beerfest

Beerfest tomorrow at the waterfront! If you're going to be down there, hit me up.

WebHost4Life

I have a hunch about my current hosting.. That hunch is that I won't be renewing with them when my contract is up due to all of the breakage I continue to experience at both a server-level (outages) and programmatic level (lack of actual ASP.NET AJAX support). I guess I get what I pay for. :(

quake

Apparently there was an earthquake here this evening. A 3.3 on the richter scale. I honestly didn't feel anything, though it could have been because Winston was snoring.

Xbox

I watched the live Microsoft Xbox 360 event this evening on G4 (Thanks Rolando for the tip). There's too many good games coming out this year and not enough time to play them. How will I ever get good at Halo 3 when I'm constantly distracted by Mass Effect, Madden 08, NCAA 2008, GTA4 and Rock Band?

Web is Tough Reactions

PDF has a great perspective on the web is tough in his posting on why the internets are easy. I think in some ways, it can be as easy or as tough as you make it. An excellent read.

Congrats

Congratulations Kevin and Casandra! Hope you guys enjoy your honeymoon.

iphone hack

So the iPhone has already been hacked. Why does it always seem much more appealing once you know you can run homebrew on it? I totally went through this with the PSP...

The New Monday

The Thursday following a holiday is really a new Monday, which means I have to start all over, and by the time I get ramped up and back into the swing of work, Friday will be here again, and we'll have to do it all over.

First Thursday

Erika will be selling her work again this coming Thursday at First Thursday in Portland in the Pearl. If you're in town, come check it out. Otherwise, you can check out her fabulous work on her website.

Engadget posts their own thoughts on the iPhone.

Doomsday Clock

Listening to Doomsday Clock from the new Pumpkins. I'm already impressed, and it's only the first song. Even after seven years, I still am a sucker pumpkin.
