My True Colors

nato — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 08:18:12 +0000

Like most of what happens to me, I was accidentally in the right place at the right time to be interviewed by the Back Fence Babes Melissa Lion and Frayn Masters about "true colors," the theme of their then upcoming Back Fence event.

If you want to know more about me and my background, this story may help, if you believe any of it ;)

After my first 1,000 tweets on twitter, I've generated this tweetcloud:

Phoenix: It's Not ALL Goldwaterwasting Utilitaurs

nato — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 22:43:39 +0000

Now that I'm working for rSmart, I expect to need to be at their HQ in Phoenix, Arizona fairly often. Being a native Coloradan, I probably don't need to belabor our general attitude toward Phoenix: This land of water- and gas-guzzling conservative golfers should not exist.

But now that I've matured (some), I'm trying to have a more open mind. Also, as I have to keep coming back to Phoenix for work, I should try to find something here to like (besides my awesome colleagues at rSmart).

Chatting the iPhone

Since the icon is right there on your iPhone home and you signed up for all those extra or unlimited SMS messages, maybe you didn't consider using IM.

Or maybe you did, and I'm just slower than you ;) Well, I had mine for 20 minutes and immediately decided that free data is better than paid text.

Maybe the easiest way to IM on your iPhone is to point Safari to your meebo account (a web-based chat aggregator).

What's up with the pictures?

People have been asking what the deal is with the images in my site header.

I've been experimenting with loading random background images from my collection using Drupal's integrated jQuery tools.

I've been thinking about trying to work on having the images feed from a flickr stream, perhaps using the Drupal flickr module, yet be automatically sized/cropped for the site header. More on that if I get to it.

Praying to a New God: Ninkasi, The Sumerian Goddes of Fermentation

nato — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 22:16:07 +0000

My new favorite beer is made by Ninkasi, in Eugene, Oregon.

They make an IPA that is simultaneously deliciously bitter and has all kinds of floral flavors that make each sip a trip to the Sumerian equivalent of Nirvana (An?).

Which dessert rules?
