I Have Moved

I have moved all the contents of this blog over to this blog.

My URLs, youcanbrowseme.com and danielwwebb.com now point there.

So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish

So my short stint at LockerGnome seems to be over. Since the move of the site to a new platform, I have not been able to post to the site and my blog seems to have disappeared along with the content that I worked hard on. I can't seem to get a response from the one person at LockerGnome who can help. It's seems like I was just left behind and ignored during the move. So much for feeling like a part of a family. I've given this a few weeks to resolve before I said anything publicly. I appreciate the opportunity to be heard by a larger audience that the LockerGnome blog network provided me, but I think it's time to say my peace and move on.

I'm currently working a full time job while going to school full time. However, this is not a permanent situation and I have solo creative plans that I'm currently thinking up. I may join another collaborative effort in the future, but for now I want to do things on my terms whether they are successful or not. Creativity knows no boundaries, especially on the Internet.

It's Never Felt So Weird To Be Alive

So I was heading out yesterday when I noticed that my tire was a bit flat. I decided that I would go down the street and pump it up a little at the gas station. A few seconds after I started pumping I started to hear a weird noise and then POW the tire exploded and practically in my face. Apparently, this more often than not results in death. Luckily, I am unscathed (I keep checking for holes in my body, though.) and there was a used tire service center across the street. I am never going to inflate my tires again.

Home Office Upgrades

Best Buy was having a sale on the monitor that I've been using for my main machine. Naturally, I took this as a sign that I should add yet another monitor to my desk.

What is not shown in this picture is the new end table that I bought for my printer/scanner. This was essential for two reasons: 1. My desk violently shook every time I printed something. 2. The addition of the new monitor left little room for it on my desk. It is now sitting to the right side of me as I type this out. It also doubles as a coffee and water holder.

Side notes:

While I was at Best Buy, I got to play with some new tech toys. My first mission while there was to check out the Nintendo 3DS. Even though they didn't have a kiosk, the associates unboxed one for me and I got to hold it in my hands and test out the 3D affect. More on this will come in a future Lockergnome post. I also got to check out the Motorola Xoom and the iPad 2. It's a pity that the Xoom was in a back corner while the iPad 2 was prominently perched in front of the Apple department. I believe this device rivals the iPad in fluidity of both hardware and software. The price point and the fact that it doesn't come from Apple will doom this product to forever live in the shadow of Steve Jobs' empire, though. What a shame.

about.me Update

I have updated my about.me profile and have added a link to it in the sidebar of this blog. Not only is the biography now up to date, it is also easier to read.
