I’m a fantasy baseball addict. I’ve been this way ever since I had to spend a winter alone in a two room apartment in Chicago. I’ve been a member of this league since the 2000 season. While that might seem like a fair chunk of change, the league itself has been going since 1984. Your’s…
This essay dovetails quite nicely with what I’ve been thinking w/r/t the current economic climate. The bizarre discounting of risk, the flood of money without anything concrete behind it.

A List Apart: Articles: A Preview of HTML 5 is a nice intro to HTML5 for those of you who haven’t been paying attention. I was among that group having spent more time looking at XHTML 1.1 and 2.0 development. The crossover with XML is the cooler set of toys in my mind. I found…
You know what’s weird? Seeing a blog entry written by someone and having them reference you as “their boss.” Even if that is technically true—that person does work for me—it just gives me the willies. I never wanted to be anyone’s boss. I just want to write code and see what goofy crap can be…
I’ve been following the ever-increasing Storm Worm phenomena since it’s arrival almost a year ago. I was originally impressed by the relative polish of its social engineering aspects. It has always seemed to me that all manner of phishing, social engineering, and general spam vectors have had some very obvious clues. It’s like the individual…
