There was Gavin’s birthday, there was lots of fun with family, there was the kids’ first camping overnight (aside from sleeping in Gma and Gpa McC’s backyard once), there was fun at the beach, a trip to the Exploratorium.  Most of it is undocumented, except in our memories, but we did capture a few moments […]

class=”aligncenter” Hey again.  Been super busy around here lately, but something I found made me want to share.  This is a quick and easy trick that looks awesome and will save valuable space on your website.  Ever seen those boxes where you enter your email address or a search and it says “enter search/name/whatever here” […]

i’ve really enjoyed the discussion that my experiment has generated.  this has always been a really low traffic blog, although i’ve always felt like it could do better.  in the last few days i’ve somehow attracted the attention of people who would never have come here before, and i credit that, largely, to twitter.  so […]

[audio:littleargumentwithmyself.mp3] this is the argument i have in my head: upstart blogger has been around for a while. he’s established trust with his honest representation of things. he approaches topics reasonably. he’s also exposed a few twitter scams and pyramid schemes. he’s built a good reputation. also, he makes a lot of money blogging: a […]

today i put my theory to the test. it goes like this: if the twitter rocket program is so easy, and i know the types of things that upstart blogger has exposed in the past so i know what he’d avoid, then the actual process needs to be really freakin’ obvious. so as i was venting […]

the more i say it, the more i like the sound of “twitter schoolbus.” it gives the impression that we’re all learning about this process together. here’s my day 1 review (and if it fails, it will be called the twitter short bus): followed everyone i was following on my jazzs3quence and our arcanepalette twitter accounts […]

i’m starting a twitter experiment today. i’m tired of reading upstart blogger and listening to all the tales of how great his new product twitter rocket is. i’ve no doubt it works. however, i am left with a lingering skepticism: as great as the product may be, and as fantastic as a 50% payout on his […]

I tend not to get into religion or personal issues here.  The theory is sort of that that’s one of those subjects that’s bound to rile people up and not polite to discuss.  Then again, this site gets very little traffic, so riling people up can only help… I consider myself to be pretty theologically […]

i’ve been thinking of redesigning jazzsequence.com.  i love this design, i do, and it was a huge project to design, since much of it was written by hand, but i’ve been thinking of ways to monetize the site, if possible, and this layout isn’t very conducive to that.  it’s a good blog layout, and if […]

we rarely (if ever) go to movies in the theatre anymore. this is sometimes depressing when long awaited films are released in the theatre that we really, really want to see. as the kids get older (particularly our youngest), scheduling a block of 4 or so hours where they can be sat by the grandparents […]

We’re getting ready to start a new collaboration with Author Teleseminars which ultimately involved looking for some great, professional-looking WordPress themes to set up quickly for some of her clients. There’s all sorts of lists out there, top 10 lists, top 15, Smashing has a list of 83 and another list of 100. That’s a […]
