  • Paul’s team

    I’m the white guy from Pennsylvania and I refuse to comment about “the package”. I’m proud to be on such a Mutley Crüe [sic].

  • Dancing with Drew

    Eliza and I agreed, if Jerry Rice won “Dancing with the Stars” we would have freaked. Not that I don’t give “mad props” to Jerry for improving as much as he did, but in the end the competition was not based purely on skill nor improvement, but the number of fans you were able to

  • Umm Moana?

    Dude, Moana should have definitely won. I mean, definitely should have. Sara, or Sarah (the woman he picked) is head over heels for the Doctor from Nashville, in comparison to Moana having a true connection that goes much deeper than the “barbie & ken” experience. It’s just bullcrap, because Travis wasn’t up to the challenge

  • Small things change the overall experience

    I’m writing this post, while sitting at my dining room (I use this term loosely) table, using Flock.  No, not the built in blogging capabilities (they suck), but still using Flock for the second full day in a row.  I’m also using my new bluetooth mouse. Though these two things do not change what I’m

  • One thousand per week

    The way I figure it, I’m deleting about 1,000 emails per week. This includes approved blog comments, forum notifications, spam, and other stuff I no longer need. How many emails are you deleting per week?

  • Tic-Tac

    Usually when people offer you a Tic-Tac, its because your breath needs some attention. Abizer, of Stompy.org, offered to send me a bluetooth Apple mouse – which I’ve named Tic-Tac – without ever smelling my breath. Thanks Abizer, this baby is going to get put to some very good use.

  • Jealousy

    I’m enjoying the weekend, but thought I’d hop on for a minute or two, and noticed something that made me feel a twinge of jealousy. I’m generally not a jealous person. For instance, if you roll by me in a brand new Jaguar and think I’ll turn green, you’re probably wrong. I’ll shake your hand

  • Soy Gringo

    I’m going to learn Spanish. I fully realize that I’m probably not worthy, yet, to start writing blog posts in Spanish (which I plan on doing in the future), since (spanish slang to follow:) soy gringo. Loosely translated, it means I’m a dirty American. I love this language already! I can’t wait to learn more,

  • I love Paul Scrivens

    Not in that Brokeback Mountain kinda way (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but in the way that you would if someone was willing to stand behind those that’d be willing to stand behind him. Today was a rough day. But, when the smoke clears, the only one that will be standing there with

  • Moana will definitely win the Bachelor

    I called it before, and having not been able to watch Monday’s episode till tonight, I wasn’t sure if my prediction would hold water. Yet, after watching the latest episode of The Bachelor, I can say with relative confidence that Moana will win the Bachelor.

  • New TUG stuff

    A new member, and a new homepage.

  • I lost some Flickr views

    I’ve had a ton of photos (and screenshots) on Flickr that have gone well over 1000 views. A few of my screenshots are in the 5,000 range. Recently, however, I had a photo that almost surpassed 1000 views in record time, and I was going to mention that fact – except that I lost some

  • Hobby projects

    I always like to have at least one or two hobby projects going. All work and no play makes Colin a dull boy you know. Sometimes I’m ready to start up brand new projects, stuff I haven’t done before or whatever. This time, however, I’m thinking about redoing something I’ve already done. (Image missing) I’m

  • The RSS Advisory Board

    I wish I was on The RSS Advisory Board. I think I could contribute a great-deal to that effort. *hangs head*

  • Things I’d love to do, but will never be good at

    I’d love to play piano, but no matter how hard I try – I suck. I simply can’t get it. Perhaps its my inability to "hear" music the way musicians do, or whatever, but its something I desire to do and just can’t. I’m considering taking real lessons, and if I do – and they

  • Grizzly Man

    Grizzly Man has been talked about a lot [on the Internets recently](http://technorati.com/search/Grizzly Man) (partially due to the fact that it was on TV for all to watch). My opinion, to be as straight-forward and honest as I know how, is that Timothy Treadwell did everything wrong. As altruistic as he was in the beginning, his

  • This week, has been a fairly good week.

  • Time to see some talent

    I was glad that last night’s American Idol was the last episode of the horrible funny contestants. I was getting sick of it. Now I’m ready to see some fresh talent.

  • Give, give, and give some more

    Helping friends move is something that comes in the “I’ll be your friend” contract, right? I’ve always had more than enough assistance from friends when I’ve moved. So its only fair that I return the favor. However, I think there is something more to helping out your friends then “returning favors”. Many people, including myself,

  • Clickity clank, Clickity clank

    I posted this photo on Flickr and some people, including some of the people that commented, were surprised what I develop on. Overall, I really can’t complain. My iBook runs fairly well, it’s incredibly mobile, and it was affordable. However I do find myself craving more real estate, higher resolutions, and a bit more horsepower

  • LinkedOut

    “Your invite from XXXX to be linked on LinkedIn will expire in XXXX days”. Who cares? Update: Just FYI I’ve been invited to link up with hundreds of people, and I’ve seen very little value in actually following through with it. Hence this reaction. I think I’ll delete my account soon, if for no other

  • Game day

    Today the Steelers take on the Seahawks for the title of World Champion. As much as I want the Steelers to win, I’m hoping for an exciting game thats fun to watch. Oh, and a couple of great commercials couldn’t hurt. I wonder how many Apple ads we’ll see?

  • Indifferent about it being Friday

    For some reason, I’m not excited about it being Friday today. Usually I’m at least happy that the week is over and that the weekend is beginning, but this week not so much. The reason this strikes me as weird, is because this Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday (do I have to pay someone for

  • Paula Abdul is putting on a show, and some of the better Idol-wannabes might be suffering for it

    Eliza and I, in addition to watching The Bachelor, watch American Idol. As I’ve said elsewhere, I like to watch the beginning (aka the funny part of the season), and then watch the end where they’ve already drilled down to the last four wannabes. This year, at least in my opinion, it seems as though
