I admit it, I’m a Tumblwhore

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

In support of the blogosphere’s rapid movement, I have created a special Tumblr account for you all to enjoy. (With the “aid” of a few unmentionable people)

(PS - If you haven’t signed up for Tumblr, do so now, because it rocks!)

I will be re-hashing much of my content here, as well as moblogging some new and exciting quotes and hilarity.

My Job is to make fun happen

Friday, April 27th, 2007

Every day at work, is normal, except for today. Today was very different.

Alan begins each day with a little touch of magic.

The day moved along normally… until we got a surprise visitor! Casey from Galacticast stopped by to hang out. Both Jed and Vanessa were excited to meet her.

Jessica was happy, too.

But for some reason, I was sad…

Later that day, Justin decided it was time to get down to business. Andres stole my camera and captured his intense emotions.

Andres, upon taking photo’s, realized how goofy he was being.

However, this goofiness was completely trumped by Casey, again. Lindsey’s pink obsession was even drowned out by it.

I was so thrilled to be taking photographs at work, so I took my camera back, and continued to move throughout the room.

Eventually I got to Jared. Jared didn’t approve of his picture being taken.

(Probably because he’s an internet super hero)

And immediately beat me to the ground.

Pete was suspiciously scheming, while Gene continued to smugly mock me.

And that was my day in a nutshell.

Kristopher Attwood drinks PBR!

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Kris is a friend of mine who frequently talks about the ethics and moral dilemmas of life. Occasionally, he will be overheard discussing bowling, or pool.

On this rare occasion, I managed to capture him discussing the finer things in life, such as pink bow ties.

Kris

Kris: Actually if you had a top hat, and then tipped it, with a slight bow.
Me: Exactly, and a cane, or a monocle.
Kris: Ok Mr. Peanut
Me: Or maybe a pink bow tie?
Kris: With polka dots? thats what makes a bow-tie, unless it spins.
Me: No, the kind without, the kind you wear on your head for flare.
Kris: So who wears a bow tie in their hair?
Me: Hipsters, people who drink PBR, and My Little Pony.

I have the surprising suspicion that Kris may in fact be a Hipster. Maybe it’s the pink bow tie? or maybe his love for PBR. Only time can tell.

Following the above, I received more wonderful commentary:

Kris: You’re my little pony…. if you know what I mean

Thank You Sokha Saing

For the past few months, my blog has been a disaster for users browsing with Internet Explorer. Well, the problem is finally fixed.

I decided to dig deep into the problem with my template, and fix the issues killing the sidebar some of you may now see to the right. The design is slightly different, and not as pretty, but it’s much more functional.

Since Internet Explorer still holds roughly 60% of the internet within its grasp, I felt inclined to make the changes.

However, I would not have done anything, had Sokha’s persistent, IE7-fan-boy nagging not bothered me. I know he loves IE, but that’s because he’s not a Firefox fan-boy such as myself. (I’m kidding Sokha, I love you.)

Sokha

Here’s a conversation that occurred between us earlier this evening:

Me: Ok asshole, I fixed my blog, now it works with IE.
Sokha: Nice, thanks ian

And there you have it… proof that he’s a nagging jerk.

Ok, you got me. This was just a cheap way to plug his site, and give him credit for pushing me to fix my own site like I did to him earlier.

So, thank you Sokha, you rock.

For anyone else, let me know what you think of the new design. Is it too wide for your browser? Does it look like crap? Whatever your thoughts are, please let me know.

Have a fun day, and don’t forget to visit Sok4Akira.net
