Google Reader isn’t really that new of an obsession for me, but I don’t recall writing anything about it. And since I am such a big fan, I figured I should at least mention it. I was pretty late to the game with RSS and RSS Readers. I knew what they were and how they [...]

I posted some random photos from a Scholars Seminar on Facebook.

Our apt building has been without hot water since Saturday. It will not be back on until Tuesday. (We were also without hot water Friday morning.) Annoying. We’ve been heating water on the stove in order to bathe in the tub. Today we use a gas stove. I don’t think I would have bathed if [...]

I’ve researched and installed a ton of WordPress plugins recently. These plugins are used to extend WordPress’s capabilities. Using WordPress plugins, I’ve added search engine optimization, automatic similar posts functionality, links to social bookmarking sites, intelligent SEO Ajax-powered Google Search to 404 pages, etc. I now even have a mobile version of the site. Be [...]

I’ve read the Lifehacker blog for some time now. (They give tips and downloads for getting things done.) I also recently read their new book, Upgrade Your Life: The Lifehacker Guide to Working Smarter, Faster, Better. The book is a hard copy some of their better articles.

I would have written about the resolution earlier, but then my website went down. I’ve included the official notice [...]

I posted some photos of 1997 MLK Scholars Trip to Brazil. On a side note, I don’t really like posting photos in Facebook. I had rather use my Flickr account. But posting to Facebook makes it easier to share with groups on Facebook.

Yesterday my computer stopped working – it wouldn’t connect to the Internet. Thinking it was something I somehow caused, I spent more than a hour checking the computer’s settings, router and cable modem. Finally I got frustrated enough that I decided to take a break and turn on the TV for a few minutes. Then [...]

There’s a guy at the subway stop near my office. He’s been there for years. I call him the Subway Socrates. He looks pretty normal, but he strolls around the platform pontificating about either 1.) current events or 2.) lesbians. When I passed him on Friday, he said, “Hillary is part of the lesbian conspiracy [...]
