SSWI — When in doubt, buff it out.

Well the cat is out of the bag as it were, and that cat is Viewzi Site Search.

That’s right, take all the hotness that is the Viewzi search experience, and drop it right down into your own site. It is now running on Sillyness, go ahead and give it a try, I’ll be here when you get back.

So I realized something this weekend, in point of fact, I realized it this evening, not 30 minutes ago.

I am a failure. In the one area of my life that I should have put my all and been a success, I am a complete, utter, contemptible failure.

Tonight was an artists reception for Rudy Medlock, former chair of the art department at the college where I studied. This was his last year teaching at the college and there was a special art alumni reunion in his honor.

The man who started it all

Rudy started the art program at the college, and for 37 years was a fixture there. He was the reason I entered into the college and chose art as my field. He found a scholarship for me, so that I could get by that first year. He believed in me, in my voice and my talent.

Tomorrow is Drawing Day 2008 and yours truly will be participating.

With a dash of Haitian Vanilla.

This has got to be one of my favorite quick meals. I discovered, and altered this recipe during lent this year, and it was so good that I have permanently added it to my meal catalogue.

At least made at home, on the cheap.

I love a good coffee, but sometimes you want something a bit more involved than a normal cup of joe. When those moods strike me, I reach for the following:

The project that I worked with Matt Brett on last month has finally hit the interwebs. It was a rawking good time to work with Matt, and I think we are both pretty proud of what we produced for Chris Pirillo.

It was fun and odd, all at the same time, to be working with WordPress again. It has been over a year since I had done anything with it really; but you know what they say about bikes and remembering how to ride them!

Man, it has been a good couple of days for those of us in Habari land.

Yesterday we added two more commiters to the project, Ali Al-Wasity and Michael Heilemann. They both have been doing amazing work on Habari, and it is a real sign of our commitment to the meritocratic model that we extended membership to them.

Don’t you just hate it when life sneaks up on you and takes all your free time?

The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of work, family, church, more work and fun. Just a little fun in there to keep me from going insane.
