  • If Drugs Were Legal

    Everyone should watch this video about what would happen if Drugs were Legalized, regardless of what side of the issue you’re on. It’s an hour long, and fortunately Google lets you download it for later viewing. It is 231mb, though, so only high-speed connections need apply.

  • What’s In It For Me?

    The only reason anyone does anything is because there is something init for them. You may not know that or be willing to accept it, butit’s universally true. Even Mother Teresa, who probably helped peopleuntil the day she died, got something out of helping all those people.What she got out of it is what kept…

  • Serendipity

    One of the things I really like about Vox is that it seems to encourage serendipitous reading of other people’s blogs on Vox. You can see in real time what other Voxers are doing. For example, I posted a backdated article originally from my other blog and within a few moments, I had a piece…

  • Where’s PhoneBoy

    I’ve now added a perhaps voyeristic feature to my other blog: a statusmessage from twitter. I’d add it here as well except there isn’t a way for me to add a block of Javascript to my Vox site. I’ve left some feedback for the people at SixApart about this. Maybe they’ll add the ability to…

  • Mining for Gold–In your Inbox

    I’m sure like most of you, I get a lot of spam. Hundreds of messages every single day. I have multiple places to look through as well. Most of my personal email gets forwarded to Gmail, though a “cache” of this email exists at my ISP as well. Problem is: that cache has a spam…

  • Quote from my Wife

    Someone asked my wife the other day “when did your daughter start speaking in complete sentences?” Her response? “Who knows, nobody in our family shuts up long enough to notice.”

  • Blog Housecleaning

    I have been slowly but surely approving the old blog postings I sucked into Drupal from my old blog. It created a heck of a lot of articles. What I have to do is resolve the dependencies (i.e. links to other places). That takes a little bit of time–time I’d rather be spending doing other…

  • Some Old Content May Come Here

    As I am manually going through the old postings I had in my other blog, some of the postings there may be more appropriate here as they are more personal in nature. Since Vox allows posts to be backdated, I can even maintain more or less the same time as well. You may see some…

  • A Fresh Start

    I could come up with a story about how I wanted a fresh start and felt “deleting and starting over was a good idea,” but basically, I did something really stupid. Shame on me for doing something incredibly stupid. Shame on me for not having backups. Basically my blog postings on www.phoneboy.com are gone–two and…
