload a ton of pictures and videos. I also have a web cam up, and hope to add lots more interactive stuff to attract people to follow my little beast (as if her ... http://www.trickmo.com/wp/?p=252 No more sleeping on the floor! After a month sleeping on a mattress on the floor, we finally got a frame for our bed yesterday, and I had an enjoyable little mystery while assembling the frame. While preparing to attach the headboard, I found there were no instructions for attaching to ... http://www.trickmo.com/wp/?p=242 I normally try to steer clear of celebrity gossip, if only because it's nonsense and completely uninteresting, but the news about Ashton Kutcher racing CNN to the million Twitter follower mark caught my eye. Not ignoring the irony of it being ABC reporting this 'news,' I am just wondering about the implicit ... http://www.trickmo.com/wp/?p=239 Fox News reported today that cyberspies have penetrated the US power grid. Am I the only one who thinks it's interesting that this story came straight from this season's plotline of 24? It used to be that it took a few years for the events on 24 to actually take ... http://www.trickmo.com/wp/?p=227 I found this picture the other day while digging through some boxes. This must have been around 1978 (dating myself just to provide nostalgia, I know). I don't recall being robots for halloween though, so my guess is we just decided one day to dress up for fun. Mom fashioned these outfits for ... http://www.trickmo.com/wp/?p=220 I'm really not one to fight with my toys, and I pride myself on being the master of my technology world. However, I'm quite annoyed with my phone today. It humiliated me. That's right - my phone did. Intentionally. With malice. You see I've been neglecting my cell phone, because in ... http://www.trickmo.com/wp/?p=213 Today as I scrounged around the house looking for a plastic bag to use for trash (we don't have a kitchen trash can yet - it's on the list), I suddenly had a little moment. I pulled the brown bag from inside a plastic bag like they do in New York (forget ... http://www.trickmo.com/wp/?p=200 Now I know how Tom Petty felt when he wrote that song that goes 'the waiting is the hardest part.' Still waiting for our stuff to arrive from New York. It's a long story, but basically our moving company, Ben Hur, decided to store our stuff in the Bronx rather than ... http://www.trickmo.com/wp/?p=198
