I wrote a bio while

I wrote a bio while I was chatting with Brent. Touched up the formatting a bit and published it this afternoon. At 1:30am as I wrote it, the line about my dad really resonated. This morning it sounds a bit corny. More than a bit. hmmm.

Well, Brent blogs at 4:30am.

Well, Brent blogs at 4:30am. Cool.

What's the deal with blogs?

What's the deal with blogs? Are any of them ugly? Are they somehow inherently beautiful? Is mine ugly and I don't know it? Who the hell blogs at 4:30am or even 1:30am? I'll be 32 this year.

I warned you that there

I warned you that there would be more about my trip to Austin to see Chrispo. Well, just to wet your appetite for spam.

Star Wars inspires so many good things, like Star Dudes. (from Lot 49)

Want to hang out in

Want to hang out in a bar in Brussels but don't really have the time or money to get there? Beer.com can help.

Yesterday, I ranted about laywers

Yesterday, I ranted about laywers and their screwing up my fun with Elian. Well, all praise Dale! He emailed to say look in your cache stupid. (paraphrased that a bit) Well, duh, I feel silly. Of course it was there; a fine little 540k flash document! Woohoo. Scanned some new photos in this moring before work, now this... on a Friday no less. It's going to be a great day.

Oh no. The wassup video

Oh no. The wassup video from 4/26 is gone thanks to some pinhead lawyer at Associated Press who can't take a joke. I knew I should have made a copy rather than link to it. Bummer. Sorry to those who missed it - yet another reason to check iPaulo often. 8-)

I think I'm a blog

I think I'm a blog addict. I told myself I'd blurf for 5 minutes. I had been reading girlsarewierd for a minute or two, moved on to sexynerds and looked at that for 30 seconds or so. Then I looked at my watch. 5 minutes already. Yikes. Today's letter on girlsarewierd is what did me in. Funny stuff. Oh well. Work work work.

Oh my. Another wassup video

Oh my. Another wassup video comes along combining to the Great and Powerful Elian with beer. True...true.

What are the young whippersnappers

What are the young whippersnappers (or gilda on whips) saying around campus today?
He is so shaded.
She put so much salt in my game I was drowning.
I've got no idea what this means. This is so whacked, man.

Oh, yeah. Saw a sneak

Oh, yeah. Saw a sneak preview this weekend of Where the Heart Is with Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd. Finally, a movie I don't have to mock Ashley's horrible acting. Lots of good acting by Portman, although much of the writing was pretty blah. Good date movie. Great chick flick. Fun if you're a guy who likes either of the star actresses. Amazing if you like both. Go Queen!

What have some people said

What have some people said about my boss? From an excellent Wired article, 'His wife, Julia, recalls a party when a stranger asked her if she had "any stuff." It took her a second to realize he was asking her for drugs. "You know," the guy urged, "whatever it is your husband's on.'

WoooWhooo. UCLA's new recycling program

WoooWhooo. UCLA's new recycling program can finally recycle type 1 and type 2 plastics in locations all over campus. No more throwing away those silly Rubio's cups I get with lunch.

Neat. 80's TV junkorama.

Didn't spent more than 30

Didn't spent more than 30 seconds scrolling through this blog. Of course, The Professional is one of his top 5 movies, which gives it globs and globs of credibility in my book. Mostly, I just thought the page looked nice.

Oh boy. I just ordered

Oh boy. I just ordered my copy of Communism is Neat.

I'm a touch late with the easter humor, but this is worthy of a post-easter looksee. (from Unintentional Mullet)

This Halo java applet is absolutely incredible (from the mutability.com weblog.)

Java Robots? I'm not sure

Java Robots? I'm not sure if that's a good description, or what I'm seeing with this thing, but it sure looks nifty.

Phil Hendrie's move from nights

Phil Hendrie's move from nights to afternoon drive has changed my perspective on my hellish one plus hour commute. (real audio for the audio)

My food would be peanut

My food would be peanut butter cookies. What would yours be?

I found online versions of the Pacbell DSL ads. If you don't live in Pac Bell's region, be sure to view these. (found at Ryan Hadley's blog)

So many creative things on the net, so little time. Will the fun never end?

Waiting to do a job interview. Surfing the web and found another Whassup quicktime movie (from linkmachinego: another blog)

Yikes. I spent a few

Yikes. I spent a few more minutes with splorp and Grant Hutchinson.Even better than the logo thing, is the domain name of the week.

Oh man. One doesn't need

Oh man. One doesn't need to go to yahoo, google, go, or anywhere else to find great stuff on the net. Just go to Blogger! In the fresh blogs panel, you'll find real gems like this little observation about corporate logos spiraling out of control. iPaulo has needed a logo for a while and I think I've found the inspiration for one. The only pertinent question now is how many spirals can I work into iPaulo.

Ah. The Sims. A friend

Ah. The Sims. A friend brought this over to a party and I had to have it. My SimFamilies are still very boring, but the Winklesteen Family Album is worth reading.

By popular demand, I've added

By popular demand, I've added a swinging google box for your searching pleasure. Who needs my.yahoo.com or netcenter.com? They offer nothing but banner ads without the character and style iPaulo offers.

Well, I'm in the doghouse

Well, I'm in the doghouse agin' Work'in at UCLA does have it perks; being exposed to student work like this is definitely one of them. Don't miss this. You may want to enter through the front door for the full experience, but be sure to find your way to the music section!! (requires the free RealPlayer)

What's this girl thing? If

What's this girl thing? If someone takes the time to find out, please let me know. I was intrigued by the graphics and content on one page I looked. I plan to look more later, but if you tell me my first impression was wrong I won't bother.

Ah man! The free traffic

Ah man! The free traffic map of LA is temporarily UNavailable till May! Argh! I guess it's back to the all the text CalTrans page.

I thought the only things

I thought the only things in North Carolina were the Tar Heels and my good 'ol grandpa. Boy was I wrong. There is also a person who wrote a hip javascript clock. Y'all go look at it, y'hear.

To GNUtella or not to

To GNUtella or not to Nutella? That is the question.

I had to leave Austin.

I had to leave Austin. The short blog... Austin is amazing. Spamarama, Swamp Romp in Waterloo Park, Ester's Follies and the rest of Sixth Street! All great. Good food, some bad traffic, lots of butterflies. More blog later.
