What? Tom Likes A Right-wing Blog?

January 16th, 2009 | 0 Comments | Politics, Strange Sites |

Rick Moran’s run­ning com­men­tary on this sea­son of “24” is spot-on. One of the things that makes Amer­ica the great­est coun­try in the his­tory of the world is that lib­er­als and con­ser­v­a­tives alike can join hands and agree that Chloe is awe­some.

A Best Site?

December 9th, 2008 | 0 Comments | Strange Sites |

This [link] gives me mixed emo­tions. I worked on the first site listed in the linked from its incep­tion through 2005. And while I haven’t worked on it since Decem­ber ’05 appar­ently no one else has either (the graph to the left tails off at Novem­ber, 2005, the last month I was there to post […]

First Night

November 25th, 2008 | 0 Comments | Books, Strange Sites, Tech Stuff |

I’m work­ing on a Web site for First Night of Maplewood/South Orange. And I’m not espe­cially happy with it. I’m find­ing new and excit­ing sIFR bugs for which I need to track down some solu­tions, par­tic­u­larly in how links don’t work in Safari. Prob­a­bly it would be best to just go with graph­ics for the […]

Am I A Nerd?

July 23rd, 2008 | 0 Comments | Entertainment, Strange Sites |

Not as nerdy as most. A “cool light-weight nerd” am I, which is cer­tainly a step or five up from where I was in high school. I won this cool badge:

Here’s another inter­est­ing Googlemaps mash-up, rot​ten​neigh​bor​.com. Use­ful infor­ma­tion no doubt; but also no doubt than some­where some­time it’s going to lead to some­thing ugly. Enter in an address or zip code and you’ll see a map of the neigh­bor­hood with lit­tle red, yel­low or green (mostly red) Monopoly-style houses with com­ments about what makes that […]

Working On A New Look (with poll)

May 9th, 2008 | 3 Comments | Art, Strange Sites, Tech Stuff |

This site’s design is a lit­tle over two years old, and it’s time for a change. I’m work­ing on some­thing that looks roughly like this, though with the spac­ing and font col­ors adjusted so it’s leg­i­ble:

You might be tempted to blow this post off because it’s about Pho­to­shop and you don’t use Pho­to­shop and prob­a­bly never will. That would be a mis­take, because in the “You Suck At Pho­to­shop” series build­ing tech­ni­cal skills is only tan­gen­tial to the story. The series starts like this: All eight episodes are play­ing right now […]
