You: I love you. Also, possibly, hate. Internets | (10)
Attention faithful viewers: Next week is Official Commenter Appreciation Week! Every year, the first full week of October is reserved for blog-type people to appreciate their commenters. (It should be noted that there may actually be such a thing, but for my purposes I am making this up right now as I type.) All over the intertubes, famous person-bloggers take a week to shower love and non-sexual favors on their loving, non-sexually favorable readers. I, being the bastion of magnanimity that I am, of course, am no exception. All next week I will be publishing odes and homages to my ...

New Page, or How I learned to stop worrying and love the permalink Internets | (0)
Because you demoted it, I've created a new page (see top) containing all of my wittilicious blog taglines, in reverse chronomagical order. Out of context like that, they're pretty lame (i.e., cow), so I may take it down. That means you better click it while it's hot. Sushi.

Stop the character assassination Internets | (2)
Over the last few days there's been a lot of internet gossip about me—mostly on Gawker, and then Drudge picked it up. People are saying mean, hateful things. They're saying that I don't really have business cards like I posted a few days ago. One commenter on Politico even claimed that I don't have any fingers. Well, to put these rumors to rest, and to restore my and my fingers' good names*, I've produced (annotated) photographic proof: Now I think we can put this sad episode behind us once and for all. I am currently much too busy (in life), doing ...

Photographing Whales Internets | (3)
In March, I signed up for the awesome-but-difficult-to-define internet service Twitter. Ryan, my friend and a talented photographer, expressed some mild concern: "Twitter is stupid. I just don't understand the point, or even the fun in it. It's retarded. Completely and utterly pointless." Last week—of course—he signed up for his own account. Rather than waste time trying to figure out who told whom so, I want to help Ryan fully utilize Twitter for his photography business (and you can come along while I do). It's true, Twitter can be enigmatic. The natural question we ask as part of a pragmatic ...

A gracious host Internets | (0)
In case you didn't notice (and you didn't, because you wouldn't), I've switched webhosting companies for This is Conlan. If you ever tried to visit the site and got a "Page cannot be displayed" error, or something similar, it's because of my previous host: the craptubular Midphase/AN Hosting. Hopefully that kind of thing will be reduced now. Here is my cancellation email to Midphase/AN Hosting: Dear Midphase: Your hosting is perfect for a balls-to-the-extreme lifestyle, such as mine. I'm not the kind of guy who enjoys predictability--the so-called status quo. I want excitement, uncertainty! I don't want to be lulled into a calming ...
