imightbeinatree - the tumblr blog
so i tried out tumblr for a few days, and now it has been a week, i'm leaving the site up for a while, but you shouldn't really expect new links here, i like the way i can embed pics and video into tumblr, i like the ability to highlight text to quote it, and i love the wysiwyg

i did have my own firefox extensions to help me run this site, and i think i could have come close to what tumblr did but i don't see any reason to go try when their platform is established and has other benefits as well (themes! twitter/facebook integration! you can follow other people!)

plus i've got plenty of other side projects to work on if i want to spend some free time hacking on some code

so tumblr it is! check it out, stop reading this and hit the link above

yahoo will be shutting down mybloglog
i remember working on the original site before yahoo bought it way back in the day, what a crazy ride it has been since then. love that they call mbl "a wildly innovative service".

great imagined monologue with alan shephard just before heading into space for the first time - or - why astronauts get blasted before they blast off
contains a bit of nsfw language

really random and irregular musings (blurbs)

okay seriously, you came back here, check it out, links (to the left) and blurbs (here on the right). the general idea is that blurbs tend to be longer and typically don't contain links, but whatever, this is the old stuff, really old stuff

Oh! Now I get it! They think corporations are people. No wonder they think a fetus is a person.

there is a big fuss over what nbc did to conan

i agree that nbc's shafting of mr o'brien sucks, but nbc is a big corporation and big corporations are built to do one thing, churn out large amounts of profit. big corporations (and some of the little ones) do many awful things that suck so that they can continue to churn out even larger amounts of profit (or in the case of certain dying large corporations-- any profit at all).

what i'm wondering is why so many people are up in arms, how often do you actually watch one of those conan, leno, letterman, kimmel, etc shows? i never do. adult swim has generally ruled my late night viewing since its inception on the rare occasion that i find myself actually sitting (or more appropriately lying) down to watch a bit of tv after 11pm. if i don't happen to like what is on adult swim there are other channels that consistently play other favored cartoons. i'll look for family guy, south park, king of the hill or the simpsons. barring finding any of those playing, i'll hit up the area of the tv with the history channel, animal planet, discovery.

sometimes, just maybe i'll hit up comedy central for colbert or stewart but i never check out the standard late night shows. there is just too much suck in them. i just wait for the internet to point out the good clips for me, and typically unless you mention another celebrity that i really like in the title, i skip it until other people i know are practically begging me to watch, then i give it a chance.

well everyone has been making a big fuss over a big company making an unpopular decision and i've seen several clips of conan recently, and i think he is pretty funny in those clips, i might watch a few more, sometime, like, if i'm pretty bored
