Blog preview

Friday, April 30th, 2010

I haven’t seen anyone do this, so I thought I’d give it a try.

Here is a combination preview of upcoming posts/reminder to myself to post this stuff:

  • Amazing musical piece/video built with samples from the original Disney cartoon version of Alice in Wonderland
  • MC Frontalot’s “pr0n song”
  • Jonathon Coulton’s “Code Monkey”

Google Reader

I added the crap I share through Google Reader to my blog. It’s in the upper right corner, right under the ’search’ box.

For you RSS readers out there, either save off the nifty html snippet I snagged from Google  (it’s at the bottom of this post), follow me in Google Reader, or click through once in a while, dammit!

There’s lots of good crap from BoingBoing that I share but don’t blog about.

What I don’t blog

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

If something is posted on BoingBoing or Slashdot, I almost never blog it.  I figure if you’re reading my blog, you’re almost certainly following BoingBoing (and Slashdot, if you’re a techie).

So, if you don’t read BoingBoing, and you like my stuff, read it!  Boing Boing Gadgets is also quite cool, as Casanova Frankenstein would say.

Avoiding my brain-spew

If you don’t like getting all the stupid crap I did/think about, you should probably subscribe to just a few categories.  To get just the kind of stuff that showed in my last blog, you probably want:

The import process

Monday, April 13th, 2009

First, I apologize if you just got spammed with all my old blog entries again. I should have imported *before* I directed people to put the new blog on their feed reader :-O

Also, I notice that a lot of the old entries came in wonky. Over time I’ll fix the old ones, but you can still find them in their prior glory at their original locations (http://wurp.livejournal.com or http://wurp.blogspot.com).
