Making Something Every Day
September 26, 2009I’ve been posting something new to Flickr every day for 42 days now. There’s some pretty cool stuff, if I say so myself. Have a look!

So, in an effort to replace the zope/plone craziness of kzsc.org, I’ve been looking into CMS alternatives. I know – exciting, right? It’s been a whole lot of uploading files, changing permissions and using the wonderful new tabbed terminal in Leopard. I’ve set up a few on this site so far, with only one looking like a real option. If anyone’s had any experience with any of these – let me know!
So maybe joomla for kzsc.org – it’s a whole lot easier than plone, that’s for sure. But for this blog? Wordpress all the way.
On another note – anyone have any strong opinions on the Academy of Art? Specifically the School of Computer Arts: New Media? Because that’s looking like a nice place to head next.
Yeah! Alexa ranks maxelman.com at 9,246,050! That’s only 9,246,047 spots behind google!
Alright, so it’s absurd, but it’s a start, right?

Inspired by lifehacker and this post, I put together a picture and listing of the contents of my everyday bag. Took a lot longer than I thought, but here it is:
Here’s what goes most everywhere with me around college and town, much of that by bike.
Overall, I think I’d be better off than some if I ever crashed onto a deserted island inhabited by people trying to kill me. Of course, I wouldn’t do as well as the guy traveling with a suitcase chuck full of knives. Or those question-inducing people that just happen to carry around pistols with laser sights…

So, I ordered something for a special someone’s birthday, and after the order online was marked as delivered, and UPS told me to contact the shipper (because only they can start a “trace”?), I was a bit frustrated when there was no phone number to be found for Amazon. However, I did find this – a “call me” page where you enter your number and amazon calls you right away on the telly. Shiny.
I told the man who called me all about my problem, and when I suggested starting an official UPS claim, he rebuked that idea and asked if sending a replacement item next day shipping, for free, would make me happy. Of course it did, as I thankfully left a few days until B-Day, so well done Amazon. Of course, I might now end up with two of the gift, which would be especially awkward.. They didn’t even really care if I sent the other back if it even showed up. Crazy.
Good job Amazon. You get points in my book.
Ah, and yes – for anyone who has ever enjoyed Star Trek, look at this. Right now.
