The word “lifestreaming” feels overly broad and I do a mental eye roll every time I say it, but I’ll use it for now for the sake of expediency. So I’ve been using Flickr and Delicious forever and Twitter for a while and Google Reader and all of these services are great and let me [...]

So, I’ve been blogging since around 2003. What started out as a collection of random musings slowly mutated into stories about my family and being a father and husband. Lately, that’s been periodically interrupted by seemingly random business and technology posts which I thought I could incorporate but which I’ve come to feel are simply [...]

But then I noticed that the content of the post contained an iframe that I didn’t add. Apparently, it was injected at some point in the past due to running an older, vulnerable version of [...]

Just a quick note to let you know about some minorish changes to the blog. I’ve added a new section called Asides which you can get to from the link on the menu at the top of the page. That section contains an overview of my recent online and offline activity. “Feed Clips” are blog [...]
