So, it seems that “cinemagraphs” are the new in-thing, and I don’t really have a problem with that. Moving photographs are pretty awesome any way you slice it, right? Anyhow, I spent an hour or so this afternoon fooling around with this to see if I could make a somewhat “cinemagraphic” GIF. I don’t think [...]

I laughed so hard when I saw this in my neighborhood, because you can plainly see the (very) short story behind it. It’s obvious that there was some sort of graffiti painted on the wall, which had been mostly scrubbed away by city workers. The would-be artist then returned, only to find that his late-night [...]

Kristin and I have said our goodbyes to Seattle, and made our way down to California (from whence I came). We’re not yet in San Francisco, but we’ll get there. In the meantime, it’s actually quite nice here in the Valley. Full size image available here.

Simply amazing. Taken just a week ago in Florence by ContemplatingJazz, at deviantART.

One of my favorite things about Twitter is the chance to see truly angry people sum up their angst in concise bursts of text. These were a couple of my favorites from today: (The tweet) Yep, Del.icio.us is dead, and Yahoo! is in a death spiral. I have a feeling Warren’s not the only user [...]

Earlier this year, I wrote about my departure from AT&T and the cult of iPhone, in which I extolled the virtues of simpler technologies like those found in Blackberry devices. It was nice to leave the App Store and its countless fart-apps. It was nice to have an indicator light to tell me when I [...]

Yesterday, I made the fixed-width version of LEFT5 available for download, but today is a day for would-be photobloggers. The flexible-width version is now available at the LEFT5 download page, in all its image-centric glory. The flexible-width version has all the same goodies as its fixed-width counterpart, but has the added feature of being built [...]

It’s been a little over 3 months since I released version 1.2 of my LEFT5 WordPress theme for anyone who wanted it, but it’s come a long way since then. Version 1.5 is, in every essential way, the same great theme that the initial release was — now it’s just sexier. The main reasons you [...]

I don’t really use Textpattern at the moment, but I had been curious about it so I thought I’d give it a shot. Having recently ditched Apache for an LNMP-stacked VPS, I wanted to see if the spry little CMS would be compatible with Nginx without going through a gauntlet of issues. It’s especially important [...]

I’ve been using Media Temple for well over a year now, specifically the Grid Service. While it’s a great service for people looking to get hosted on a budget, it’s a bit lacking on the control side of things, and I really felt the need to move out of the cloud and into a VPS. [...]

The very theme this site is now using, which was originally created for and implemented over at Loupe, is now publicly available. The theme is not for the kind of WordPress bloggers out there who use widgets or masses of plugins for their sites. I personally detest those things, and I know there are many [...]

So I know I haven’t been around much lately, but I can explain that in a bit. EndofWeb has a brand spankin’ new redesign! I’ve given it the very same WordPress theme that Loupe has been using successfully for a few months now — Left5. It’s gone through loads of tweaking and shaving since the [...]
