  1. Breaking with style.

    March 9, 2010 by Collin

    I love when dishes do this. It’s like they’re saying, “I’m breaking now, but I’m not going to break any more than I have to in order to be utterly useless to you.

  2. It’s just not right.

    March 5, 2010 by Collin

    Being this tired of everything on a Friday… There’s no way that two days will be enough to recover from the strain of the past few weeks/months. It wasn’t enough last weekend, or the weekend before. No reason to expect this weekend to be different.

    But that’s just negative thinking, right? I need to stop doing that. Somehow. It’s not easy to break a lifelong habit, but it’s reaching the point where I must in order to continue to function at any level above a potato. Assuming I’m currently functioning above the level of a potato. Some days I have to wonder…

    Perhaps this weekend I’ll find some time to lose myself in finally creating some new designs for SplitReason.

    This past Wednesday, while waiting for Heather to complete her tour, I started doodling for the first time in months and it felt pretty good. I do so much work on the computer, I forget how relaxing it can be to draw with a pen in my hand. Now I just need to escalate from doodles to something of worth.

    If I come up with anything, I’ll be sure to post it here.

    I really need to buckle down and power through my studies into CSS. Right now when I open the book I can get through about half a page before my eyes start swimming. I’m only halfway though the first book. In hindsight I probably should have started with “Learn CSS in 10 Minutes”. Maybe I should shift gears, work through that and then return the the book I’m currently on.

    Ugh. My brain is old and rusty.

    I’m still learning but not as fast as I would like.

    I have every intention of shaving my head this weekend as well. My hair is annoying me, and it’s high time I did something about it. I miss the feeling of the wind on my scalp as I amble hither and yon. Weeee! Woosh! Amble!

    The last time I shaved my head my hair was about half as long as it is right now and it nearly killed the clippers.

    I have to make a contingency plan in case they crap out this time. I can see it now. I’ll have half my head stripped to the skin, and the other half will be varying levels of random butchery.

    What to do, what to do…

    I suppose I’ll have to dye what’s left red and pretend that it was my plan all along. If I widen my eyes as far as I can, tilt my head to one side, don’t blink and have a slight smile at all times, I think I might just pull it off.

    If I put my clothes on backwards it might even get me a vacation. A cozy, padded, sedated vacation. Mmmmmm…

  3. About 9 hours from now…

    March 2, 2010 by Collin

    … MacHeist will go live once again. If you have a Mac, it’s well worth checking out.

    Between now and when they launch you can get a free license for an app called “Squeeze,” although it requires Snow Leopard. I have the license, however I haven’t tried the program yet. It’s getting favorable comments on MacHeist’s facebook page.

    I’m not sure if this is a full-on MacHeist, or just a straight-forward package of applications. A full-on MacHeist involves a lot of minigames and detecting to earn registrations for a variety of side programs before the big reveal of the main package. At least that’s how it’s been for the last few years. The impression I have is this will just be the package, however there may be some bonus programs that will be unlocked after a set number of packages have been sold. I guess we’ll know in about 9 hours.
