the coolest nerd

On one of my sites, people waxed quixotically and discussed their resolutions. Of course, theres the standard: work out, lose weight, spend less.. ideas that never work out — so I figured this year I’d do something different.

I haven’t come up with a definitive list, but here are a few of the things I want to accomplish by the end of next year.. sorted in order of difficulty.

1. Start biking again
2. Read more.
3. Update this blog more often and take more pictures.
4. Update, modernize, and promote the many sites I already run. Do something with the plethora of extra domain names I own.
5. Develop a video game. I haven’t worked on one in ten years and will have to relearn.
6. Buy a house.

To keep myself on track, and to help fulfill step 3, I will keep track of my progress on here.

I only heard about Broomball a few weeks ago — and though it took me a while to believe that it actually existed, the idea intrigued me enough to sign up. Unfortunately I left late and got stuck in traffic, so I got there late, but I got to play photographer for the day and I think I was lucky enough to get a few awesome photos.

Please keep in mind that I just got this camera, and I haven’t learned it’s in and outs so some of them are a bit blurry and could be much better.  All of the on ice photos were taken through a telephoto lens.

I just need to vent. Lets say you’re chatting, and you send someone a link. Especially when it’s in the middle of a conversation and on topic — why can’t people just click the link and not expect me to explain what they’re about to see? Just click the damn link. It’ll take longer for me to type than for you to load up a picture of a lolcat. Or to watch one of my youtube videos. Jeez.

From now on, I’m just going to ignore requests of this nature. Click the freaking link. You’re not going to get a virus or malware from a link sent by me. Who do you think I am? A n00b?

If it’s an unsolicited message that says something like “hot babes click here” or “oh my god you have to click this” then you should be weary, but otherwise, why make someone waste their time?
