Here’s a kungfumaster site that is actually about kung fu
Okay, I’m back, and doing better than I should be. I loved my grandfather very much, he had a much bigger hand in who I turned out to be than even people who have known me for a long time might suspect. When I was really small, and my brother and I lived with he and my grandmother, I can remember getting out of bed at 5:30 am and sneaking to where I could watch him leave for work with his thermos and lunchbox. He was a great person, and though I think I’ve turned out to be a very different sort of person myself, I aspire to be the type of quality man that he was. If you’ve met me, you have met him, or at least a little part of him that lives on through me. Wherever you are now Gramps, just know that I am minding my own business.
After my personal absence, I had a business trip and then a busy week of work. This week, I'm traveling again. I'm wishing that I was going to SXSW, but I need a real vacation with beach, sun, and relaxation. I'm hoping this will occur in late March.
Well, there’s not much I can say right now except that updates will cease for the next few days. A close family member died last night, and I have much to attend to both inside and out. I want to write more, and probably will, once the dust has settled.

Like some other people, I’ve ordered one of these. Please discard any memory of my earlier post about becoming a full time Windows user.
This is a test wireless post from my iPaq.
I’ve been telling people that I’m platform agnostic for a while now. That I don’t care what computer platform I use, and I prefer one over the other just based on particular tasks. For the last two months, I’ve been using my Macs less and less. First it was all about databases. Then I bought the iPaq, and I had good reason to want all my scheduling, email, and contacts on one Windows machine. My investment in software is now buggin me, I don’t want to buy things twice, and I want everything I need on one machine. I’m gasp becoming a full time Windows 2000 user. Someone get Mac OS X over here stat.
Matt launches a new phase of his life and a new version of his personal site at a new URL. I just sit here working and listening to The Bends. It’s not about me though.
desktopimage.com is the first site I’ve been to in quite a while that made me say hmmmm.
The lack of posts has one reason behind it. I’m really busy. I worked this weekend, and will be working quite a few hours this week and next. I’m also looking to move bump.net to a more suitable hosting location that is inexpensive and includes database support and at least one major middleware platform. If you have had good experiences with just such a vendor, please email me.
Ev mourns. It’s so hard to believe that, with the talented group of people that were Pyra, that someone didn’t snap them up in a second. That some company out there didn’t see the value in their product. It’s potential. It’s a shame, that’s all I can say. Here’s wishing Ev the best of luck as he continues on alone, and all the others in finding something to move on to that will make them happy.
Think Outside has finally announced a stowaway keyboard for the iPaq. This is great since this is one thing that I have really missed since migrating from my Visor.
Crossgain vs. Microsoft: ‘Mooning the Giant’ Read this article. Microsoft hasn’t changed a bit since the anti-trust trial.
These odd folks took a cube and put it in a Macintosh Color Classic Case.
Issue 100 over at k10k is amazing. Joshua Davis tells his story. I’m reading it and I’m wondering how many of those of us who are in the Web business have similar stories and paths. That isn’t to say that my story is really similar to his. I don’t have the happy ending, but I’m working on it.
I used How Stuff Works yesterday to look up some very easy to understand explanations of networking concepts for a class I was involved in teaching. What a great site. Want to know how something works? Check it out.
My friend Clint and I have been amusing his dog quite a bit over the last couple of months with a handheld laser pointer. Little did I know that this patent existed.
This picture of some undocumented Microsoft Office features is both revealing and depressing. Who am I kidding? It’s hilarious.
This site has versions of two of the studio tracks that will appear on Amnesiac, their album due out this spring/summer.

The Onion has moved to New York. Am I right in thinking that this will make The Onion less funny over time as they lose their perspective and start making jokes that will only be funny to New Yorkers?
