Three more days!

Only three more days until Geoff and I get married! I’m starting to get super nervous and excited. We are planning on having an awesome outdoor wedding. The weather is slated to be absolutely perfect and we are so grateful for all the help that we’ve received from our dear friends and family—it’s going to be one hell of a party.

After the wedding and an evening of celebrating, Geoff and I will slip away early (10pm) as we will be jetting off to Costa Rica the very next morning. Thanks to all the wonderful gifts we’ve received so far with the help of our Honeyfund gift registry, we will set off on the trip of a lifetime. Yayyyyyy.

Recent music exposure…

…has prompted me to write a blog post. (Aside: Don’t you hate it when people begin their email messages in the subject line?)

I’ve acquired some new music as of late—some gifted and some purchased—and what follows is probably the shortest music reviews you’ll ever come across. [...]

Google Voice transcriptions: butcherer of voicemail

I’ve been using Google Voice for a little more than a year now. Google Voice is loaded with features and I absolutely love the service. According to the website, “Google Voice gives you one number for all your phones, voicemail as easy as email, free US long distance, low rates on international calls, and many calling features like transcripts, call blocking, call screening, conference calling, SMS, and more.” [...]

“Dammit who’s leg do I have to molest on here to get listed on one of these things?”

Poor, poor Michael Banti. After four installments of Twitter Favorites he has become increasingly distraught about not being featured in any of the posts. I must confess, I actually have favorited a few of @MoralThreat‘s tweets but he hasn’t molested anyone’s leg, so therefore, I’ve never listed them here.

I was thinking about posting a few of those favorited tweets here and now but then I thought… Nah! Where’s the fun in that? Besides, how else will Banti reach the esteemed status of “The Susan Lucci of Twitter Favorites”?

Instead, here’s a clip from Family Guy that bears a striking similarity to Michael’s comment left on the Twitter Favorites III: Conversation Edition:

Twitter Favorites IV: Frebby Awards Best Tweet Ever

This year marks the launch of Fresno’s own web awards, The Frebby Awards. “The Frebby Awards recognize Fresno-area creatives who are setting standards for how the web is used—to promote a product, or to connect with alumni, or to rally a cause, or to (fill in the blank).”

Nominations for the awards opened last week. One of the categories for the honorable mention award is “Best Tweet Ever”. This post lists several tweets that would certainly qualify.

Twitter Favorites III: Conversation Edition

Many humorous tweets when taken out of context lose their punch. For this edition of Twitter Favorites I’ve decided to feature brief Twitter exchanges that, for one reason or another, delight me.

In these screen shots the tweets are displayed by the most recent first—to follow the conversation accurately read from the bottom up. Also, make sure to check out the first edition of Twitter Favorites and Twitter Favorites II.

Vast color shifts across multiple applications

Today I uploaded an image to the web to show a colleague. When I previewed the photo online I was shocked by the huge shift in color. The entire image was over saturated and had a green tint to it.

I need a graphic designer!!! (Central Valley, Ca)

On December 30th a post appeared in the art/media/design jobs section of fresno.craigslist.org requesting a graphic designer. The poster wanted to hold a contest to design an ad for a “high end clothing store” and the winner would receive a $40 reward. What ensued were impassioned responses by several readers.

Unfortunately, the original post has been flagged for removal off craigslist. Even more disappointing, some of the best replies have also been removed. But not to worry, I had the entire thread saved in my browser cache and present it here for your enjoyment.

Twitter Favorites II

It’s been a few months since I posted my list of Twitter favorites. Although I haven’t been as disciplined about favoriting as I’d like, I have generated a small group since my last post.
