Welcome aboard!
19 Sep 2006I finally tired of running my own blog server, and since most folks use the feeds, I figure I will abuse Matt Mullenweg’s bandwidth rather than my own.
Welcome back?

Creative Hiatus — Sketching
In: Life
18 Sep 2006As a part of my creative hiatus, I have strated sketching. A lot. Still lifes mainly (people are still way off in the future), and mostly objects found on my desk and around the house.
Nothing worth showing yet, but it is relaxing to dissect an object line by line and then put it back together.

The Size of Storage
In: Life| Technology
18 Sep 2006Today, I took an inventory of the portable storage solutions I have with me at all times.
On the bottom, a Maxtor OneTouch III Mini Edition at 100GB. In the middle, an 8GB Zen Microphoto. On to, a mostly useless iPod Shuffle that I use as a thumbdrive.
The top two are provided for context. I also [...]
Suburban Wildlife
In: Life
15 Sep 2006Over the last 12 hours, we have had some pretty remarkable “wildlife” scenes in our yard.
Last night, as I took Wiggles out for her walk, she found a cat…a striped, stinky cat.
Skunk 1, Wiggles 0.
We suspect that it had been hiding under our back porch. We are taking steps to encourage it to find new [...]
Visual Beauty
In: Uncategorized
14 Sep 2006As I re-align my processing, I have discovered that the beauty of photographs really holds me. Many of my Bloglines subscriptions are now streams from Flickr. One photographer in particular that I have found captures images of power is Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir. There is something very powerful in her images, and she lives in one of [...]
On a creative hiatus
In: Life
14 Sep 2006Over the last 3 weeks, I have been unusually quiet, even for me. I am taking a creative hiatus and doing a lot of reading, by real writers, not just technical books.
I am also in the office a lot more than I have been for the last two months. Getting back into that takes a [...]
Looking for "Time Team" shows
In: Life
11 Sep 2006When I was in the UK in early 2003, I saw a great show on Channel 4, Time Team.
Of course I can’t find it in the US.
Does anyone out there have access to the DVDs or copies of the show I could get copies of? Or where do I buy them in the US?

Brad Feld: Used Mercedes Dealer
In: Uncategorized
8 Sep 2006So, with all the prognosticating about what Brad Feld is going to do next, I think I know what his next gig is.
Used Mercedes Dealer, specializing in cars with slight electrical issues.
Here’s one of the models he has in his Kevlar and Nomex lined showroom.
Ignore the flames.

Web Performance, Part VII: Reliability and Consistency
In: Web Performance| Web performance concepts| WebPerformance.Org
7 Sep 2006In this series, the focus has been on the basic Web performance concepts, the ones that have dominated the performance management field for the last decade. It’s now time to step beyond these measures, and examine two equally important concepts, ones that allow a company to analyze their Web performance outside the constraints of performance [...]
My wife thinks I have a problem
In: Uncategorized
7 Sep 2006This is what I found when I dumped out my pen/pencil case this morning. Does anyone out there find this unusual? I don’t.
