In order to begin planning a requested feature for 1xRUN (accounts), I created a hierarchical “sitemap.” As it is not yet a part of the site, I use the term “sitemap” loosely, but I believe this…

After playing around in Photoshop for a while, I came up with this.
It works at full size, but I’ll post them all here for people to test various sizes. If it consistently works, then I’ll stick…
QR Codes →
I’ve been playing around with these little “cell phone” codes as most people are familiar with. They’re called QR (quick response) codes. A two dimensional barcode that contains a lot of data…

I ripped some items from Time Out NY dot com’s 101 things to do in NY this fall. Yes I’ve done all the museums, but I’m a museumy person (and exhibits change). I’ve left out concerts and…

I’m not sure why I’ve been getting a lot of traffic from here lately. I thought this site was only frequented by people I know. Leave a message below to introduce yourself.

Well, it’s been around for a while but I have been playing around on their site more often lately.

I obviously spend a load of time on the computer too. Here’s a summary of what I’ve been looking at.

This is a music platform similar to iTunes, and you can import…
Return from hiatus with gratuitous misuse of... →
Hi there.
It’s been such a long time since I’ve written anything here. Since my main audience consists of extended family and some dedicated friends, I guess I don’t feel too guilty. Strangely how…
Linguistic Isolationism (in the UK) →
I finally found a possible counter argument to all my complaints of the Grand Valley modern languages department:

I’m not blind to republicans →
After that last post, which was heavily leftist, I feel like I should point out that I believe there is something to be said for conservatism or the Republican party. I think that party association…
Health Care, or American Politics on the whole →
So, I’ve been hesitant to write about politics because (1) I haven’t studied politics and feel kind of bad contributing to the mass of thousands of uninformed voices, and (2) I’ve been out of the…
Logic! →
I find it (1) awesome that I still remember logic class, and (2) a little sad that the ability to laugh at this joke cost several hundred dollars – higher education.

Just Writing →
I think that the huge lack of blog posts is due to my perception of nothing quite interesting going on here. Then I realize that the little day to day changes add up and eventually you have no clue…
Japanese Dice →
I obviously had too much time on my hands today. I made dice, made a box for the dice, made a video, and then spent about three hours editing the video with subtitles because I thought the audio was…

I’m not really into dressing up. I think the last time I actually did was about three years ago. The random accessory strategy seems to work alright for impromptu costumes though. My room-mate lent…
