  • 101 Things in 1001 Days

    Seen over on LJ originally. The goal is to to do a preset list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. I think the hard part for me with coming up with 101 things. Maybe I should start off with 1 thing in 11 days, where that one thing is coming up with 101 things.

  • Shining

    Shining looks like it could rock. Check out the trailer.

  • OpenID, again

    A new beta of the OpenID plugin for Movable Type came out recently, so I thought I’d see if it would work better than the version I had been trying. After one try it was working just dandy. Even had someone else try commenting with it to make sure it worked (thanks again!).

    For those of you who haven’t heard of OpenID, it is something that was come up by the LJ folks at Six Apart. It lets people who have accounts on systems with OpenID post to remote blogs. I’d actually like to see the plugin I use have a list of trusted remote systems, since it really isn’t an authentication system. I hope to post a bit more on this in the near future.

    So just follow the instructions if you want to post here and not sign up for TypeKey. As usual, if it is abused, I’ll just turn it off.

  • Just in Case You Were Wondering

    Here’s a list of 1,159 naughty words according to the NFL. These are not allowed on personalized jerseys from the NFL Shop site. There are some interesting ones in there.

  • Colorize Me

    As seen over on Swirlychick’s LJ, the ColorQuiz. Give it a try.

    200509281758 Gregory+Blake took the free ColorQuiz.com personality test!

    “Takes easily and quickly to anything which provide…”

    As usual with these quizzes I take things with a grain of salt. I think the one thing that really rung true for me was the line “Anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to explore all its possibilities, and to live it to the fullest.” This has definitely been a big issue for me post transplant. And I’m still kind of rediscovering myself too, the whole experience has definitely changed me a bit.

  • Off to Boston for the Day

    Off to Boston to pick up some drugs, get my hair done, and maybe visit with some folks. I really should see who is in the cambridge/somervillish area during the day. Anyone up for lunch someday? Now that I’m feeling more mobile I am hoping to get up there more often (hopefully gas prices will come down some to help make that possible).

  • World of Warcraft, part 5

    Joi’s been playing quite a bit of WoW and has posted some of his observations.

    As you may have noticed, my blogging has been a bit light these days. This is partially due to the rigor in which I have taken on my research into the World of Warcraft (WoW). I’m still level 36 (out of a maximum of 60) so I am still a “newbie” but I thought I might share some of my observations. [Joi Ito’s Web]

    It’s fun watching others find various fun things in the game. Things that really don’t do anything besides add atmosphere. Pets you can buy for yourself. Recipes for food that turn you into a ninja or a pirate. Potions that shrink you down to mini size.

    I’ve actually been limiting my WoW time a bit. I used to be on quite a bit, now I try not to log in before 3 in the afternoon and not stay up late just to play. Though I have been having more fun again because I’ve been adventuring with friends more.

  • OpenID on Hold

    I will keep trying to get it set up for folks on LJ. When it works, it should be pretty slick. And it will make it easier for you folks to make comments (not like anyone comments on this blog anyways).

  • Testing OpenID

    If this works, LJ users will be able to leave comments.

    Trying again

  • There might be some oddness

    With this blog today as I fiddle with plugins. You have been warned.
