I got a chance to take a look at the new Technorati during lunch today and I was pretty surprised. It seems like these guys are constantly reinventing themselves, still struggling to define the currency of the blogosphere. Is it the blog, the keyword, the tag, or the post itself?

I am changing the location of this blog again, hopefully for the last time. I recently reaccquired the rights to http://www.quietkid.net again, so I am moving this blog to that domain. You can read about how I originally lost the domain here. WordPress.com has been a great host and I would highly recommend it to [...]

Man, I’ve gotten myself into another posting slump again. I feel like half of all my posts are me apologizing to my non-existent readers about my posting irregularities. I have a lot of ideas to write about, but I can’t seem to get them out. So I’ll play a little catch up. I survived last [...]

In the last 48 hours he’s tagged at least 6 posts as RSS and I think there were even more that weren’t. He’s clearly got [...]

I have to say that I have been very impressed with WordPress.com. This has not been my first test of the service, but I have used it more consistently this week than I have in past weeks. I have used WordPress for a while now and the updates to the software are pretty nice. This [...]

Since seeing Garden State I have become a big Zach Braff fan and I have enjoyed reading his blog. After a long layoff, he recently made a pretty neat video post. He shows off a piece of the sky from Chicken Little and a Natalie Portman doll he made using leftovers from Star Wars. Celebrity [...]
