Show Me Your Lifestream
Posted on 06. Jan, 2009 by Chris.
Tonight I was playing around with my shiny new blog and I decided to try to aggregate my Twitter and Facebook status updates into the blog in some way, shape, or form. It’s not that I think that everyone needs this much information on my activities, but let’s face it: I am a hopeless ego [...]

And The Winner Is…
Posted on 29. Nov, 2008 by Chris.
Me! Suprisingly, despite all of my other projects and obligations this month, I managed to make it to the 50,000 word threshhold in the National Novel Writers Month competition. So far, less than 10,000 of the 117,000 entrants have crossed the finish line.
I would like to take this moment to thank the Academy, my family, [...]

I Finally Developed My First iPhone App, But…
Posted on 25. Nov, 2008 by Chris.
Well, I have jumped into the pool of iPhone app developers, seeking fame and certain fortune in a whole new stream of development. I have read the stories: man creates simple iPhone game and nets $250,000 in two months; girl creates iPhone app while watching episode of the Real Life on MTV and nets $25K [...]

More Funny Business

I came across this link via Twitter. Apparently, a man tried to pay his utility bill with a drawing of a spider. What’s the weirdest payment arrangement you ever tried to make?

Classic Video: The Matrix on Windows
Posted on 18. Nov, 2008 by Chris.
What would it be like if the Matrix ran on Windows? That was the question asked by a few college students who put together this video. Personally I hate all the porn and spam on MySpace, but this link was sent to me and the video warranted inclusion on the blog given my stance that [...]

My NaNoWriMo Strategy
Posted on 12. Nov, 2008 by Chris.
A few nights ago, I was doing some calculations on my current writing schedule as it pertained to the National Novel Writers Month competition. At the time, I had written about 8900 words. I started doing some math, which is something that computer-geeks like me do all of the time.
I figured I had to write [...]

Historic Vote
Posted on 05. Nov, 2008 by Chris.
So yesterday, we had a historic vote in terms of the race of the president selected and also in voter turnout. In this information age, it appears easier to motivate young people, who don’t typically participate as frequently by percentage in elections, to vote.
Here is one video I came across on a blog for a [...]

What Would Be the One Thing You Would Change in Sports?
Posted on 04. Nov, 2008 by Chris.
In light of today being election day and all, I decided I would write a little post on politics. I promise to generally steer clear of this topic, but I think everyone gets a free pass today, so I am taking mine.
Last night, during halftime of the Steelers fantastic victory over the Redskins, Chris Berman [...]

Nano-Nano!
Posted on 31. Oct, 2008 by Chris.
Ok, so for once, the inspiration from my title is a little more cryptic than a line from an 80’s song. And no, I am not getting ready to flog you over the head with some nostalgic piece about Mork and Mindy. Although, that would be oddly entertaining to me. Don’t ask me why - [...]

An Apple a Day…
Posted on 29. Oct, 2008 by Chris.
So late last night, I was trying to come up with an apple image for a new web project I am working on, when I stumbled upon a photoshop tutorial at PSDTuts that would help me create my own - from scratch! Being the geek that I am, it sounded like fun to me, [...]

Chapel Thrill, Baby!
Posted on 26. Oct, 2008 by Chris.
BLUE HEAVEN, NC - After an inauspicious start, the UNC Tar Heels shook off the bad play that began in the last two minutes of last week’s game against Virginia and layed a big smack-down on 23rd-ranked Boston College.
I was in Kenan Stadium the last time these two foes met there. Matt Ryan, now the [...]
