Your Attention, Please

Reports of the inexplicable death of my Palm Zire have been greatly exaggerated. I think the poor little thing just didn't like the extreme cold. I'll keep it in my pants from now on. It's nice and warm there.

The New York Times ran a piece today about design blogs. They pointed me back to a site I stumbled over and meant to highlight for the Handy Homosexuals (like me). Check out Apartment Therapy. Permanently into My Links they go.

Picasa 2 is an update to the Picasa software (brought to you free by the fine folks at Google). I downloaded it and ran a scan on my old hard drive. It pulled off every image (some I didn't even know I had) as well as all the dirty porn videos I had lurking on my old system. I now know for certain that I have back up copies of all my old pictures. And best of all you can burn all the files right to a CD from Picasa. It's built in. It also has a killer feature that let's you make gift slideshow CD's. I'm going to get a new scanner and start archiving a ton of old and family photos to send to the inbred relations back in Buffalo. Download the software for yourself here.

Tweaking the look of my site. I'm going for something a little sleeker and more masculine. And if I ever decide to get a tattoo, after all these years, I finally found the one I would want.

Speaking of archiving data, The Ex has beaten me to the technological punch and bought himself a DVD recorder. He's hooked it to the VCR and has been busily converting all my porn tapes to DVD. I've regained a ton of closet space and thrown away an entire garbage bag stuffed with porn tapes. And he's still not done. I own a lot of porn.

Here's an example of what would have been lost from my high-class picture collection had I not recovered the data:
