    • Happy Birthday Kevin! As always, my brother is just a day and three years behind me, so today marked his 32nd birthday. I hope it was a good one! ➡
    • Applescript: iPhoto or Aperture? Whenever a memory card is inserted, the Applescript launches, checks the volume name of the memory card (which is set by the camera when you format the card), launches the appropriate photo application, and then quits. ➡

    • Adventures on the Metro Then I heard the sound of the bus braking and pulling over to the side of the road. The doors opened, and the sweet smell of pipe tobacco wafted out as the driver beckoned me in. 'Hop on!' So I did. ➡
    • It’s still not my fault… IE still sucks, and it's still not my fault. ;) However, progress has been made on that front, thanks to the absolutely mindblowingly incredible technical wizardry of Dean Edwards' IE7 hack. ➡
    • Happy birthday, Kevin! It's day two of the May birthday extravaganza — my brother Kevin turns 28 today! ➡
  • 2003
    • Happy Birthday Kevin! Happy Birthday Kevin! I know you're out somewhere between Africa and Alaska somewhere, but welcome to being 27! ➡
    • Renew! Renew! Renew! Well, I'm still here and kicking around, so it seems I didn't go up in a fiery explosion in the ritual of Carousel. Frankly, I'm relieved — I've always said I wanted to go out with a bang, but not that literally. ➡

    • Panic Room David Fincher's (one of my favorite directors) latest film, Panic Room, has been in the theaters for a few weeks now, and I just finally got around to seeing it today. Some fan, eh? Ah, well, life's been a bit crazy lately. ➡
    • Dancing is not a crime! There's been a lot of political struggle here in Seattle recently over the Teen Dance Ordinance. A local organization called the NorthWest Late Night Coalition was in the plaza today, holding a rally to gain support for their part in the battle to repeal the TDO, with an information booth, speakers, and DJ's playing. ➡
    • Happy birthday Kevin! Happy birthday to my little brother! Kinda scary to think that he turns 26 today -- in some ways, scarier than me turning 29 yesterday. Yikes. Hey -- he's still my little brother, though. ➡

    • Happy birthday, Kev! Can't believe I almost forgot to say anything about this -- my little brother turns 25 today! Wow...that's kind of frightening. But cool, too. Happy b-day, bro. ➡
    • Memento Very, very cool -- certainly the best film I've seen so far in 2001, and I'm so looking forward to it coming out for sale -- I need to watch it quite a few more times just to make sure I'm seeing everything correctly! ➡
    • Statistics Now, if you're really bored, you can take a look at just how much traffic my webserver actually gets. The page is generated automatically every day at midnight, so the numbers should always be up to date. Purdy nifty. ➡
    • Well, hrmpf. Well...as far as birthdays go, yesterday wasn't the worst -- but I can't honestly say it was the best, either. Ah, well, more reasons for me not to worry about missing living up here too much when I bail. ➡
