It’s been a while since I’ve written anything here, but I can’t say that I have anything real interesting to write about…

It’s 98 degrees in Gresham right now.

My contracting job is almost up, and we banged out this web site in 6 weeks: http://www.xrankcelebrity5.com/. There’s a good chance that I will stay and work full time for this company (Avenue A | Razorfish).

Bren is having her wedding dress altered today, or something like that. I’m staying inside the air-conditioned house.

We just finished watching “The Wire” seasons 1-4, and now we’re watching “Dexter“. The Wire was great, and so is Dexter so far.

I installed a plugin for Windows Media Center to watch Netflix Watch Now movies via the WMC interface. It’s nice.

The Astros are awful. They will be playing the BoSox again today. The Kansas City Royals are doing as well as the ‘Stros.

I like this comic, as I believe that everything can be explained via mathematics.

I went out to ???????? ????? ????????Uwajimaya in Beaverton for the first time yesterday. It’s a neat store, having everything Asian. We ate some Japanese food at the adjoined restaurant. Yummy.

This comic is especially funny since I’m about to get married.

Note: apt-get is a Linux (Debian) command to install software, therefore “apt-get install wife” says to add wife to the system.

For those who know what I do for a living, but don’t actually know what I do, I submit this link to an article called What Is Programming? If you would like to know what my levels of enthusiasm are, check here.

These are things that I am not: web designer, tech support, network engineer, and a bunch of other things that I can’t think of right off hand. I’ve not eaten today because I’ve been inspired and wired.

So I’ve been using FriendFeed for a few months now. It basically aggregates my online activity (mostly via “social” networks like Facebook and Flickr) and then provides a feed for anyone to consume. It’s not a bad idea, but it’s really too bad that we need something like this. I think it’s a sign that the social web is out of control. Anyway, I find it useful to track what my friends are doing on the web, since we have similar interests. To see what it looks like, check my feed here: http://friendfeed.com/cleverswine.

Meanwhile, I twittered for the first time last week. It wasn’t as good as people say it is. I’m unfulfilled.
