A friend recently told me that my brain runs too fast analyzing what's being said and thinking of what to say next that it makes it hard for me to be a good listener. She's probably right. I had always thought that knowing exactly what to say at the right time is what sorted out [...]

weekend recap
Sometimes I have to go back and read my last entry just to remember where I left off. I have more to say than I have time to write. That's probably for the best.
Friday
So, as I mentioned last time, Friday was filled with swimming at the lake, Fireworks, and good friends.
Saturday
Saturday morning we went to [...]
looking for adventure
I had originally planned on taking a road trip out to Atlanta this coming weekend. Just get in the car Friday morning and not look back until Monday. But, as one thing leads to another, it looks like that's just not going to happen. Not because I can't, but simply because I don't think it's [...]
the state of the daniel
I can't even remember *WHERE* I'm supposed to write any more, so I'm just writing here because I can. I'm not really all that happy with LiveJournal right now and I'm thinking I will find some other place to share my "locked" entries. Not really sure where.
So anyway… this will be sort of freeform stream [...]
TTOW: TokBox, video chatting for the masses
TokBox is a website that provides video chat services, also known as webcam services. Yes, it's true, just about every instant messaging platform already does this: Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger – even Google Talk does video chat now. On top of that, there are already so many sites providing video calling and conferencing like [...]
Road Trip this weekend?
Who wants to go on a Road Trip this weekend? We'd leave Friday afternoon or early Saturday morning and head back Sunday or Monday evening. Hotel, gas, photography equipment and park admission is already covered.
If you follow me on Twitter (as you very well should) you may have witnessed my consideration of making an impromptu [...]
TTOW: Intense Debate
In this Tech Tip of the Week (TTOW, get it, almost seems like a feature, doesn't it?), I will present, once again, Intense Debate, a centralized commenting system that has benefits for content authors and readers alike.
Earlier this year I looked at both Disqus and Intense Debate. I weighed each of their merits and drawbacks. [...]
you mean, like, every day?!
I figure, if Kristy can do it then I can because I'm a way better person than her. Ok maybe not.
But I'm going to try anyway. NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month)! Sure, I missed two days this month already, but, at least I'm starting you out with the right expectations.
Every time I look at the [...]
Honeycrisp Ap-Poll
1. Memorable Halloween costume of your childhood? Of your adulthood?
Childhood: In the 5th grade my mom made me a Hermes costume at my request. It was amazing.
Adulthood: A few years ago I went as Charlie Brown… at age 30: Balding, and a drunk wearing his signature shirt covered in stains.
2. Worst/best Halloween candy?
Sometimes you feel [...]
Tumblr
In short, I have a new site you can read: http://revjim.tumblr.com/
There are hundreds of sites begging people to put their cool links into them (delicious.com and the like). But none of them really let you customize the site and make it your own. On top of that, almost every piece of social networking software has [...]
