LifestreamAnd this time it’s a big round number. I’d be terribly anxious if I wasn’t already so desensitized. Perhaps it will all sink in with time, creating some sort of colossal crisis. Good news is that at least you get free leech with a few torrent sites. Yay. That is about as festive as it’s [...]

Ever heard of AVS (Address Verification System)? No, neither had I, until quite recently as I tried to place an online order from a US based watch reseller. Basically, AVS verifies the cardholder’s billing address upon placing an order. So in effect, the shipping address and the cardholder billing address have to match. Sounds like [...]
Time flies, eh? I wish I could report on progress of some sort but alas there has been very little. I’m pretty much where I was a year ago. A little wiser and a little more bitter, sure. But that is the way of the world, is it not?
It would seem I couldn’t stay away for more than 10 months or so. I still don’t think these journals are entirely worth the investment in terms of time, but in the end I felt like I was missing out on something. Originally I thought that I could just walk away and never look back. [...]

Of course it should be nothing new to someone who is extensively well-read in behavioral science, but as always reading about it and experiencing [...]
It’s been an awful couple of months. Following recent events, which I was never able to fully cope with, I have been unable to accomplish much of anything. Things have been slow all in all. And then came the holidays and things really ground to a halt. Holidays tend to do that. Nothing to do [...]

Call me cranky but it is sort of typical that after just a week or so of being back at the university you catch some sort of pesky virus. And one that actually made in impact which is sort of rare. Yeah — people — what are they good for. Walking Petri dishes the lot [...]
Last.fm has gone public with the design that was showcased to subscribers. I didn’t realize how bad it was until I actually had to use it. Slow to load, overly glassy and glossy, and with tons of little design quirks that just scream of a design being unfinished. Here are some of the most obvious [...]
