My annual winter semi-depression has reared its ugly head back into my brain (a little later this year than the last few). Theres something about the snow, lack of sunlight, lack of skating, and lack of overall cool shit that just gets to me this time of year. So far the best way I’ve found to ward it off is to surround myself with stuff that is rad, so I’m gonna try to post some things everyday this week that get me through these cold, snowy days. Kind of like a late Thanksgiving list I guess.

Things that make winter suck less list #1:

• Pixies - Trompe Le Monde - For whatever reason, I never really gave this album a chance. Something just clicked one day last week when listening to it and its been getting about 2 rotations per day since then. My new favorite Pixies album? Possibly.
• digg.com - digg’s got the best/funniest/weirdest tech news of any site I’ve been to. Peep it.
• Coors Light - The beer, not the website. After a few cans, it makes you feel awesome/handsome/cool and you also forget that its winter. Milk can not do that.

More winter radness tomorrow.

The end of the school semester is near, a week and a half to be exact. Of course the end of the semester always means time to catch up on missing assignments, finish up final projects, and study for those damned finals; and this semester is no exception. In fact, I don’t think I’ve been to bed before 1 a.m the last two weeks because of worthless homework.

It’s 12:49 am right now and I’m about to start my Java assignment that’s due at noon tomorrow and the only thing keeping me going is the fact that I’m getting wasted in order to keep myself awake. I’m not sure how easy Java is drunk but I’ll let you know in the morning.

Hope your week is going better than mine.

I haven’t been posting anything because I’ve been staring at this shit for the last 3 days…

Went to watch the Flip and Firm demo at 3rd Lair Skatepark yesterday. Here’s the goods: clicky click. I gotta go take out the garbage now.

Oh yeah, happy b-day to Navy Boi. Call me if you see this cuz I don’t have your new phone number.

In Milwaukee in some rad hotel. Check out the view.

So here’s my shot at a computer-talkless post. I’m sick as a dog, the Packers are useless, fall sucks, and the internet is boring today.

Is that better Navy Boi???

Oh, and that silly Panther is now censoring posts. Its probably for the better.

The photo page got a makeover last night and is now a stream of my flickr account. Like I said before, there is probably many different ways to pull something like this off but thanks to this handy little plug-in, all it took was changing a few chunks of code and adding some of my own to reach the desired effect.

The front page of the site will display the four most recent images in my account and the image page will display the twenty most recent images. This is all done dynamically ala’ PHP and Javascript so I no long have to hard code the HTML and Javascript for each image I add. All I do now is drag my images into my flickr uploader and they automagically appear on the site. Neat.

The only problem that I see so far is that the images are ordered by the date that they were taken instead of the date that I uploaded them. Most of the time this would be no biggie, but if I ever want add an ‘oldie but goodie’ it will get stuck into the middle of the list instead of the top. I can get around it by modifying the ‘date taken’ date but that kind of defeats the purpose of even sharing that information.

Jarhead was sold out last night, buzzkill. Thats it. Go Badgers. Go Bucks too.
