Indifference
2008-02-22 04:05:00
I was surfing about Deviant Art, and found this piece: “Indifference“. I feel that it makes a perfect point in regards to a tragic direction that our society is turning. The artist talks about a man who was beaten in New York City while the public just idly walks by. I have also heard an urban ...

2008-02-17 03:54:00
Last autumn I enrolled in an arts and technology course at the University of Washington in Vancouver.

2008-02-15 08:53:00
Well, I finally decided what to do with my spare domain name, spillitout.com. Some of my friends here in the Portland area thought it would be cool to have a simple “tag board”.

I own a domain name, www.spillitout.com. It was at one point an online forum, however it is no longer in operation. That leaves me with a free domain name! It would be a shame to let the domain name lapse because I believe it’s a great name. That is why I plan to re-develop the ...

Huge Lesson For Mac Users!
2008-02-06 23:40:00
The other day I was fiddling permissions to get file sharing to work as I had wanted it to for my network. I noticed a group called “Everyone” that had read-only access to my entire root drive.
