So I'm moving to a MovableType weblog hosted on the webhost I've been paying for but not really using. The address is http://www.gradman.com/blog

I use an RSS news aggregator to download all my friends journals and read them all at my leisure outside my web browser. I highly recommend you take a look at such a client, as it will allow you to ( Read more... )

I'm fascinated with this medium. Six months ago, I was extremely skeptical of blogging and AIM. Even though I contribute far less to the "blogging community" than others who are truly advancing this medium, I still see endless possibilities for its ability to transform our computers from devices of computation to devices of communication.

Its 2am. I can't sleep. I wish my first night in this new apartment would be less fraught with worry. I laid in bed, waiting for a phone call that I thought was mere minutes away, but it didn't come. I passed out for 30 minutes, and when I awoke everything was wrong ( Read more... )

My body's frailty is pissing me off. Surely its not too much to ask to search and destroy a couple germs? I had a fever this morning when I awoke. I was navigating LA's vast interstate parking lot system soon thereafter, going nowhere fast. "At least," I thought to myself "I'm comfortable." Thats when I realized that it was 90 degrees outside ( Read more... )
