As a test, I sent a Jott message to the address that allows me to post to […]
A few years ago, I remember reading something described as being “cooler than the other side of the pillow”. It took me a little bit to figure it out, but it’s an apt metaphor for Tumblr tumblelogs.
Simple. Easy. Fast. Cool.

There are 34 weeks until Burning Man 2007. Every week I’ll post a new idea, tip, or suggestion. Some of these will be things I’ve learned the hard way, other ideas are clever solutions my friends have developed.

I wanted to be able to use drag-and-drop to insert pictures, edit entries offline, and create blog postings with a minimum of fuss and bother. I planned on using the software on my PowerBook, so it had to run under […]

» Combined car/scooter MPG: ~57 MPG

I’ve been interested in this car for about two years. I first read about it online and […]
