Welcome to Episode #5 of the Silent Noise Project. It’s snowing in here. How cheesy is that? [Update as of 20 January 2012: No, it isn’t snowing any more. It was cheesy. And it interfered.] This was originally going to be the “Quantum Mechanics and Red Leicester” episode, in honor of Monty Python’s cheese shop …read more…
As a lot of you know, I work as a moderator at the Graphene forum. Graphene is easily the most customizable theme for WordPress, which is the software I use to run all my blogs. On any given week, I spend between 10 and 30 hours helping folks out there, all in my spare time, …read more…
This week’s list of links are short because I just didn’t have the time. Maybe next week…who knows? But I like what is here: Alex of Flight Path explains stupid, ridiculous red-tape to his four-year-old son Robert. Here’s a cute take on the browser playground war. Do people think your writing is too well-written? Do …read more…
I’m writing this post at the library, because I don’t have internet access at home. I don’t have internet access at home because AT&T cut it off on Tuesday because I hadn’t paid the bill. I don’t blame them one bit for this, because paying the bill is my responsibility, and since I didn’t have …read more…
Earlier, I wrote about the quick response I got from TextBroker. In that post, I noted how even though it was taking them forever to rate my articles, they were able to respond to my email in less than 24 hours. Here’s where it gets weird. A couple of weeks after they sent me that …read more…

In general, I am loathe to put a lot of links on this blog because a lot of them just die faster than the speed of meme. But sometimes I come across stuff that I could share on Twitter or Facebook, but that’s a lot of work keeping track of all of that, and someone …read more…
Today was officially a good day, since I had a job interview after work, and was immediately offered the position. Good things about this job: It’s for a very good company (I checked this out) that has an excellent retention rate. It’s retail, and I got mad skillz at working retail, because I have really …read more…
As an example of the level that political discourse has sunk to in the United States (in which it is no longer necessary for those aspiring to the presidency to bother to check their sources), Herman Cain has told audiences (more than once apparently): “A poet once said, ‘life can be a challenge, life can …read more…
Earlier, I wrote about my less than satisfactory experience with TextBroker. In the interest of fairness, I sent them a message just after I published that initial post. This is what I said: When I log in, your front page states: “As soon as we receive an article from you we evaluate it. Your rating …read more…
