– Poke a Dot - The Daily WTF
Not that it ever happens, but the next time I run into a bug that I just can’t fix I’m throwing in the comment “this will not work on Sundays” just for shiggles.

– Steve Jobs: Thoughts on Flash (via marco) (via pete3)
Obviously, this article was tough for me—a Flash developer—to read, but I highly encourage all Flash developers out there to read it and take it to heart.
I don’t want to be one of those people that gets left behind because I...

… “Fashionable?” Sure. Because, like most busy people, I suddenly get all Karl Lagerfeld whenever a random ad for an SEO newsletter crashes my browser.
Thinking Flash is the only medium for serving fresh and charming content is like thinking you can’t have a good cheeseburger…
It was a throwaway “Family Guy” joke. But hey, at least now I know what it feels...

Always let your conscience be your guide
When Adam and I first started dating, he didn’t want me using his real name/picture on my blog—this was pre-Tumblr, btw. To accommodate his wishes, I would refer to him as Neutron (Adam→Atom→Neutron), and I represented him with a picture of Jiminy Cricket. The image wasn’t a random throwaway; he made me want to be a better person and I considered him to be my conscience.
Well,...

Pretty good odds
With the small exception that is Joseph Martens’ “Sunday Morning Coming Down”, it’s been a long time since I’ve listened to music on radio in my car or otherwise. For years, I listened to talk radio (RealRadio 104.1FM in the Central Florida area), then I moved on to podcasts—mostly of the NPR variety.
When I did listen to music radio, one of my favorite things...

Volcano may keep me in Norway. Maybe a colleague will loan me their Viking longboat for the trip home. (Yes, all Norwegian’s own one.)

I guess the 8 months I went without posting about The Bathroom at Work was the proverbial calm before the storm.
A storm of piss, that is! On the toilet seat!! Even though we have paper toilet seat covers!!!
Assholes, this is a bathroom in an office building. It’s not some bombed out port-o-john at The Gathering of the Juggalos. There’s absolutely no reason for you to hover while you...

True Story
In the early 2000s, Mike Judge stumbled across a time machine. It was kind of a jank time machine; it could only go ten years in either direction. Given this choice, he chose forward.
When he arrived in 2010, he made his way to the nearest TV and tuned it to MTV where he was greeted with an episode of “Jersey Shore” followed by a commercial for KFC’s Double Down sandwich. He...

Bob: I just looked up Cabot yogurt and I know why it’s like crack. 23g of fat, 15g saturated fat. That’s about the same as a quarter pounder with cheese! I have to eat the 0g fat stuff on my diet plan. No wonder it’s so awful.

“To dream that you find or discover new rooms, suggests that you are developing...”
– Dream Moods Dictionary
I dreamt that our house had a fireplace that we never used. One day, I came home and Adam was excited to show me that not only was the fireplace fake, but it was also a doorway to a hidden room.
“Finally, I can have my own craft room!” I told him. This room was...

My divorce from Brighthouse
tl;dr? Here’s the short version: AT&T U-verse > Brighthouse.
atomatic:
So a few folks have asked me to review my switch from TV & Internet from Brighthouse Networks to AT&T’s U-verse, which is an IP-based, fiber to the door service. Not much to say about the internet except that it’s pretty solid. Doesn’t dip at peak times and they give you a router with a built in...
But it could be true, I guess...

Getting out of an abusive relationship today. Bye bye Brighthouse, hello U-verse.
Suck it, Brighthouse.
AT&T, this better not turn out to be an “out of the frying pan, into the fire” scenario. We’ve been burned before and now we’re twice shy.
Ok, I’m done with the crappy mixed metaphors.
Need inspiration?
