I’m live again from the Viddler HQ in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I like keeping track of the things we accomplish when we get together not only for myself to review, but also so that you can follow along. 9:30am – Woke up around 6, left at around 7:30, arrived at Viddler HQ – hit up [Starbucks](http://www.starbucks.com/retail/locator/MapResults.aspx?a=1&StoreKey=102139&IC_O=40.5942116337845:-75.3687469248812:32:…

I’ve finally had the chance (over this past weekend) to update my site a little. After fiddling with a few ideas that I had I got to thinking that I’d just grabbing a free theme and that working off of it would help save me some time, effort, and a whole lotta headaches. It turned…

There is a ton of hustle and bustle on the part of the Viddler team, and some of the forthcoming things are by far the most exciting releases Viddler has done to-date. But, instead of focusing on what has yet-to-come, I wanted to point y’all towards a few things that have already been done. The…

Viddler is running a little contest to see who can best impersonate their favorite actor and role. I’m no good at impersonations and I couldn’t find a box of chocolates quick enough to put together a Forrest Gump video, so I threw together this short snippet of me training as Rocky. Me as ROCKY This…

WordPress 2.1 has been released, and some of the latest features intrigued me (mostly the speed improvements and the fact that one of the official MySQL dudes went through all of the queries), so I’ve upgraded this site to "Ella". If you experience any problems, let me know. If you don’t, upgrade your own blog…

My question about iTunes can be found on TheUberGeeks. If you know of the answer, post it there, since it will allow others to benefit from your infinite hacking skills. My other issue is of where some of my posts belong. As most of you know I write for TUG.n and have since starting it…

For those of you that do not know, I’m filling in over at Viddler as a Community Evangelist for awhile. We’ve been making great progress so far, and today I’m heading down to Viddler’s headquarters in Bethlehem, PA (about an hour and half from our apartment). You can look at my profile over on Viddler,…

Quick update: PodTech and Seagate held a competition. I entered. They announced the winners. It looked like I won, but I didn’t. But something has gone wrong. There was supposed to be third place winner(s). They did not list a single third-place winner. A number of us asked in the comments, and on our blogs,…

Why? I signed up a few weeks ago for the very first time as an experiment to see if it really worked. I’ve always heard that if you got onto MySpace, setup your profile a little, and just waited – that people would find you. And I can tell you that it is completely true.…

Seagate and Podtech held a contest to win a 750GB external Seagate drive. I entered. They announced the winners and at first glance it appears like I won. But, if you read the entry word-for-word you will see what I merely came in fourth place first. Congrats to Christopher Penn for his win. Enjoy the…

As some of you know I’ve joined the Viddler team for a month to help build up some of the community over there. It has been a fun first three days. I wanted to give an overview of some of the things we were able to do this week as well as give a general…

It was 66-degrees yesterday here in Northeastern Pennsylvania and today it was around 50 and is raining right now. In "Hotlanta" (Atlanta, Georgia) it was snowing (or so reports the National Weather Service). Update: Atlanta also had some fun dealing with a Tornado that did quite a bit of damage. What does all this weird…

My telescope Last night the moon was nearly full and the sky was crystal clear. So I decided to take my Meade 114 eq-asb telescope that Eliza bought me for our seventh wedding anniversary out for a spin to do something relatively simple; look at the surface of the moon. At least I thought it…

Google recently announced the release of their patent search. I thought I’d do a little sniffing around to see what I could find and to my surprise I stumbled onto this patent for a "Finger puppet". In June 2003 Eliza, Chris, and I went to Niagara Falls. We had a great time even though I…

Last week I was 189.6 pounds and this week I’m up 0.4 pounds and sitting pretty at 190.0 pounds. Let me tell you thought, this is a miracle in itself due to the amount of food I ate. Eliza had some family in this past weekend and she made lasagna (one of many of my…

I need more storage so that… I don’t have to make rash decisions on what personal data to keep (especially photos) just because I’m running out of room on my laptop. I love using a laptop as my main computer. It’s portable, compact, and works almost as well as a desktop. Currently the main caveat…

While doing some dishes today I thought of starting a "meme" of sorts. How could I capture the reasons why I think I’ve been successful on the diet and help to encourage those who have not, or who have yet to start their diet. I’ve come up with these five questions, and hopefully my answers…

I’ve been asked in many ways about the state of the-diet. I’ve put off an update until I had chosen a direction to go with it since I’m now in a different stage of the diet than I was before. It took me about 20 weeks to get close to my goal. I never actually…

My wife Eliza has said before that she loves Wednesdays. So perhaps it is of little surprise that I too enjoy Wednesdays. I have a few reasons for really liking this particular day of the week. LOST New DVDs from Eliza A chance to see what you’ve already done for the week, and what is…

My good friend Josue is "rearranging" his site. He now has everything setup in small chronological notes. I like it. [tags]josue salazar, weblog[/tags]

I have decided to start collecting all of my better posts from various other sources and putting them all on my personal blog. More for the search-ability than anything. This article was first posted to Business Logs, almost exactly as you see it below, and was also featured in a magazine. Speaking from experience, using…

Under the Tusken Sun is a video short about teenaged love on Tatooine. (via Jeremy Zawodny) [tags]video, short, tusken raider, sand people, starwars, tatooine[/tags]

Blue Sky Studios, the creators of Ice Age, have a challenge blog. The latest challenge? Favorite Pixar Characters. (this was from back in August) (via Luxo) [tags]blue sky studios, pixar, drawing, art, animation, pixar[/tags]

A view from the top is a guest post on a friend’s blog about quitting World of Warcraft when the person had gotten to the top. Reads like most addiction quitters. There is a redux and an alternative point of view too. (via Waxy) [tags]addiction, quitting, world of warcraft[/tags]

My site doesn’t look like your typical blog. A typical blog layout usually consists of a date oriented archive structure, a categorical listing of posts, etc. I’m not too huge a fan of these means of taxonomy. Not that they are bad or don’t work, I just prefer a flat, miscellanea pile of tags rather…

"This week, I see a ton of articles saying WWDC 2006 is a disappointment, and even speculating that maybe Steve Jobs is sick. I simply don’t have words for this. Leopard is still three quarters away. There’s a LOT of work to do, yet. At the keynote, everybody got a sneak-peak at some of the…

Some people live life month to month, week to week, or day to day. However, sometimes I try to live almost second by second. This isn’t something I’ve always strived to do, but rather something I’m slowly working myself towards. I make repetitive errors just like everyone else, and I’m trying to stop the process.…

A few weeks ago, some friends of ours asked us to attend a dinner and show at Woodloch Pines in Hawley, Pa. Eliza and I on the bus So Eliza and I decided to check it out, and see what all the hubbub was about. Dinner was very good, they kept bringing plate of food…

Wow, I have been chomping at the bit to tell all of you what has been going on, and now I finally can. When the-diet started it received an overwhelming amount of response. Family, friends, and then strangers started to join in to get fit. There was no plan for this diet, no one had…

Just when I thought my head was unable to grow larger, since being quoted in a nationally syndicated magazine, one of my Macbook photos was published in a small publication called Geekanoids. Inner page of Geekanoids preview issue The preview issue can also be downloaded as a PDF. I’m actually thinking of picking up a…

As excited as I am to read everyone’s first week results, I was even more anxious to figure out my own. This week has gone very well and while there were some definite hurdles placed in front of me, I feel that overall I did a very good job and have come out even more…

Well, so far so good for me. I was hoping that asking other people to join me would actually motivate me, and I think it definitely has. I was hoping that posting my ugliness on the Web would also be a motivation, and that has been too. The overwhelming response to the diet has been…

I used to write a diet log, that is – when I was actually on a diet. Mike, Chris and I will be "competing" in a diet contest. Since it is very hard to compete for pounds, or percentage of body fat, etc – we’ve decided that we’re just going to try to help each…

If you haven’t submitted your site yet, don’t forget. And, if you have, try to spread the word on your blog or to your friends via IM or any other means at your disposal. We’re really looking to diversify, and we need you help to do so. Five hours left, so get to it.

Chris Rhee, a member of the 9rules Network and friend, has had $5,000 or so worth of equipment stolen from right beneath his nose. We’re try to help out, and I’m asking that anyone else that can help out should too. Link to him from your blog too, if you get the chance. Side note:…

Upon reading the title of this post, you’re probably escorting your children out of the room before continuing to read it. But I can assure you, the title is intentionally deceiving. For years I’ve been tied to some type of desk. Obviously having a laptop helps me “unplug” every now and then. But, being in…

I hope someone finds this interview with me interesting. I had fun doing it. Thanks Tyme for including me on the BizBlog show.

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…

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?
