Entering 33

on 24-Sep-2005 in General

Today I am entering my 33rd year on the planet. Pretty amazing! Birthdays stopped meaning much to me a long time ago, but this one feels nice for some reason. So far, my 30s feel much better than my 20s, despite some setbacks. Maybe being a father has something to do with it. So I’m [...]

Planet Mozilla Scraping

on 5-Sep-2005 in Blogging, Lizard

It seems like some of my old posts are being re-indexed in Planet Mozilla’s feed with a time stamp of today. At this point, I don’t know why. My feed looks fine. So if it looks like I am having a particularly prolific day of posting, well it is not the case! Er, sorry.

Darkly Intriguing

on 5-Sep-2005 in Reading, The Flicks
