  •   It looks like I finally got these bad boys working. These little posts are called ‘asides’ and the only place you’ll find them is right here on the blog, they won’t be in your email subscriptions or rss, sorry. Basically they will give me the opportunity to post random thoughts, weblinks and more through out the day, without worrying about bombarding your inbox. They’ll be quite short in nature, so this one is a little odd. Following the post you’ll see a number in parenthesis (0), that’s the number of comments, click on it to read them. Then there is the # sign which is the link to the actual post if you want to send it to a friend or anything. And if your interested you can read all the asides here. much thanks to photomatt, for making it all possible. (1) #

New Look and new features…

Thanks everyone for taking a minute and filling out the survey. If you haven’t I would really appreciate it if you could.
There will obviously be a few glitches along the way but I wanted to try something different, a little more friendly and readable. Let me know your thoughts. I’ll try and continue to make it as useful as possible, but I didn’t want all the clutter. Let me know if anything about it is distracting also.

One new thing I wanted to point out is that for a limited time I’ve been featuring some quotes on the sidebar (on the left) of the frontpage. The quotes are provided by my brother, Keane, which he posts on a xanga. I’d strongly encourage you to check them out here or subscribe to his blog so you can read them each day. Keane seems to find the most fascinating and awe-inspiring quotes around. You probably would do well to just read Keane’s quotes, rather then spending time reading lot’s of entire books.

Also, like I said I’m no longer posting the daily podcast as a blog post. If you want to get it daily you can come to the frontpage of the blog and listen there. Or you can subscribe or visit My Odeo Podcast. I hope you keep listening and let me know if we need a forum for discussion on the podcast posts. Right now I’ve started a “Why?” series on the podcast trying to discuss my own answers as to “Why” I do certain things, from where I choose to live, to what I eat, to why I ride that funky bike. Let me know if you have any other why questions for me.

More writing to come, I just need some motivation…

A quick Survey for my redesign

Hey everyone, if you didn’t catch it yesterday, I’m redesigning my blog a little bit. I could use a little input from you on what’s worth having here and what I should ditch. Give me a minute of your time and fill this out.

Weekly Podcast Update 06.04.06

Now with some regularity:

Technical difficulties: Precondition Failed

So, the truth is I have not been too busy to write. Honestly I think letting myself go a day or two without writing got me out of the groove. I suddenly started thinking about what people would think about what I was writing, and if I was really a good enough writer to be doing this regularly.
I think I’m over it now.

But, excuse number to is this thing called Precondition Failed. Each time I mustered up the confidence to write I’d try to login and my own blog wouldn’t let me on cause it thought I was a robot (computer running through sites just to spam). I still can’t figure out why it did that.

Anyways, I was wondering if this happened to any of my regular readers as well? If so I’ll be sure to look into it. If not I’ll just go on about my business and start posting regularly again like I should have been all along.
