Average Homeboy

Don’t let this guy’s name fool you. Average Homeboy is way, way below average. I rapped better in my high school health class video.
Also, I think this guy gave up rapping for the life of a fitness guru.

del.icio.us Network

del.icio.us just added a new feature. You can now add other users into your network, making it easier to keep track of other people’s bookmarks, or as I like to call it “getting down with OPB” (yeah, you know me!).
Your network page shows the most recent bookmarks across all your contacts, just […]

Free Packet of SketchUp

Google bought @last Software, makers of intuitive 3D design application SketchUp, and is offering it for free download, just as it has done with Google Earth, and Picasa.
I like SketchUp’s interface a lot. It’s really easy to make (orthogonal) 3d shapes, and rotate your view, some basic things a lot of other […]

Oh, For Pete’s Namesake!

I have a predilection for clothing with my name on it. Be it a t-shirt with Peat on the front, or the recycling symbol PETE, I will wear just about anything that closely resembles my name. If I wore hats, I would have already bought the Pistol Pete basball cap. Which is […]

But What Have You Done For Me Lately?

It seems to me like Flickr is stagnating. What with all this talk about how Web 2.0 companies are constantly evolving, implementing changes in days, instead of months, I haven’t seen anything new out of them in a while.
I troll the Flickr Ideas forum and there are a couple of things people have been […]

Sends me SMS reminders on my cell phone.
Click and drag events to differnt days
“Layer” your events. That is, overlay a holiday calendar on top of your work calendar on top of your personal calendar.
Inivte friends to […]

Right to Privacy

Like most people, I don’t know much on the legality of this subject. I know that unlike the pursuit of happiness, privacy is not guaranteed by the Constitution (the preamble counts). We have all sorts of rights to say and do stuff in public view, but not in the privacy of your own […]

No Snarfin’ Way!

Holy shit! Thundercats on DVD! No way was I anticipating see this ever again. Not that I’ll buy it, but it’s comforting to know that it’s out there.
I wonder if they include these wonderful Thundercats outtakes.

Taxation Without Innovation

If I made any sort of money, or had any sort of portfolio, or any sort of dependents, I would probably care more about the tax season. But it’s really not a hassle for me at all. Besides being able to deduct the interest from my student loans, the tax process is pretty […]

Unfortunately, This is No April Fool’s Gag Either

Snow in April. What won’t they think of next? Inappropriate words of the day?

Yup. Looks like it.
