(October 02, 2007) goodbye, i'll let you go

This website was 'created on' 15-Apr-2002 22:32:20 UTC Was that a Monday? So around 10:30pm, on a Monday night in 2002, I created this website? I believe it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't true, as well. Stupidly --or by accident-- I registered this website until 2012. I'm...

(August 15, 2007) What Makes a Good Blog Entry?

I'm sure I could google-search the title of this entry and find a few dozen blog entries about how to write a great blog entry... but that wouldn't help me at this point. I'm not sure if I ever really knew how to write an entertaining blog entry, but I...

(January 11, 2007) Project 365

Since I have been named Time Magazine's Person of the Year, I thought I would do something special this year. Yes, everybody seems to be doing it, but I will be taking one photo everyday and adding it to my Project 365 '07 Flickr Photoset. I've only been doing it...

(October 18, 2006) This Entry Is About Lists About Blogs

As frequently as once a week and as infrequently as once a month, I check my facebook and myspace pages. I have found that I have three types of friends: (1) they don't know what a blog is, (2) they have a blog, or (3) they think blogs are stupid....

(June 30, 2006) Changing Things Around And Getting Used To It

I'm in the process of changing the layout for this site, so enjoy the minor hiccups, and I hope you like what you see. I've successfully completed my move up north to Portland. I'm actually living with my boyfriend and his family in his parent's house. I'm starting to get...

(April 23, 2006) New Media (aka the blogosphere) Surveyed in The Economist

Has anyone else read the most recent Economist (April 22nd-28th 2006)? There is a very interesting indepth article on internet media --more than a dozen pages! It discusses blogging, where journalism is headed, the importance of sharing, podcasting, and more. Websites mentioned include Movable Type, Dollarshort, Technorati, Ohmy News, Flickr,...

(April 04, 2006) I Have A Blog?

Oh, little one, I have forgotten about you. I have little to nothing to blog about, but I have been out 'living it up.' But, you know, this is my blog and I don't need excuses! All I need is a keyboard and an internet connection. Ha ha ha! Class...

(March 06, 2006) All Blogged Out? Blog Blues? Men Reds?

I've been listening to Joshua Radin all day and am particularly sappy/melancholy for the moment. Do not jump to conclusions; I am not ending this blog, nor am I going on hiatus. I just felt like taking a moment to jot down some honest thoughts. So, let me be honest...

(February 28, 2006) Custom 404 Page?

The other day I decided that getting a 404 page from my domain must be pretty lame, so I set off to make a custom 404 page. I check Google and, of course, there are a million pages telling you how to the same exact thing. In the end, I...

(February 19, 2006) All My Firefox Bookmarks Were Lost... And Then, Found!

My laptop was improperly shutdown last night, and when I launched Firefox v1.5 this morning, I found that all my bookmarks were gone. I have heard that bookmarks are lost because Windows is shut down too soon --not that Firefox is unstable. Supposedly, it has something to do with when...

(December 17, 2005) Photos, Videos and More on Trip to Come Soon...

Back from Las Vegas. The rest of the week (and maybe longer) will be full of blog posts updating you about my trip in Nevada and a bit of Arizona as well. I'll admit I need a vacation from my vacation, since it wasn't relaxing one bit. Now, this is...

(December 05, 2005) The foolishness of myheritage.com and other similar websites...

You can't go very far on the internet without seeing some online quiz that tells you all about yourself. I know they're "just for fun" but I'm amazed when people say things like, "THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I AM 100% A+++++!" or "THIS THING IS WRONG TIMES INFINITY F----!" They're...

(December 01, 2005) Five Random Things About Myself

...because Esther asked for it. 1. I am probably best defined as a "NPR-listening, Starbucks-sipping, Volvo-driving with the Golden Retriever in the back" type of person --regardless that I'm too poor to afford Starbucks regularly or a Volvo. 2. I want to grow old without a facelift. I hope that...

(November 10, 2005) Google Ads! Wow, what a SELL OUT!

I decided to try out google ads. You'll only find them if you click to comment on a post. Supposedly I get 197 unique visitors a day and only a few of you are commenting, so... Yeah, not too much you can complain about, eh? So far I find the...

(October 28, 2005) Spam!

I have been getting bombarded with COMMENT SPAM this week. I've added a dozen IP addresses to the "ban list" in just the last two hours. I know I should either get mt-blacklist, or update to the new mt in general... But I'm lazy/busy. Gosh, I do not like comment...

(October 25, 2005) Don't cry Baby, you're worth more than that

My blog is worth $10,161.72.How much is your blog worth? So, um, how can I cash out?...

(September 01, 2005) What could an Oregon girl say about Hurricane Katrina?

This is my post of the day. I just couldn't update w/o mentioning the hurricane (like every other blogger with a conscience) and every other post topic seemed trivial in comparison. When disaster strikes, I think as a blogger I'm supposed to: 1) Pick a charity for you to give...

(May 27, 2005) A three-day weekend!

Will freedom from school take away all desire to update? Or will boredom drive me back into the arms of the blog updater page thingy? Oooooh, the suspense!...

(May 20, 2005) Where Did the Baton Come From?

I figured since this baton meme is new, it wouldn't be too hard to track its original creator. All I would have to do was click the link that is first mentioned in every entry. So... First, Kitta, who gave it to me. Then, Sergio, who gave it to her....

(August 01, 2003) Reflection on deleted entries

I just found a disc with my middle school and high school internet/weblog work. 1997-2001 ::insert nostalgic moment:: For those readers that have kept up with my antics over the course of time, you'll notice that my writing style has changed a little bit. At the very least, I tend...
