19 Things Relearned This Past Weekend (18 Jan 2009).
Catching up with Doug at the end of January (29 Jan 2009).
New website design (sort of) and the trip to Tuscaloosa to see Neil Gaiman (20 Feb 2010). This past Thursday, Sarah and I went down to Tuscaloosa to visit the University of Alabama campus (especially Gorgas Library) and to attend an event featuring one of my favorite authors: Neil Gaiman. I talk a little bit about that event and some about changing the layout of my site to better work with mobile devices and so forth.
Me and My Ear: the pain and sorrow that was March 2010 (19 Mar 2010). I've just went through all sorts of fun times with my ear causing me pain and other issues. This brief telling may count as a warning to the rest of you.
The Solitude Project (March 24 through June 24, 2010) (23 Mar 2010). I have begun to wonder the power of solitude in our day and age. However, rather than some project where you go completely without contact, or completely without social sites, or some other extremes, the plan is to merely redirect some of the energy spent on social connections back into self-development, quietude, and peace. To perform this miracle of the modern age, I will use a simple Quadrant system. The time spent upon secondary contact (meaning all contact not fully developed or fulfilling) will be fourthed. The new free time will have new direction.
Where I am at with solitude, the Shell station incident, the late semester course load, and the night of weird questions (12 Apr 2010). This is a general catch-up post, one I have not done in a while: the solitude project continues, with mixed results. I got kicked out of a gas station (which is sort of old news, now). I am winding down to only two big, and two smaller, projects remaining, and tonight is the night weird computer errors and odd student requests.
Roast Chicken, Densho Otoko, Usual Suspects, and a relaxing weekend (9 May 2010). I am not 100% sure what the weekend was supposed to have entailed, but after sleeping for hours on Saturday and deciding to not leave the front door on Sunday, it ended up with me watching a few movies on my long overdue list, eating snacks, and hanging out with Sarah.
My greatly shrinking online footprint, mixtape for my brother, and 3000+ visits to DoaB (12 May 2009). Over the past few weeks, I have greatly changed my online presence to just a couple of core sites. I'm starting to twitch. In other news, making a mix-tape for my brother, Danny, and my website has reached 3000+ visits since December.
Thirty-third birthday weekend, other assorted sundries (1 Jun 2010). I turned thirty-three this weekend. In the next four months, about nine (more) days and I'm not sure how many hours, I will be 33.3333333..., or exactly a third of a century. By the way, my birthday weekend was boring...and excellent.
Setting myself on fire, Xenogears, Torchwood, Time's Arrow, and so forth... (14 Jun 2010). While I was going to say that it was a boring day, turns out...well, it was a blast. At least no books were harmed. In other news: semi-old school videogames, being 4 or so years behind a series all my friends have watched, and a book that makes all of my 'backwards in time' jokes not only redundant, but inadvertent plagiarism.

Slipping on sidewalks, too much candy, just enough snow, and other morsels of delight from my Christmas 2010 (29 Dec 2010). Christmas has come and gone. This one was better than most, possibly the best one in years as far as emotional ups and downs go. With the exception of snow + time = another leak, I'm pretty happy about it all. From slipping on sidewalks to eating too much candy, here is my Christmas 2010.
