David Peralty has given me enough. His BloggingPro blog is nothing but a waste of his time (counter-intuitive to this post, but relevant), my time, his Web host’s resources, and my computer’s resources. The writings on his blog are worth next to nothing, which makes me wonder why I even read them. It’s almost as […]

This summer, among many summers at camp, I will be officially working for the first time (unlike the fake work I did last summer that some of my friends may remember), which means I will come home with some cash (hopefully). Anyone who knows me also knows that I don’t hold on to money for […]

People do make stupid mistakes. That doesn’t mean they aren’t stupid. It means that they either don’t pay attention before they perform the mistake, or ignore the after-effects. I chose the former, by deleting my Technorati claim on Educated.
I thought I was deleting the claim on (one of) my other, totally untouched blogs. But at […]

Ryan decided to start his own blog recently, probably in response to my new blogging obsession. So I ended up giving him the low-down on blogging. Here’s what I told him:
…The key point to success with any type of web site, be it a blog or business portfolio, is content. That means you should post, […]

This lovely vacation day of mine brought me to both my orthodontist, and then to the Apple store in Manhattan (three buses and two subway trains later). I saw the entrance to the store last night, and then decided to come here. I actually began posting this from one of the Macs at the store. […]
